Introducing the IT'S REAL Bluetooth Speaker + Cassette Player Combo Transparent Edition

NINM Lab proudly presents the newest addition to the IT'S REAL Bluetooth Speaker + Cassette Player Combo series - the Transparent Edition! This remarkable device combines the best of both worlds by seamlessly blending the physical and digital realms of music, offering a unique and captivating experience - Reel to Real.

Since its launch in 2022, the IT'S REAL Bluetooth Speaker + Cassette Player Combo has quickly become a favourite among music enthusiasts. However, the new IT'S REAL Transparent Edition truly stands out with its stunning transparent body design. Not only does it add a visually appealing element to the combination of a cassette player and Bluetooth speaker, but it also allows users to witness the internal operation principles of the device, enhancing the overall music-playing experience.

With three versatile playing options, users are free to combine or separate the cassette player and Bluetooth speaker as they wish. The transparent cover design and mechanical operation provide a visually striking and distinctive taste of music.

Moreover, the REAL TAPE Bluetooth Music Transmitter Cassette Tape can be utilized with other portable cassette players (Boombox) as well, transforming old portable cassette players into modern Bluetooth speakers.

Experience the perfect harmony between nostalgia and innovation with the IT'S REAL Transparent Edition - where music transcends time and technology.

 

The deconstructed aesthetic design integrates the cassette player, speaker, and bluetooth music transmitter tape into an efficient combo

 

1 - Bluetooth Speaker

Upon the insertion of the REAL TAPE Bluetooth cassette tape and the connection to a mobile phone, IT'S REAL instantly becomes a speaker that can play digital music. With it, you can enjoy the process where digital music is played the same way as physical records.

2- The REAL TAPE Bluetooth Music Transmitter Tape is compatible with different boomboxes

The REAL TAPE bluetooth 5.0 music transmitter tape can also be used independently with cassette players with different built-in speakers, including the audio equipment of an antique car. Just turn on the equipment and connect it to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, and it will play music. By doing so, your traditional cassette player is turned into a bluetooth speaker.

3 - A cassette player with a built-in speaker

The IT'S REAL cassette player can vertically demonstrate your favourite cassette tapes. Just insert a traditional cassette tape into the player, and you can watch it rotating while enjoying your favourite music. The IT'S REAL cassette player is like a cassette tape showcase.

 

The transparent top cover enables you to see the working details of the player

It's been our pursuit to re-present the design of physical records in our products since the IT'S OK collection. Except for keeping the transparent design, we have changed the horizontal design of the desktop cassette recorder into the vertical design for IT'S REAL so that the cassette can be vertically shown when it is rotating. You can see your favourite cassette or REAL TAPE rotating from the front and how the clockwork and motor work from the back. Such a design fully demonstrates the mechanical structure of the cassette player.

 

Light, small, but more stable in performance

Unlike the portable IT'S OK collection, IT'S REAL is based on the design of traditional desktop cassette recorders. Desktop cassette recorders have bigger clockwork and motors than portable cassette players, so they are more stable in performance. With the dimensions 12 × 13 × 11.5 cm, IT'S REAL takes up less space compared with the horizontally designed desktop cassette recorder. It can perfectly fit into your life and can be placed anywhere in your home. Besides, with the built-in stereo speakers with subwoofer, you can enjoy a rich and natural sound effect.

 

The REAL TAPE bluetooth 5.0 music transmitter tape turns your boombox into a Bluetooth speaker

As one of the accessories of IT'S REAL Bluetooth Cassette Player Combo, REAL TAPE is inspired by the classic appearance of reel-to-reel tape. Besides, its gears are not just for decoration. They can rotate like normal cassettes. We have particularly applied the cassette appearance design to the Bluetooth transmission part so as to create a cassette-style experience for users when they listen to digital music at home. Connect REAL TAPE to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, put REAL TAPE into the IT'S REAL player or any other cassette player with a speaker, press "Play", and you can play the music or messages on your mobile phone as you like.

