LG’s new Bluetooth speaker tower will get everyone in a dancing mood

A Bluetooth speaker system with a stylish vertical design and big sounds and good bass for enjoying music at home or at parties, the LG Sound Tower FJ1 comes with a wooden stand and a bass port located near the floor. Looking sleek in black, the speaker tower is about 960 millimetres tall and, it must be said, adds a certain panache to a room.
Two woofers flank the tweeters inside while the subwoofer is hidden on the side near the bass port at the bottom.
In another useful design component, the FJ1 has a slot on its top for placing your smartphone that is Bluetooth-linked to the speaker. Since you can recharge your smartphone with a USB port provided at its right side, the provided channel is very useful for placing your phone when you are recharging it.

 

Perfect for partying


Apart from streaming music from your smartphone or tablet computer via Bluetooth, you can also listen to FM stereo and play music files from your USB drive on the FJ1. It comes with a 3.5mm stereo jackin and AUXin for connecting to the selected music source, such as a portable MP3 player or a CD player.
The tuner function supports 87.5 to 108.0 MHz as well as alarm and sleep functions, allowing you to use it to wake you up in the morning with an FM broadcast and to turn itself off after you fall asleep at night.

 

Perfect for partying


The FJ1 is very loud as it has 100 watts of output power – 25 watts for stereo channels and 50 watts for the sub woofer.
Each of the music channels uses one 1.5-inch tweeter and one 4-inch woofer. The system uses one 5.25-inch subwoofer with bass port design to enhance the bass output.
The speaker system is good for party and dance music as its midrange and high sounds are outstanding and the bass level is good though not floor shaking one.
The FJ1 can be connected to two Bluetooth devices at once so you and your friends can take turns controlling it during a party without one of you disconnecting first. 

 

Perfect for partying


The FJ1 comes with six equaliser settings of Standard, Pop, Classic, Rock, Jazz, and Bass Blast based on music taste. The choice of your EQ setting is displayed on its LED panel.
I tested the system by playing dance and EDM streamed from my JOOX account on my smartphone along with the music files stored on my USB. It had no problem supporting my choice of folder, and even briefly displayed the name of the folder its the LED panel. 
The remote control made it intuitive to operate the speaker system too.
LG Sound Tower FJ1 has a suggested retail price of Bt5,990.
