hello and welcome today I wanted to show you the latest batch of laboratory kurz this is the new model of the elaborate on zip and this is the completely new lebreton deep mini the greatest feature about these speakers is that they can form a kind of multi-room system lebreton calls this sound spaces or you can use them as usual portable bluetooth speakers as both have a better insight but they are not water resistant or waterproof so you should be careful if taking them outdoors I will turn them on immediately so that we will see and hear when they become responsive because it takes a little bit of time and as always I will be using my binaural microphones and a head came to give you to give you a kind of first-person view and first-person sound so that we hear how both compare I also thought we will compare the librarians if mini against the river s as both cost exactly the same they cost around 250 and I thought about comparing the big tip with the fugu XL as these cost around 300 so now you saw how long it takes the problem is even outside if you want to use them as simple Bluetooth speakers you always need to wait this time until they login or I don't know until they start up I will of course want to show you the Leviton app how to set them up and so on so yeah let's have a listen both are already connected to my network so when I start the app they will appear as two separate speakers I will show you how to link them but first let's have a look inside the settings here you see the playback control Wi-Fi signal the battery each speaker also comes with own voicings and room settings but they don't change really much you cannot change the sound completely these are only nuances and what's also nice is that each speaker has five user selectable presets for web radio we can start one this takes a little bit of time here and we can have a listen to a radio station and every speaker has its own presets so you can you can if you have three four speakers you will have more than five presets but maybe you see that the volume control although it shows steps in between it always jumps every ten steps below I will play something else from my hard disk maybe you will yeah this is also quite an annoying every time you restart the app it has to well reset itself or something I don't know and you see when I control the volume up it only jumped every 10 steps so in reality the zip and seed mini only has 10 volume steps of course I can also control independently from my iPad but anyhow it's a bit annoying is either one step is too low the other one is already too loud but now let's try connecting both this is pretty simple just drag one at the other and they are connected what we can do is control volume separately for both but as you can see both still play left and right so you have to go inside here yeah it's a bit I don't know like a labyrinth or something we can say for the zip to play the right channel while the seed mini should play the left one so and now if we control if we control volume for both both are becoming louder or softer but of course I can I can make this one software still they are a bit in an imbalance volume-wise one becomes always quicker in this case both are different speakers but I think if you have to tip Mini or Tootsie this should be okay this case it's always a bit either the one is louder or the other one is softer and linking them is also pretty easy but there is one problem if I unlink them immediately from here with one playing the left the other one directional the seed mini will continue playing the left channel well to prove this I will start the typical song from Pink Floyd and let's have a listen yeah half is missing so the problem is you have to make it you have to make them again and make the seed mini play left and right again this is really now it's playing finally place the whole signal yeah I'm not quite satisfied with VF sometimes it doesn't quite work or it shows your stuff that's simply not present this is a new song let's get sure that really both play left and right yeah they do this one and the seed mini also yeah both play for them so let's and unlink them again sorry this is a bit confusing to unlink them you simply drag it like that you can also manually link them with the button also here are some presets the the radio button presets are available through the heart here if I press it a radio station song should start yeah or another one okay I'm switching between different stations next I would like to show you how both speakers compare sound wise I prepared four different tracks and acoustic jazz track a new soul track from soul persona a rock track and a house track we will use the same tracks to compare the seep mini to the revised and the big zip to their footwork cell I'm starting with the zip mini first so let's have a listen now what you maybe notice is that the treble of the big tip sounds a bit strange it seems a bit subdued not as clear as that from the tip Minnie of course both because have 360 degree sound which really works well much better than that what ultimate es is trying to sell your as 360 degree with simple to drivers facing the sides but this really works well here there are some sweet spots but it's still pretty nice I think again the big tip yet what I don't like is that the treble is simply a little bit yeah too soft not as clear as I would have liked it over despite being a mono speaker I think the tip mini sounds broader and more open than the big tip which is a stereo speaker but well you don't get any kind of stereo separation again big tip let's try another trick you can maybe hear that that bass is fuller deeper slightly deeper from the big tip but overall I prefer the sound of the tip meaning it's much you're a much more open yeah it sounds a bit muffled what we can fry is changing the sound settings of the big tip as it starts again every time he looks for the Sun spaces here this let's try another voicing is he listening but the difference is rock the house boost trade levitate let's try the room settings as well for example through our should usually post travel more but is still too soft I will switch again for this evening let's try again and up okay Rock Creek I will increase volume for maximum on both this was the wrong side so this is XML of its agreement separately slightly louder but both are not very large let's try the prospect maximum volume photo nice thing is that both do not destroyed at all even at maximum volume more compression but they are not very loud you can hear that the base of their big tip reaches deter is more powerful you know now let's try the same with the lab returns ik mini and the reverse yeah it sounds deputy Kira we can try turning on surround on the revise this broadens up this sound more you let's try sulpice on again now there it is the table so treat me like a bitch stop no one can and maybe without surround me it was a destiny Lions great home us to be under we go I speak to me let's try the rock trick and I will start increasing volume to maximum again by the house track still put on from a leprechaun's it mini everybody's it starts reducing base slightly but still no distortion and just wish but Cellini manages more basics yes start sunning a little bit lost in the against exceed minimum it's a small speaker so last but not least the big LIBOR tones if against the fool Excel both are 360 degrees speakers by the way let's start again with the jazz track yeah I think you can hear that the full Excel still sounds more open with a broader soundstage this son somehow boxy trapped inside the speaker let's try the track from soul persona we are better mates the basis I think even deeper and not as boosted another table me yeah the mall it has some box character me wondering what to do to me let's try the rock trick and I will stop increasing volume for maximum you you never forward cell is definitely daughter try the house nothing some porridge yeah I hope this video was helpful I definitely prefer the laboratory mini over the lab returned zip although The Fool Excel sounds definitely better than both of them I think the Riva s despite being well quite a bit smaller can compete pretty well with the small mini but the zip mini R is I think quite a bit better still a mono speaker so you would need to for real stereo yeah thanks for watching and we will see us in the next video have a nice time and bye bye
