Taking your speaker outdoors: braais, beaches and splash resistance
Placing your speaker well matters more than turning it up. Keep it off the floor and a little away from walls, so the bass does not boom. A shelf at ear height works well in most Cape Town lounges.
Try the same song in two or three spots and listen. Corners add bass, open shelves keep it tight. If the room is large, move the speaker closer to where you sit. Small changes cost nothing and the difference is easy to hear.
ACCESSORIES
Setting up takes a few minutes. Charge the speaker, switch it on and open Bluetooth on your phone. Choose Knoppie from the list and wait for the chime. After that it reconnects by itself each time it is in range. If the connection drops, move closer and try again before you reset anything.
Small flats suit a small speaker. Place it on a bookshelf or a bedside table and keep the volume modest, which also keeps the neighbours happy. The Knoppie Speaker Mini Chalk is built for this: it is light, tidy and clear at low volume. Use a fabric sleeve when you carry it between rooms, so the cover stays clean and free of scratches.

Battery life
Taking a speaker outdoors is easy, but plan for sun, sand and a few drops. Knoppie speakers resist splashes, so a light shower or a wet hand is fine. Keep them out of the pool and rinse off sand with a damp cloth. At the braai, put the speaker in the shade and a little off the ground, which keeps the sound clear and the battery cool.

CHARGING
A bookshelf or a countertop: which is better? Both work, with small differences. On a shelf the speaker sits near a wall, so bass grows warmer. On a counter it has open space and the sound spreads further. In a kitchen, keep it away from the stove and sink. Pick the spot where you spend the most time and let your ears decide.
Mornings go smoother with a speaker in the kitchen. Ask it for the weather, play the radio while the kettle boils, or hear a traffic update before you leave for work. Set a daily alarm and start with a favourite playlist. Knoppie works with your phone’s voice assistant, so there is nothing extra to learn. It simply plays what you ask for, at the volume you like.
