Frequently Asked Questions
Sampling is done directly through the speaker's internal memory; it records a two-hour loop and doesn't support external file formats – it’s more for immediate, live manipulation.
Yes, the OB-4 punches above its weight; the clarity and stereo imaging are excellent, though the bass response might be slightly less emphasized than some consumer-focused models.
No, the OB-4 is designed as a standalone speaker system; it lacks outputs for connecting to external gear beyond the 3.5mm input.
