On Wednesday, Sonodyne, an audio designing and manufacturing house, introduced its debut wireless speaker, Antara, with its iconic sonic signature sound tuning. The company claims this will “deliver impressive sound pressure levels (SPL) and low frequency,” despite its compact size.

The name Antara, inspired by Hindustani classical music, signifies a stanza or verse. Available in lustrous white and satin black, it retails for Rs 14,999. It is designed and manufactured in India, and gets a two-year warranty.
