Drive revolve reviews11/6/2023 A supercharged S2, badged SC, landed in 2008 with 219bhp. Other changes included the fitting, as standard, of ProBax seats, LED rear lights and Yokohama AD07 tyres (a big improvement on the harder Bridgestone Potenzas originally fitted). The new entry-level model, the Elise S, was now powered by a 134bhp 1.8-litre Toyota unit. Two years later, in 2006, came a key event in the S2’s life: the demise of the K-series engine. It has a revised version of the S1’s chassis but the body is made from an inferior injection-moulded glassfibre composite that unfortunately holds water like a sponge. Purists believe the back-to-basics S1 is the original and best but the S2 is easier to live with and to drive thanks to its more compliant Bilstein suspension, larger wheels, easier roof mechanism and lower sills. It was in production from 2000 until 2010, when the S3, essentially a facelifted S2, was launched. The American giant agreed to help on the understanding that it would get its own branded version of the model, which it called the VX220. Lotus needed some serious cash to bring it up to spec and, cap in hand, approached General Motors. The model transformed Lotus’s fortunes but, by 2000, European crash regs had caught up with it. That said, if you place it at the center of the room, the speaker lacks some bass response – though that can be remedied by placing the speaker near walls to help reflect sound and increase the bass response.The Lotus Elise first appeared in 1996 and revolutionised small sports car design with its lightweight extruded aluminium chassis and composite body. In terms of volume, the SoundLink Revolve does a great job of pumping music loudly in all directions. This is great for parties, for example, so everyone can have the same listening experience no matter where they’re sitting. With it, you can move around and experience the same sound wherever you are. The biggest reason go to with the Bose SoundLink Revolve over one of its flat-faced rivals is if you want omni-directional sound. Mids and trebles are handled by a downward facing transducer, which uses a deflector plate to distribute sound equally in all directions.īose claims that this driver configuration allows the speaker to create a full 360-degrees of sound around the speaker, and without any audio blindspots. On the inside the Revolve features a dual passive radiator setup running up the sides of the speaker to fill out the lower end of the audio spectrum. You have the option of using the speakers in stereo or mono, depending if they're in the same room or not. Pairing for this feature can be done on the device itself, but it's more convenient to use the Bose app. While it might seem odd to have a tripod mount, it offers more flexibility for getting the Revolve perfectly positioned in your home.īose also lets you pair two Revolve speakers to use for stereo or amplification, a neat feature that's becoming more and more common these days. This will work up to a range of 10m. It’s disappointing that Bose didn’t throw in the $30 (£19.95) charging dock for free like it does with the slightly cheaper SoundLink Mini II, which costs $180 (£170, AU$300). On the bottom of the speaker you’ll find four pins for an optional charging dock and a threaded tripod mount. The microphone on the Bose SoundLink Revolve is located on top of the speaker, so it's able to hear your voice from any direction. The SoundLink revolve works great as a speakerphone for taking calls – something lacking on one of this speaker's well-regarded contemporaries, the UE Wonderboom. Bose’s multifunction button controls everything from music playback to activating voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant. On top of the Revolve speaker you’ll find buttons for controlling every feature of the unit, including volume, playback, Bluetooth 4.0, aux and power. The Bose SoundLink Revolve feels extremely well made, and should put up with being tossed in a bag with keys and knick knacks (for example). It features a strong aluminum housing which comes in either silver or black and features a rubberized base and buttons. The Revolve takes the design of its predecessor the SoundLink Mini II and stretches it into a cylindrical shape that slightly resembles the Dalek robots from Dr.
