Portable, Wireless, Battery-Powered Professional Audio Speaker Now Shipping Worldwide
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 12, 2026 – Electrotec Audio (www.electrotecaudio.com) captured Best in Show at the recent 2026 NAMM Show held in Anaheim, Calif., for its STAGE ONE wireless portable speaker and STAGE ONE XB wireless subwoofer, marking a major breakthrough in battery-powered professional audio.
“It was a huge surprise, but it was also clear to me that NAMM was ready for something genuinely different,” said Rikki Farr, Co-Founder, CEO, and Co-Designer of Electrotec Audio. “Thousands of people came for instruments, PAs, microphones…every part of music and how it’s transmitted. What set STAGE ONE apart was that nobody else could deliver this level of sound quality, then pick it up, put it in the trunk of a car or small van, and go play perfectly. At moderate levels you can play for more than 100 hours. When you need full power, it delivers concert-level performance without distortion. People gathered, DJs came down, and everyone asked the same thing…‘When can we buy it?’ We knew we were breaking boundaries, but the response has been phenomenal.”
The NAMM Best in Show award is presented annually to the most innovative product exhibited, selected from more than a thousand instruments, microphones, PA systems, and professional audio technologies showcased at the event.
Electrotec Audio was originally founded in London in 1984 by Farr, a legendary live sound producer (audio production for Rod Stewart, Rush, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N’ Roses). After decades shaping some of the most iconic live performances in music history, Farr returned to reimagine professional sound for a new era…combining concert-grade performance with true portability.
STAGE ONE is a true three-way, triple-amplified system delivering professional output in a compact, battery-powered form. Designed and acoustically tuned in the United States, its touring-grade enclosure is engineered for durability, weather resistance, and precise acoustic control.
Wireless performance is powered by SKAA and SKAA Pro, delivering industry-leading, ultra-low-latency, pure wireless audio transmission. SKAA Pro enables near-instant synchronization between systems for live performance, while standard SKAA allows multiple speakers to be linked wirelessly with tight timing and stability…far beyond the limits of conventional Bluetooth solutions.
STAGE ONE features 60 individually tuned volume levels, each calibrated to maintain clarity, balance, and impact…from speech and background music to full outdoor performance levels.
The STAGE ONE XB wireless subwoofer expands the system into a full-range solution, delivering deep, controlled low-frequency energy while remaining fully wireless and battery powered.
Electrotec systems are used across a wide range of professional and consumer applications, including DJs, bands, mobile entertainers, churches and religious gatherings, event and wedding planners, schools, police and firefighter public-service events, home entertainment, house parties, karaoke, video games, movies, outdoor festivals, and any environment requiring high-grade wireless audio.
Each STAGE ONE system is supported by one of the strongest customer programs in its category, including a 2-year warranty and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
