Proper Audio - PA1: Wall Mountable Speaker
A Beautiful, Wall Mountable Bluetooth Speaker.
Clear & Powerful Room Filling Sound for the Sonically Inclined.
A beautifully crafted, wall mountable speaker, packing full range, powerful and well balanced audio technology.
The PA1 is a beautiful Aluminum Bluetooth speaker, designed for what we believe to be most important: usability, great sound output and quality materials.
When designing PA1 we made the early decision to focus on creating a product that had unique, bold visual presence, and produced sound to match. The powerful drivers housed within PA1, combined with its mountability, delivers an experience unlike any other and ensures you get the most out of your music.
We decided to keep PA1 wired to avoid sacrificing power or sound quality, as is necessary with portable battery-powered speakers. This wiring allows us to power larger drivers, providing you with a fuller, well balanced and incredibly rich audio experience.
PA1 connects wirelessly to any Bluetooth enabled device. We've selected a premium Bluetooth module ensuring clear, consistent pairing and high quality audio streaming. PA1 also remembers up to 5 devices and automatically pairs when in range, so you'll only ever need to physically pair the first time you turn it on.
On, Off, and Pairing are all intuitive and within reach - no need to compete with multiple buttons or switches.
Not only can PA1 be installed in under a minute, its design is flexible, PA1 can be easily moved with a simple 'turn and click' motion to any room/space that you have a Wall Mount installed. Now you have the flexibility to move your music as you move around the house, whilst allowing it to work flawlessly as a permanently installed speaker. By leveraging our universal Wallee™ 'X-Lock', Mount Disks and stands, we're able to offer the best of both worlds.
3 years ago we developed our 'X-Lock' modular mounting system, dubbed "Wallee™", to enable mounting your iPad and iPhone across a range of mounts and stands. PA1 is designed around the same system, and looks great when used in conjuction with other components from our best selling range of Wall and Table Stands.
Mount your iPad alongside PA1 and you've got a complete, powerful entertainment hub. The modern day jukebox perfect for entertaining. iOS devices make for beautiful, capable media centres. PA1 is designed to work in harmony alongside your iPad or iPhone.
Interchangeable fabric covers allow you to personalise the aesthetic to best match your environment. Covers will initially be offered in Black and White.
Machined Aluminum Unibody construction for unrivaled rigidity, with a fine bead blast, anodized finish.
Our driver arrangement provides full stereo sound through 3 drivers. 1 tweeter for clear highs, and two large stereo drivers for deep, warm mids and lows.

We’ve spent the last 10 months developing this wonderful product focusing on everything from sound quality, use case scenarios, modularity, Bluetooth connectivity and aesthetics. After 6 exhaustive rounds of prototyping, and months of rigorous testing, we believe we are ready for production. Here is our anticipated schedule..
We have partnered with Shipwire to handle warehousing, logistics and the final leg of distribution and shipping. They have successfully shipped our products to customers world-wide for the last 2 years, and have plenty of experience handling Kickstarter product delivery.
We're obsessed with designing for people, and feel there's no better way to do that then to allow the kickstarter community and existing customers to participate in making this exciting project come to life.

Risks and challengesLearn about accountability on Kickstarter
This is our second Kickstarter campaign, and we know all too well that every
pre-production product has inherent risks and challenges, some of them unforeseen.
pre-production product has inherent risks and challenges, some of them unforeseen.
We've been developing and manufacturing consumer products for close to 3 years and have a deep understand of the entire process. We consider our manufacturing experience to be one of our greatest strengths at Studio Proper. Through selling our current range of products, we have very strong existing manufacturing relationships.
We've spent the last year working hard vetting factories, coordinating assembly of the final product, and cultivating positive, personal relationships with our suppliers (this is really important in China!). We've finalised the product design focusing on manufacturability, developed working prototypes, and we have structured QC for every unit that comes off the production line. We've also completed detailed site inspections for the manufacturers that we've selected.
We've learned an immense amount along the way, and we've taken pre-emptive steps that we hope will mean there are no surprises along the way. We've invested a lot of focus pre-Kickstarter, to get to a point where we're confident the product is proven and manufacturable with minimal alterations.
That said, producing anything has challenges. International holidays can often slow down production time and there's always the chance for unforeseen issues, but we're confident that once we begin manufacturing with the funds this campaign raises, we've done the hard work upfront to make sure everything goes smoothly. Past that, we've created a supply chain that can scale and distribute effectively.
Our 4 strict promises to our backers are:
1. BE TRANSPARENT AT ALL TIMES
2. COMMUNICATE REGULARLY AND IN DETAIL
3. INCLUDE BACKERS IN THE PROCESS
4. INCLUDE BACKERS IN ANY DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE
We are very proud of this product, and very dedicated to bringing it to you. Let's make this happen!
