A boombox is a transistorized portable music player featuring one or two cassette tape recorder/players and AM/FM radio, generally with a carrying handle. Beginning in the mid 1980s, a CD player was often included.^[1] Sound is delivered through an amplifier and two or more integrated loudspeakers. A boombox is a device typically capable of receiving radio stations and playing recorded music (usually cassettes or CDs usually at a high volume). Many models are also capable of recording onto cassette tapes from radio and other sources. In the 1990s, some boomboxes were available with minidisc recorders and players. Designed for portability, boomboxes can be powered by batteries as well as by line current. The boombox was introduced to the American market during the late 1970s. The desire for louder and heavier bass led to bigger and heavier boxes; by the 1980s, some boomboxes had reached the size of a suitcase. Some larger boomboxes even contained vertically mounted record turntables. Most boomboxes were battery-operated, leading to extremely heavy, bulky boxes.^[2]

The boombox quickly became associated with urban society in the United States, particularly African American and Hispanic youth. The wide use of boomboxes in urban communities led to the boombox being coined a «ghetto blaster«. Some cities petitioned for the banning of boomboxes from public places, and over time, they became less acceptable on city streets.^[3] The boombox became closely linked to American hip hop culture and was instrumental in the rise of hip hop music.

History[edit]

The first boombox was developed by the inventor of the audio compact cassette, Philips of the Netherlands. Their first ‘Radiorecorder’ was released in 1966. The Philips innovation was the first time that radio broadcasts could be recorded onto cassette tapes without the cables or microphones that previous stand-alone cassette tape recorders required. Recordings of radio were still subject to interferences from automobiles and other vehicles nearby with the same frequency, limiting their overall quality.^[4] Although the sound quality of early cassette tape recordings was poor, improvements in technology and the introduction of stereo recording, chromium tapes, and Dolby noise reduction made hifi quality devices possible. Several European electronics brands, such as Grundig, also introduced similar devices.

Boomboxes were soon also developed in Japan in the early 1970s and soon became popular there due to their compact size and impressive sound quality.^[5] The Japanese brands rapidly took over a large portion of the European boombox market and were often the first Japanese consumer electronics brands that a European household might purchase. The Japanese innovated by creating different sizes, form factors, and technology, introducing such advances as stereo boomboxes, removable speakers, built-in TV receivers, and built-in CD players.

The boombox became popular in America during the late 1970s, with most then being produced by Panasonic, Sony, General Electric, and Marantz.^[3] It was immediately noticed by the urban adolescent community and soon developed a mass market, especially in large metropolitan centers such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.

The earliest known boombox with integrated portable television was released in the early 1980s.^[6]

The earlier models were a hybrid that combined the booming sound of large in-home stereo systems and the portability of small portable cassette players; they were typically small, black or silver, heavy, and capable of producing high volumes.^[3] The effective AM/FM tuner, standard in all early boomboxes, was the most popular feature of the early boombox up until the incorporation of input and output jacks into the boxes, which allowed for the coupling of devices such as microphones,
turntables, and CD players.^[3]

The development of audio jacks brought the boombox to the height of its popularity, and as its popularity rose, so did the level of innovation in the features included in the box. Consumers enjoyed the portability and sound quality of boomboxes, but one of the most important features, especially to the youth market, was the bass. The desire for louder and heavier bass led to bigger and heavier boxes.

Regardless of the increasing weight and size, the devices continued to become larger to accommodate the increased bass output; newer boombox models had heavy metal casings to handle the vibrations from the bass.^[3]

Design[edit]

A boombox, in its most basic form, is composed of two or more loudspeakers, an amplifier, a radio tuner, and a cassette and/or CD player component, all housed in a single plastic or metal case with a handle for portability. Most units can be powered by AC or DC cables in addition to batteries.

As boomboxes grew in popularity, they also became more complex in design and functionality. By the mid 1980s, many boomboxes included separate high and low frequency speakers and a second tape deck to allow the boombox to record both from the radio and from other pre-recorded cassettes. Equalizers, balance adjusters, Dolby noise reduction, and LED sound gauges were other later additions.^[7]

In the mid 1980s, the boombox began to become a status symbol; the popularity among young urbanites caused increasing demand for extravagant boxes. The growing popularity of the compact disc (CD) in the late 1980s led to the introduction of the CD player in standard boombox design. During the 1990s, boombox manufacturers began designing smaller, more compact boomboxes, which were often made out of plastic instead of metal as their counterparts from the previous decade had been.^[2]

The rectangular, angular, chrome aesthetic of many 1980s models was frequently replaced with black plastic in the 1990s, and modern designs are typically characterized by a rounded, curved appearance instead of sharp angles. However, the designs of the older models are a source of much interest among boombox enthusiasts and collectors, who frequently seek the larger feature-packed models that represented the cutting edge of portable music technology in their day. Today most boomboxes have replaced the cassette player with iPod docks to access MP3 technology, and some even come equipped with integrated or removable satellite radio tuners.^[8]

Boombox designs vary greatly in size. Larger, more powerful units may require 10 or more size-D batteries, may measure more than 760 millimetres (30 in) in width, and can weigh more than 12 kilograms (26 lb). Some take a 12-volt sealed lead-acid battery, or can be a portable enclosure for a car audio head unit.

