Fender Unveils New Bluetooth Speakers Supporting Multiple Audio Streams

Famous for its guitars and amplifiers, Fender is expanding into consumer electronics with the introduction of a new division, Fender Audio, at CES 2026. Among its initial offerings are innovative portable Bluetooth speakers known as ELIE, which stands for 'Extremely Loud Infinitely Expressive.'

Multi-Input Audio Experience

A standout feature of the ELIE speakers is their ability to blend audio from up to four different inputs. This unique capability allows users to play sound simultaneously from various sources like a Bluetooth-connected device, a musical instrument or microphone interfaced via the XLR/1/4-inch combo jack, and two additional input devices.

Two Versatile Sizes

The ELIE speakers are crafted in two dimensions, both offering the option to be paired with an additional speaker for enhanced stereo sound. They can also connect up to an impressive 100 units for extensive audio coverage.

Impressive Specifications

The more compact version, ELIE 6, priced at $299.99, stands at 7.7 inches with a singular subwoofer, a full-range driver, and a tweeter, producing up to 60W. Its battery endures for up to 18 hours, with a quick 15-minute charge providing an additional 90 minutes of listening.

On the other hand, the larger ELIE 12 is available for $399.99, measuring slightly below 7 inches tall but broader at 11 inches. Equipped with dual subwoofers, dual full-range drivers, and dual tweeters, this model delivers twice the power of the ELIE 6, boasting a 120W output. Its battery lifespan reaches up to 15 hours, with a speedy recharge granting two more hours of play.
