Effortlessly exceptional.
iBox XC

Effortlessly exceptional.

Every XC is cut, shaped, and finished entirely by hand — weeks of work on a single speaker, until the solid bamboo reaches a finish you'll want to run your hand across.

iBox XC voltmeter

Royal Dutch Soundsystem.

A hand-stitched leather handle. A machined volume dial. A red-LED voltmeter reading the charge down to the volt, and a battery light that glows from inside the bass port.

Sound you hear exactly as it was recorded.

Bamboo at 75 lb/ft³ — nearly twice as dense as oak. Heavy enough to stay still while the drivers work, so what reaches you is the recording. Jazz, classical, a single voice — the weight of the bass, the air around the piano, the breath before the note.

Reviews

"I received my XC last Wednesday and after admiring the finishing touch and the wonderful fine artwork, I connected it to the DAC of my main audio system, namely DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR R2R Ladder DAC, and already out of the box I was literally shocked by what I've heard! The sound quality of this speaker goes beyond any imagination in relation to its size, the timbre is exceptional, no color, the detail is scary, the trumpet effect due to the loud position of the speakers produces a brilliant sound image, Dynamics are high, high frequencies are broad, steely, refined and above all the grain is non-existent!

In short, the iBOX XC HD is a mini implant that, IMHO, surpasses 5000 euro audio installations. I was expecting an excellent speaker but I did not imagine until now and now I understand why the great Hi-End websites virtually ignore you, simply because if the knowledge of your products expands, other speaker manufacturers might close ! You are awesome and I'm just keen on watching this masterpiece, figuring you to listen to it.

Thank you so much for giving me pure audiophile pleasure!"

Achille M. from Italy

 

"I had to write and tell you that the iBox XC that you made me out of the HD Bamboo is unfricken believable !!!!

The craftsmanship and quality are second to none. This box punches you right in the face. And it is so clean and crisp that it makes the hairs on your body just stand straight up.

Now for all of you audiophiles out there like me this box will knock your socks clean off .  I have it hooked up to my digital player and you can hear music like you never ever thought was possible. Whether you’re listening to a digital PONO player or a $3,000 Astell and Kerns digital player. This box will kick your ass..

Thomas you are a MASTER !!!         

Thank you .. Thank you … Thank you 

I am going to be ordering a second box soon and I want to see that Ammo box in a much bigger size..." Bret B. from Georgia, USA

 

"Ok where do I start. I will be posting a YouTube review coming soon. Here are the categories in the Thodio XC high density.

1. Finish: Perfectly made with extreme detail, beautiful color, and top quality wood. 

2. Connection: I have the 18hour battery with wifi and guitar bus. Everything synced well with no issue top quality knobs built to last.

3. Sound: This thing kicks ass, highs and mids are crisp and the bass thump's. I compared this to my Marshall Hanwell, the Marshall performs well however the Thodio XC keeps all sound leveled without any distortion. Thodio is louder and outperforms the Hanwell in many ways. Thodio has better sound quality in diverse range where as the Hanwell needs lots of tweaking and starts to lose sound quality when at high volumes. Bottom line Thodio beats the crap out of my Marshall.

4. Final thoughts I am completely satisfied, Thodio uses the best of the best components. This speaker is built to last and haven't heard any speaker setup in its class that can come close. Awesome job Thodio keep up the good work!!!!

5. Buy one you will be blown away." Pietro Bendotti from the USA

The Best Materials 

This iconic wireless speaker system is meticulously hand crafted out of 0.71 inch solid High Density Bamboo, into a timeless and unique design which gives the iBox XC it's astonishing looks and benchmark sound.

The ultra smooth finish and natural looks of this Bamboo are second to none. 

HD, compressed bamboo has a very high density of 75 lb/ft3 vs 45 lb/ft3 or 1200kg/m3 vs 700kg/m3 compared to oak wood, this means a very high resistance to blemishes and a much more inert cabinet giving it an even cleaner sound. 

Add the spectacular 10 layer high gloss coating to your cart to take this speaker system to the highest level: 

The Best Components

Twin audiophile custom made 6.5 inch kevlar coned woofers with 1 inch silk dome tweeters that extend well past 24KHz.

Our new hand calibrated 200 watts audiophile T-Class Tripath amp is highly efficient and incredibly powerful. Specs unheard of in a portable, or even many home systems. Delivering detailed, transparent, dynamic, some say even a tube amp like sound.