Audio quality and feature sets vary widely, with high-end models providing features and sound comparable to some home stereo systems. Most models offer volume, tone and balance (left/right) controls.

Most brands were manufactured in Japan by consumer electronics companies such as Aiwa, Sanyo, Hitachi, JVC, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, and Toshiba. European brands include Philips or Grundig. Some boomboxes were also manufactured in Eastern Europe, notably in the Soviet Union (Vega, Oreanda and VEF), East Germany (RFT), Hungary (Orion and Videoton) and Romania (the Stereo Spatial RC). Although their quality was lower, some of them were exported to the West as budget, discount or low cost products.

More sophisticated models may feature dual cassette decks (often featuring high-speed dubbing, or sometimes even digitally controlled servo cassette mechanics), separate bass and treble level controls, five- or ten-band graphic equalizers, Dolby noise reduction, analog or LED sound level (VU) meters or even VFD, larger speakers, ‘soft-touch’ tape deck controls, multiple shortwave (SW) band reception with fine tuning, digital tuner with PLL (phase-locked loop), automatic song search functions for cassettes, line and/or phono inputs and outputs, microphone inputs, loudness switches, and detachable speakers, full function infrared remote control. A handful of models even featured an integrated record turntable, an 8-track tape player, a minidisc player/recorder, or a (typically black-and-white) television screen, although the basic radio/cassette models have historically been by far the most popular.

Cultural significance[edit]

The boombox quickly became associated with urban society, particularly black and Hispanic youth. The wide use of boomboxes in urban communities led to the boombox being coined a «ghetto blaster», a nickname which was soon used as part of a backlash against the boombox and hip hop culture. The character Radio Raheem in Spike Lee’s drama film Do the Right Thing (1989) personifies the connotations associated with «ghetto blasters» and is a prominent example of the boombox’s use by urban youth in American media.^[9] Cities began banning boomboxes from public places, and they became less acceptable on city streets as time progressed.^[3]

The boombox became intrinsically linked to hip hop culture and, as Fab Five Freddy puts it, was «instrumental» in the rise of hip hop.^[2] Certain models like the JVC RC-M90 and the Sharp GF-777 were known as the boombox kings, having the power to drown out other ghetto blasters; they were frequently used in music battles.^[10] The Beastie Boys embraced the boombox as a signature, The Clash always had a boombox with them, and Schoolly D carried around a Conion C-100F in the UK.^[11]

Decline[edit]

The 1990s were a turning point for the boombox in popular culture. The rise of the Walkman and other advanced electronics eliminated the need to carry around such large and heavy audio equipment, and boomboxes quickly disappeared from the streets. As boombox enthusiast Lyle Owerko puts it, «Towards the end of any culture, you have the second or third generation that steps into the culture, which is so far from the origination, it’s the impression of what’s real, but it’s not the full definition of what’s real. It’s just cheesy.»^[12] The Consumer Electronics Association reported that only 329,000 boombox units without CD players were shipped in the United States in 2003, compared to 20.4 million in 1986.^[3]

Compressed digital audio and the future of boomboxes[edit]

Although many boomboxes had dual cassette decks and included dubbing, line, and radio recording capabilities, the rise of recordable CDs, the decline of audio cassette technology, and the popularity of high-density MP3 players and smart phones have reduced the popularity of high-quality boomboxes to such an extent that it is difficult to find a new dual-decked stereo. Dubbing remains popular among audiophiles, bootleggers, and pirates, though most tasks are now accomplished through digital means or analog-to-digital conversion technology.

Most modern boomboxes include a CD player compatible with CD-R and CD-RW, which allows the user to carry their own music compilations on a higher fidelity medium. Many also permit iPod and similar devices to be plugged into them through one or more auxiliary ports. Some also support formats such as MP3 and WMA. Some models, typically higher-end, are able to display metadata such as title, artist, album (known as «ID3 tag» on MP3 specifically), file name, and parent folder or file path, on the segment display itself or a separate character row.^[13][14]

The simplest way to connect an older boombox to an MP3 player is to use a cassette adapter, which interfaces an MP3 player’s output directly to the cassette player’s heads. The ‘Line In’ (also known as ‘Aux In’) can be used if the boombox has one.

