High-Capacity Fast Charge Survival Radio

The MB290 features a 4500mAh battery providing long, dynamic battery life. This means that use of the Bluetooth will conserve battery (Lasting up to 60 hours of playback) while using the aerial and Radio functions will use more (Lasting up to 40 Hours of Playback). This allows you to conserve battery when you need it.

3 Charging Methods:

Solar Power - The Solar Panels on the top of the device passively generate a constant flow of electricity. Please ensure you fully charge the device with the power cable first, before using solar over time to maintain/restore smaller amounts of charge

Hand Crank Dynamo - The foldable crank stores neatly along the side of the wind up radio speaker and can be deployed at will. Turn the handle to generate kinetic electricity and give a burst of energy to the device in emergencies or to keep the music going

Rechargeable Integrated Battery - The internal battery can also be charged by a power cable, included. The USB-C connection is fast, efficient and makes charging accessible via any powered USB port!

Camping Power Bank

Once the MB290 is charged via your chosen method, you can use the powered USB port to charge phones, tablets, electric stoves and more around the campsite. The USB port is universally accessible to any charging cable (USB 2.0, 3.0).

Wind-Up Torch with 3 Brightness Settings

The MB290 Radio and Speaker has an in-built Torch of 3 Powerful LED Bulbs in one end. This adds a directional, strong light that is adjustable. Change between full power (3 Bulbs), Medium (2 Bulbs) and Low (1 Bulb) so you can search the camp for a tent peg coming loose at night, start the breakfast fire before sunrise or have a small glow in your tent as a night light.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The MB290 features Bluetooth connection to use the high-quality 40mm drivers as a wireless speaker. Connect a phone, tablet, laptop and more to play your own music through the speaker up to 10 meters away. Pack up or set up a site without disconnecting, and enjoy whatever audio you choose. The speaker is versatile, able to play music well anywhere you might take it.

Bluetooth 5.0 is twice as fast as 4.2 and with a higher capacity for high-fidelity music. Don’t waste time on hard-to-use equipment, connect any Bluetooth-Enabled output to the speaker at will.

DAB, DAB+ and FM Radio

The attached telescopic extendable aerial picks up DAB and DAB+ digital radio as well as FM stations as you choose. Scan for channels on either network and move between registered stations easily. Save and pre-set channels to recall later, saving you time and making switching between two stations (Music, News, Weather, Talk Shows etc) simple.

AUX OUT Port for Bluetooth or Radio

Listen to your music publicly with the speaker, or privately through wired earphones/headphones via the 3.5mm audio OUT port. Works with radio or your own music.

Auto-Off Function

The sleep function enables a 15, 30 or 60-minute auto-sleep timer to stop music after you've fallen asleep or to use as a reminder.

Light and Small - Perfect for Bikepacking

The Radio is compact and easily carriable in just one hand, or attached via the lanyard strap to a belt or jacket, or bike! Weighing only 300 Grams and the longest edge being just 15cm ensures the MB290 is workable, reliable and accessible. Conquer on and off-road while using this Bikepacking radio.

The MB290 is a constant companion for music, news, weather, light source, and charging devices that don’t weigh you down. Stay on track and make good progress every day as you stay connected and entertained no matter where you are.