The biggest of all Thodio amps is guaranteed to breathe life in to any backyard or beach party. The XC far exceeds the sound/size paradigm, as do all Thodio speakers. This wireless speaker will leave a lasting impression, both the rich and powerful sound and it's impeccable finish.

Connect Everything, Experience everything

The Best Bluetooth Receiver

NEW: REMASTERED - The classic Thodio sound just got even better.

Calmer mids, deeper bass, more transparent and layered. Now also much louder, up to 114dB instead of 108dB previously which is 4x more power and 52% louder.

The new sound profile takes the iBox XC to the next level, a speaker you can't stop listening to.

7 EQUALIZER PRESETS - Select the perfect sound for your music or setting, indoors, outdoors etc.

AUTOPLAY - When turning the speaker on, it automatically connects and starts playing the music/content on your device. The only on the market (no other Bluetooth speaker has this functionality). This feature can also be turned off.

RECONNECTED - Automatically reconnects and plays. Hassle free experience, your device automatically connects and music is always playing whenever you get near your Thodio after going out of range, even when you come back the next day.

Connect 2 Thodio speakers wirelessly in stereo with TWS with the standard Bluetooth option. Each individual iBox XC comes with stereo sound however when using 2 XC speakers, this feature allows you to double the power and spread the stereo image for an even more immersive experience.

Available on request, Party mode: connect up to 100 speakers and play music simultaneously on all ammo can speakers for if you really need to dominate a situation.

This is the best and most convenient Bluetooth connection available on the market today. This is a great wireless connection recommended for smooth overall and outdoor use.

Highly recommended to get the most out of your XC in a wifi zone like your home + garden or office. Our Wifi module works with Spotify and Tidal Connect which means your A-BOX will stream straight from your modem while your phone or any other device in your network acts like a remote control. Saving energy and the "remote" does not have to stay close. The music will just keep on playing even when out of reach.

Stream all your online and offline music with a rock solid wireless connection. Works with your computer/smartphone/online music service/NAS/UPNP Network in High Resolution quality. Play from one, two (Wireless Stereo) or multiple (Multi Room) Thodio iBox or A-BOX speakers.

More questions about Thodio speakers

Where can I hear or experience a Thodio?

We currently ship orders to the customer directly and we aren't working with resellers. However, we do maintain a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back, so you can try a Thodio risk free.

How loud are Thodio speakers?

So loud, you can lead a revolution with 3000+ people (later on in the video it gets even louder!)

Are Thodio speakers waterproof?

The A-BOX can handle rain and splashes, and the iBox Mini and iBox XC can handle that too after being treated with linseed oil 3 times. It takes about 10 minutes to oil an iBox; more details are in the owner's guide. We have shipped thousands of units since 2005 and never had any issue or damage caused by water.

Which type of bamboo sounds best?

We craft our speakers out of the best sounding material available. The high density bamboo gives you a cleaner sound than the side pressed bamboo we offer, because of the mass added to the material by the compression process, which makes it a bit heavier and more inert. It also takes a smoother finish. However, the side pressed bamboo box still sounds better than anything else available on the market: nobody else uses 3/4 inch (18mm) thick, solid materials to produce their portable speakers.

Are Thodio products only compatible with Apple products?

All Thodio products work with basically anything with an audio output or, if you opt for the Bluetooth or WiFi receiver, anything with a Bluetooth or WiFi connection: smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers etc. The WiFi app is available for iOS and Android.

Can I travel with the A-BOX?

Yes you can, we took it on a plane many times all over the world. We do recommend packing it in a bag and removing the explosives sticker (new stickers can be ordered from us; the latest model comes with a caution sticker to make it more travel friendly).

Is the 3.5mm AUX input included when I choose one or more of the other options?

All Thodio products come with the standard 3.5mm AUX input connector, including a 24 inch (60cm) high quality gold plated 3.5mm to 3.5mm minijack cable.

Can I charge the A-BOX or iBox Mini/XC in my car?

With a simple inverter of less than 100 watts you can plug in your charger and charge your Thodio in the car.

Can I leave the charger connected to the speaker?

All Thodio products come with an automatic battery charger which detects when the battery is full and stops charging, so it can be used as a permanent power supply for your Thodio. The batteries do like to have their electrons moving now and then, so we recommend using your Thodio disconnected from the charger at least once a month.

What do I get when I don't select any options?

You get a spectacular piece of Thodio craftsmanship: the speaker system with the standard battery pack, a minijack AUX input with a cable to connect your audio source, and the automatic battery charger which doubles as a permanent power supply. Bluetooth, WiFi, guitar input, USB charge ports and the longer lasting battery packs are optional.