Some modern boombox designs provide other connections for MP3 (and sometimes other digital formats) such as a USB connector for use with a removable USB drive, slots for various flash memory media such as SD, MMC, SmartMedia, and Memory Stick, or even a CD drive capable of reading MP3s directly from a CD, thus allowing for a relatively cheap and large music storage to be carried and played back at full volume.

Starting in mid-2010, there are new lines of boomboxes that use Bluetooth technology known as Stereo Bluetooth, or A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). They use the wireless Bluetooth technology to «stream» audio to the boombox from a compatible Bluetooth device, such as a mobile phone or Bluetooth MP3 player. An example of this is the JAMBOX,^[15] which is marketed as a «Smart Speaker» as it can also function as a speakerphone for voice calls in addition to being an audio playback device.

Another modern variant is a DVD player/boombox with a top-loading CD/DVD drive and an LCD video screen in the position once occupied by a cassette deck.^[16] Many models of this type of boombox include inputs for external video (such as television broadcasts) and outputs to connect the DVD player to a full-sized television.

Some newer boomboxes, may also have DAB/DAB+ radio, internet radio, or network capabilities and various apps, like TuneIn, Spotify, MusicCast, DLNA, etc. Also they have Wi-Fi, Network RJ45 connection. However, this may limit their portability, as internet access is needed in order to use them at full potential. Without internet service, they can operate as standard, radio (both FM, AM and DAB), USB and CD player (if available), aux input, and bluetooth (if available).

Библиография[править]

Бумбо́кс (англ. boombox, иначе англ. ghettoblaster, англ. jambox) — тип переносного аудиоцентра. Изначально так назывался переносной двухкассетный стереомагнитофон с радиоприёмником, и большими динамиками. С 90-х годов такой аудиоцентр комплектуется CD-проигрывателем, а сегодня в бумбоксах магнитофон встречается всё реже и реже, постепенно вытесняясь более современными типами звуковых носителей.

Появление

Первый бумбокс был придуман в 1975 году братьями-близнецами Стейси и Скоттом Вёльфел (Stacey and Scott Woelfel), использовавшими для этого деревянный корпус со встроенными колонками и 8-дорожечной автомобильной магнитолой. В конце 70-х различные компании представили свои бумбоксы. Но, хотя ими были созданы довольно мощные и продвинутые модели, настоящую популярность бумбоксы получили лишь в 80-х — вместе с развитием феноменов брейкданса и хип-хоп культуры.

Геттобластер

Термин «геттобластер», синоним бумбокса, можно счесть оскорбительным или одобрительным в зависимости от контекста. Слово «геттобластер» возникло в кварталах городов Соединённых Штатов, с преобладающим чернокожим населением, независимо от их материальных возможностей. Именно «Геттобластер», а не «бумбокс», стал общим термином в Великобритании и в Австралии применительно к крупным портативным стереосистемам.

Слово «геттобластер» используется в названии по крайней мере одного журнала и одной звукозаписывающей компании, а также как элемент популярного стереотипа афроамериканской культуры 1970-х и 1980-х годов, связанного, как правило, с фанком, хип-хопом и рэпом, брейкдансом.

В Великобритании в 1990-х годах употребление этого слова существенно сократилось в пользу термина «Брикстонский портфель» (Brixton briefcase), относящемуся к пригороду Южного Лондона с чернокожим населением Брикстон.

Компания (Виргин Геймз) в 1985 году выпустила свою игру Ghetto Blaster для 8-битного домашнего компьютера Коммодор 64; в ней герой ходит по улице с бумбоксом и под музыку обстреливает людей, чтобы заставить их танцевать.

Расцвет

Главным фактором взлёта спроса на бумбоксы стали уличные виды активности — джемы и батлы, когда группы молодёжи стали демонстрировать свои стили друг другу, соревнуясь в танцевальном умении и в мастерстве читки рэпа. Новый тип аудиоустройства до сих пор привлекает именно этой возможностью — потанцевать, обменяться музыкальными треками и сделать новую запись в любом месте.

На популярность бумбокса в уличных тусовках сильно повлияли медиа — FM-станции и телевидение, подстегнув эту тягу к широкому общению и к самодеятельному творчеству. Определённо, у фирм-производителей появился мощный стимул: чей бумбокс выдаст более мощный и сочный звук, у какого бумбокса дольше не садятся батарейки.

Помимо всего прочего, всё ещё имеют значение возможности скомбинировать треки при воспроизведении и, при надобности, записать звук. Поэтому при выборе модели учитываются характеристики радио-приёмника, колонок, магнитофонного или CD блока и усилителя.