    Q:IT’S REAL 及  REAL TAPE 是如何供電?
    IT’S REAL Cassette Player 並沒有內置電池,供電的方法有以下 2 種:

    1) 以 4 粒 AA 電池供電
    2) 在沒有 AA 電池的情況下,以 USB-C 供電(非充電)

    如果你是使用 AA 充電池,你亦可以透過 IT’S REAL Cassette Player 的 USB-C 口為AA 充電池直接充電。***只可以為充電池充電***

    REAL TAPE 內置鋰電池,備有 USB-C 充電接口,你可以以 USB-C 為 REAL TAPE 充電。

    Q: How are IT'S REAL and REAL TAPE powered?

    IT'S REAL Cassette Player does not have built-in batteries, and there are two ways to supply power:

    1. Four AA batteries
    2. USB-C (not charging) if you have no AA batteries

    In case of AA rechargeable batteries, you may directly charge AA rechargeable batteries through the USB-C port on IT’S REAL Cassette Player. *** can only charge rechargeable batteries ***

    REAL TAPE has built-in lithium batteries and a USB-C charging port. You can charge REAL TAPE through the USB-C.

    Q:REAL TAPE 可以用在什麼卡帶機?
    A:REAL TAPE 的尺寸跟普通卡帶一樣,可以放進不同的卡帶機。我們建議在 Boombox 及大型帶揚聲器的卡帶機上使用,並不建議在便攜式卡帶機中使用 REAL TAPE 。

    因為我們沒法確保舊式的卡帶機狀態,所以我們沒法保證 REAL TAPE 能在所有(特別是二手)的 Boombox 及大型帶揚聲器的卡帶機上都能以最佳狀態播放。

    由於舊式的卡帶機狀態不一,如果 REAL TAPE 未能在卡帶機中轉動,你可以:
    1) 使用快進(Fast Forward) 15 秒,令 REAL TAPE 的齒輪順暢後,再按 PLAY
    2) 如果仍然未能轉動,你仍可以使用 REAL TAPE ,只需按下 PLAY + PAUSE。在 REAL TAPE 不轉動的情況下,你亦能繼續聽到音樂。

    Q: What are the cassette players for REAL TAPE?

    A: REAL TAPE is the same as ordinary cassettes in size, and it can be put into different cassette players. We recommend using Boombox and large cassette players with speakers rather than portable cassette players.

    Since we are not sure of the condition of old cassette players, it is beyond our ability to warrant that REAL TAPE can be played under optimal conditions on all (especially second-hand) Boombox and large cassette players with speakers.

    Since the condition of old cassette players vary, if REAL TAPE fails to spin in the cassette players, you can:

    1. Use Fast Forward 15 seconds to make REAL TAPE gears run smoothly, then press PLAY
    2. If it once again fails to spin, you can still use REAL TAPE by pressing PLAY + PAUSE. Then you can continue to hear music without spinning REAL TAPE.

    Q:REAL TAPE 的藍牙兼容什麼設備?
    A:REAL TAPE 是備有 Bluetooth 5.0 接收功能,只要有藍牙功能的傳送設備都能連接 ,如一般的手機、平板及電腦。有些備有藍牙傳送功能的黑膠盤等,也能連接 REAL TAPE。

    Q: What devices is REAL TAPE's Bluetooth compatible with?

    A: REAL TAPE is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, so all transmission devices with the Bluetooth function can be connected to it, such as general cell phones, tablets, and computers. Some vinyl discs that support Bluetooth transmission can also be connected to REAL TAPE.

    -

    Q: 當配合 REAL TAPE 使用時,如何達到最佳效果?

    A: 由於每台設備的音量輸出有異,我們建議你將設備的音量設定為不多於 70-80% ,然後再使用 IT’S REAL 的音量控制輪調整至適合的音量。

    Q: What is the best setting when using it as a bluetooth speaker?

    A: Since every device’s volume output varies, maximum volume setting of your device should be below 80%, and adjust the Volume Control Knob (7) to your preferred sound level.
