Electrotec Audio STAGE ONE XB Wireless Portable Subwoofer Now Shipping

The XB recently captured Best in Show at the 2026 NAMM Show held in Anaheim, California, along with the STAGE ONE wireless portable speaker.

Electrotec Audio has announce that its new award-winning STAGE ONE XB wireless subwoofer is now shipping. The XB recently captured Best in Show at the 2026 NAMM Show held in Anaheim, California, along with the STAGE ONE wireless portable speaker.

"This marks a major a major breakthrough in battery-powered professional audio, and our NAMM Best in Show award confirms that," says Rikki Farr, co-founder, CEO, and co-designer of Electrotec Audio. "The XB is the most powerful subwoofer in its class, with dual hot-swappable batteries, pro-level inputs, while utilizing the ultra-reliable SKAA wireless audio technology. Built for party makers, DJs, musicians, content creators, event pros, and anyone who demands professional sound."

STAGE ONE XB is a next-generation mobile subwoofer created to add a new dimension to the STAGE ONE system. When paired together, STAGE ONE and XB form a high-powered, full-range wireless sound system that can be stacked or pole-mounted to fit any setup. Designed to deliver a remarkable low end from 28Hz to 150Hz, STAGE ONE XB produces deep, powerful, low end with peaks well over 126 dB SPL, giving your system weight and impact.

"At the core of STAGE ONE XB are two custom Electrotec 10" Neodymium woofers, designed and engineered to produce the epic sound that the STAGE ONE cabinet produces...not just musically, but dynamically," Farr continues. "The result is low-end that is tight, controlled, and powerful, responding instantly to changes in energy, volume, and performance. It's engineered to handle serious output, repeated transport, and demanding environments, all without sacrificing sound quality or control."

Wireless performance is powered by SKAA and SKAA Pro, delivering 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, the company says. This allows XB to integrate seamlessly with other SKAA products in the marketplace.

"Working with the Electrotec team to bring STAGE ONE products to life has been a pleasure, as the products are revolutionary in changing the way performers can enjoy freedom and mobility in their sets," adds Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. "Although designed for any performance, STAGE ONE products are ideal for DJs who have begged for a proper pro level wireless solution to provide flexibility as well as easy set-up/tear down after the gig. STAGE ONE's exceptional battery life plus SKAA Pro wireless technology combine to create the ultimate mobile DJ rig."

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 prolific 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.

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 a two-year warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

Now shipping worldwide, Electrotec Audio maintains a signed agreement with DHL Express Worldwide, enabling delivery from California to doorsteps in most countries within approximately three business days at special Electrotec shipping rates.