Примечательные модели и марки

Популярность больших переносных стерео-систем в начале 90-х пошла на спад, и лишь некоторые модели производятся до сих пор. Прямоугольную, угловатую хромированную эстетику многих моделей 80-х годов в 90-х сменил чёрный пластик и современный дизайн, в котором доминируют плавные изгибы. Дизайн же старых моделей стал источником интереса многих коллекционеров и энтузиастов.

Бумбо́кс (англ. boombox, иначе англ. ghettoblaster, англ. jambox) — тип переносного музыкального центра. Изначально так назывался переносной двухкассетный стереомагнитофон с радиоприёмником и большими динамиками.
С 90-х годов такой аудиоцентр комплектуется CD-проигрывателем, а сегодня в бумбоксах магнитофон (как, зачастую, и CD) уже не встречается, вытесняясь современными типами звуковых носителей.

Появление

Первый бумбокс был придуман в 1975 году братьями-близнецами Стейси и Скоттом Вёльфел (Stacey / Scott Woelfel), использовавшими для этого деревянный корпус со встроенными колонками и 8-дорожечной автомобильной магнитолой.

В конце 70-х различные компании представили свои бумбоксы. Но, хотя ими были созданы довольно мощные и продвинутые модели, настоящую популярность бумбоксы получили лишь в 80-х — вместе с развитием феноменов брейкданса и хип-хоп культуры.

Геттобластер

Термин «геттобластер», синоним бумбокса, можно счесть оскорбительным или одобрительным в зависимости от контекста. Слово «геттобластер» возникло в кварталах городов Соединённых Штатов с преобладающим чернокожим населением («чёрное гетто»), независимо от их материальных возможностей. Именно «геттобластер», а не «бумбокс», стал общим термином в Великобритании и в Австралии применительно к крупным носимым стереосистемам.

Слово «геттобластер» используется в названии по крайней мере одного журнала и одной звукозаписывающей компании, а также как элемент популярного феномена афроамериканской культуры 1970-х и 1980-х годов, связанного, как правило, с фанком, хип-хопом и рэпом, брейкдансом.

В Великобритании в 1990-х годах употребление этого слова существенно сократилось в пользу термина «Брикстонский портфель» (Brixton briefcase), относящемуся к пригороду Южного Лондона с чернокожим населением Брикстон (Brixton).

В культуре

Компания Виргин Геймз в 1985 году выпустила свою игру Ghetto Blaster для 8-битного домашнего компьютера Коммодор 64; в ней герой ходит по улице с бумбоксом и под музыку обстреливает людей, чтобы заставить их танцевать.

Расцвет

Главным фактором взлёта спроса на бумбоксы стали уличные виды активности — джемы и баттлы, когда группы молодёжи стали демонстрировать свои стили друг другу, соревнуясь в танцевальном умении и в мастерстве читки рэпа. Новый тип аудиоустройства до сих пор привлекает именно этой возможностью — потанцевать, обменяться музыкальными треками и сделать новую запись в любом месте.

На популярность бумбокса в уличных тусовках сильно повлияли медиа — FM-станции и телевидение, подстегнув тягу к широкому общению и к самодеятельному творчеству. Определённо, у фирм-производителей появился мощный стимул: чей бумбокс выдаст более мощный и сочный звук, у какого бумбокса дольше не садятся батарейки.

Помимо всего прочего, всё ещё имеют значение возможности смикшировать треки при воспроизведении и, при надобности, записать звук. Поэтому при выборе модели учитываются характеристики радиоприёмника, колонок, магнитофонного или CD-блока и усилителя, а также наличие микрофонов или микрофонного входа.

В наши дни

В наши дни бумбоксы практически везде вытеснены портативными цифровыми проигрывателями^{[источник не указан 1933 дня][какими?]} или блютус-колонками для смартфонов.
Однако, для любителей бумбоксов выпускается несколько видов устройств, способных их заменить: большие цифровые проигрыватели, в которые можно вставить флеш-карту, внешне копирующие ранние бумбоксы 80-х и не уступающие им в громкости;
колонки для портативных гаджетов, внешне копирующие бумбоксы 80-х и многие другие симуляторы магнитофона.

Для тех же, кто не хочет расставаться со своим кассетным бумбоксом, есть выход: mp3-кассета-адаптер, представляет собой проигрыватель цифровых файлов с магнитной головкой. В такую «кассету» вставляется флеш-карта, а сама кассета — в кассетоприёмник бумбокса (или любого другого кассетного магнитофона), треки с флеш-карты преобразовываются в аналоговый формат и подаются на магнитную головку устройства, которая соприкасается с головкой бумбокса, таким образом заменяя реальную кассету^{[источник не указан 1933 дня]}.

Сейчас бумбоксы всё реже стали появляться в магазинах электроники. Они вновь стали популярны в 2010-х годах, но уменьшились в размере. Некоторые новые модели поддерживают Bluetooth
