Automatic charging in a floating form from the woofer station, suitable for outdoor use.

LG Electronics is launching the 'LG Levitating Speaker (Model Name: PJ9)' in Korea, which floats in the air and plays music in all directions (360 degrees).

This product consists of an oval-shaped Bluetooth speaker and a cylindrical woofer station. The speaker's exterior features a diagonal grille modeled after an aircraft turbine engine. It comes in a matte white color. The woofer station enhances mid-low frequencies, helping the speaker produce a rich sound.

When the user presses the levitation button on the woofer station, the speaker slowly rises. This is magnetic levitation technology that utilizes the property of magnets repelling each other with like poles.

If the battery runs out while the speaker is in operation, it automatically descends to the woofer station to begin charging. With a single charge, the battery lasts up to 10 hours, making it suitable for outdoor use.

The top speaker meets the IPX7 waterproof rating. IPX7 is a rating that allows it to withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. Users can enjoy music without worry, even in environments where water may splash.

The shipping price of the 'LG Levitation Speaker' is 369,000 won, and it can be purchased at LG Electronics Best Shops nationwide and online shopping malls.

Son Dae-gi, Head of LG Electronics Korea HE Marketing FD, emphasized, “We will create a sensation in the Bluetooth speaker market with our eye-catching design.”
