CMF recently became its own company in India, divesting from Nothing. The company is now moving quickly with a new product launch that looks like a fresh carton of milk.
This morning (Oct. 12), CMF announced its first wave of speakers: the Speaker S and Speaker M. These speakers take inspiration from classic cartons of milk, but they’re packed full of sound for any occasion. CMF says it went with a design that was « something unique » and fit its brand. The Speaker S looks like the milk cartons you’d get in school for lunch. It features a custom-tuned 45 mm driver in a short form factor.
CMF states it worked to enhance the lower frequencies on the Speaker S to achieve « deeper, more resonant bass. » What’s more, the Speaker S is aimed at portability since it’s a bit smaller than the Speaker M. If you have two of the same model (Speaker S, in this case), CMF says users can turn them into « dedicated left and right channels » with Stereo Mode. Users can fill an area with more sound, as if they were using a standard sound system.
If you’re sticking with one speaker, CMF’s Wide Soundstage brings more audio depth to that solo device. Adaptive Tuning handles the speaker’s EQ; however, users can create custom EQs using the Nothing X app.
Party Mode leans on Android’s Auracast to sync multiple speakers. CMF states this will work with its speakers and devices from other companies.
The CMF Speaker S features 18 hours of audio playback « at 50% volume with Ultra Bass on. » A quick 10-minute charge reportedly delivers one hour of audio. Speaker S supports Tap to Pair, Bluetooth 6.0, and USB-C lossless audio.
The CMF Speaker S is available in white, dark grey, orange, and turquoise. Consumers can purchase the speaker for $59.
Speaker M
The CMF Speaker M retains many of the same features as the Speaker S. Consumers will find Ultra Bass, offering « controlled low-end impact for playlists that need extra weight. » This feature toggles on and off, letting users fine-tune their audio experience at a moment’s notice. The Speaker M also provides Party Mode, Stereo Mode, Wide Soundstage, Adaptive Tuning, and Custom EQs.
However, the primary difference lies in its design. The Speaker M is taller, with a dedicated subwoofer and tweeter. CMF wanted to up the ante with the Speaker M’s audio capabilities over the Speaker S. The post states the Speaker M pushes its clarity and bass for a « balanced » experience when broadcasting in larger rooms.
The Speaker M supports USB-C lossless audio, Tap to Pair, Bluetooth 6.0, Dual Device connection, and more. Its battery will support 18 hours of audio at 50% volume with Ultra Bass enabled, similar to the Speaker S.
Consumers can pick up the CMF Speaker M today (Oct. 12) in white, dark grey, orange, and turquoise for $109.
While the CMF Speaker S and Speaker M may look like completed products, the company says consumers can change their designs. CMF states users can take off the Speaker S and Speaker M’s volume knobs and panels and switch them out. You can « mix and match, » or you could 3D print your own designs.
CMF has provided users with the STL files required to begin 3D printing.
