Milwaukee M12 Wireless Jobsite Speaker Preview
Milwaukee M12 Wireless Jobsite Speaker Preview
Today Milwaukee announced another entry into the audio category. This one coming just 11 months after the introduction of the first charging radio with bluetooth audio connectivity and this time around it’s in the form of a much simpler speaker. Gone are the charger components and tuner modules but that leaves room for a very small and compact form factor and dead simple user interface. In addition, a usb charging port is also included that puts out 2.1 amps to charge devices faster. It’s the same port that has been starting to show up on some of Milwaukee’s newest lighting products. We can’t wait to get our hands on this thing. Stay tuned for a review early in 2015.

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver disruptive innovation with the introduction of the M12™ Wireless Jobsite Speaker (2592-20), the smallest and most portable offering in the Milwaukee® sound family. Big speaker sound with the durability users have come to expect from Milwaukee®, the M12™ Wireless Jobsite Speaker uses Bluetooth® Technology to pair with portable electronic devices and stream music from up to 30ft away.
“Milwaukee® continues to raise the bar when it comes to providing tough, portable sound while leveraging the best technology on the jobsite,” said Tom Simeone, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “Designed from the ground up with Bluetooth® capability to give users compact and portable sound, Milwaukee’s smallest speaker can also withstand tough conditions across usage environments including drops, water, and debris, without sacrificing sound quality.”
The M12™ Jobsite Speaker comes equipped with a 2” premium speaker and an integrated bass port for loud, clear and responsive sound at all volumes. Standing less than 6” tall, 4” wide and weighing less than 2 pounds, the speaker can be transported nearly anywhere and fits in the tightest and most compact work areas. An integrated loop on the back of the product allows for easy hanging and transport. Backed by legendary Milwaukee® durability, a reinforced metal speaker grill and rugged overmold protect internal components from weather and abusive job site conditions.
Additional features include an integrated 2.1 Amp USB port for rapid charging of most portable electronic devices and a 3.5mm Aux-In port (cable not included). Powered by Milwaukee’s revolutionary M12™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery, the M12™ Jobsite Speaker can stream music for up to 25 hours on one charge and is compatible with the entire M12™ System.
