Sonoro Launches VIBES L and VIBES XL Outdoor Speakers with Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast

The acoustic topology also hints at careful DSP voicing rather than brute-force loudness. By combining multiple full-range radiators with a dedicated low-frequency section, Sonoro appears to be chasing coherent midband reproduction and controlled bass coupling, instead of the scooped, bass-forward tuning common in outdoor designs. The larger model’s expanded driver array should theoretically offer better horizontal dispersion and lower intermodulation at higher SPLs, which matters more in open-air environments than sheer wattage. Audiophile forums tend to scrutinize such designs for phase consistency and crossover execution, and here the promise lies in how Sonoro balances scale with tonal discipline.

Equally telling are the omissions and integrations. A USB‑C port reserved strictly for service underscores that VIBES is conceived as a wireless-first node, not a digital hub. Control via app and onboard buttons suggests parallel user paths, but the real ecosystem play is compatibility with Sonoro’s own components, effectively allowing VIBES to function as an extension of a broader domestic audio setup. IPX4 protection and physical carry handles reinforce its outdoor brief, yet they also impose constraints on cabinet damping and resonance control—areas where Sonoro’s HiFi heritage will be quietly judged by listeners who expect more than background sound, even on the patio.
