Morel Biggie ruby red

The Morel Biggie portable speaker combines refined minimalist design with surprising sound performance; this 18 cm square model conceals a two-way audio system capable of delivering rich, detailed sound. Its long-range Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, 20-hour battery life, and compatibility with advanced audio technologies make it the ideal companion for discerning music lovers on the go.

Morel’s Legacy in a Portable Format

Morel, a renowned manufacturer in the high-end audio world, brings its recognized expertise in handcrafted speakers and Hi-Fi equipment to the Biggie. This compact model directly inherits the sound qualities of its big brother, the Högtalare, while adopting a more accessible and portable format. The brand’s artisanal know-how is evident in every aspect of this speaker, which is hand-assembled to ensure impeccable quality.

Contrary to what its name might suggest, the Biggie stands out for its compact dimensions (18 × 18 × 11.5 cm), which do not prevent it from delivering sound that meets the brand’s high standards. This technical feat demonstrates Morel’s ability to miniaturize its expertise without compromising audio quality.

A Design That Blends Aesthetics and Functionality

The Biggie’s design is defined by its clean lines and contemporary look, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any interior. Its square shape with sharp angles and matte finish give it a discreet yet assertive presence. The speaker features an animal-friendly faux leather handle, making it easy to carry while adding a touch of elegance.

Available in nine different colors (including black, white, red, dark blue, light blue, olive green, and turquoise), the Biggie adapts to all decorative styles and personal preferences. The magnetically attached front grille can be removed to access the components or simply to change the speaker’s visual appearance.

The control panel, subtly integrated into the front face, includes intuitive buttons for power, volume, Bluetooth pairing, and wireless stereo mode, offering immediate and effortless operation. These essential features are accessible without compromising the product’s clean lines.

Sophisticated Sound Architecture

At the heart of the Biggie is a meticulously designed two-way bass reflex audio system. This system includes a custom 10 cm woofer for precise reproduction of low frequencies, paired with Morel’s signature 2.5 cm soft dome tweeter, renowned for its faithful rendering of high frequencies.

The whole system is powered by Class D amplifiers delivering a total output of 60 watts (45 watts for the woofer and 15 watts for the tweeter), allowing for an impressive sound level of 95 dB at 1 meter. The frequency range extends from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, thus covering the essential spectrum of human hearing.

The integrated digital signal processing (DSP) technology optimizes acoustic performance in real time, ensuring consistent tonal balance regardless of listening volume. This fine-tuned calibration allows the Biggie to accurately reproduce all musical genres, from classical to electronic music, with a warmth and definition rarely found in this category of portable speakers.

Advanced Connectivity and Generous Battery Life

The Biggie features the latest generation of Bluetooth technology (5.3 BLE), offering an exceptional range of up to 50 meters without obstacles. This feature allows you to leave your smartphone indoors while enjoying your music in the garden, without worrying about signal dropouts or degradation.

Compatibility with Auracast technology expands usage possibilities, while the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) function lets you pair two Biggie speakers to create a wireless stereo system with enhanced channel separation and soundstage. For non-Bluetooth sources, a 3.5 mm auxiliary input is also available.

The speaker houses a rechargeable 28 Wh lithium-ion battery (11.1 V, 2600 mAh) providing up to 20 hours of playback at moderate volume. Charging is via USB-C, with a full charge possible in two hours or a quick 20-minute charge providing about four additional hours of listening. A convenient feature also allows you to charge a smartphone via the speaker’s USB-C port.
