About the RIVA Turbo X

Ralph Graves

Turbo-charged sound

No joke. This one really does go to eleven. The RIVA Turbo X features a smartphone remote app that lets you cycle through ten different levels of volume. But if you activate the Turbo feature, your music gets a massive EQ boost to over 100 dB — and the app shows that your volume has gone to eleven.

But if you activate the Turbo feature, your music gets a massive EQ boost to over 100 dB — and the app shows that your volume has gone to eleven.

Riva Turbo X

The TURBO X features actually three active speakers, positioned left, center and right, that create virtual left and right speakers outside the enclosure.

A rock-solid rocker

The RIVA Turbo X features three proprietary speakers positioned left, center and right, that mix in-air to create virtual left and right speakers outside the enclosure. The system delivers clean, expansive sound with plenty of bass. Activate the Trillium™ Surround feature and you'll experience immersive simulated surround sound — great for movies and games. And with 45 watts of power, you can be sure the Turbo X will deliver, especially at higher volumes.

Smartphone-friendly

Accept calls through the Turbo X from your paired smartphone. The system has a built-in microphone with noise and echo canceling technology, ensuring you'll hear and be heard with clarity. A USB charging port in the rear lets you keep your smartphone charged while you're listening to music (or taking that call).

Bluetooth with aptX®

The Turbo X features aptX, an advanced type of Bluetooth wireless streaming. It allows compatible devices to send audio signals to the speaker at near-CD quality. The system also works with earlier forms of Bluetooth. This means you can play your music wirelessly from almost any portable device.

Proximity control buttons

Just wave your hand over the Turbo X to activate it. Just wave your hand over the Turbo X to wake it up from power-saving sleep mode. The capacitive sensing buttons are activated by the slightest touch — you don't have to press hard.

Portability is a plus

The system's built-in rechargeable battery can deliver over 26 hours of operation — more than enough for a full day of listening. The base has three rubber pads to keep speaker system in place when the Turbo-enhanced bass kicks in. And one of them doubles as a splash-resistant input/output cover.

Features

Bluetooth: The Riva Turbo X speaker features built-in Bluetooth with support for wireless audio streaming, plus built-in speakerphone for hands-free communication. The Riva Turbo X speaker system will pair with most Bluetooth-enabled devices such as Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows PC, Mac computers, and more (up to 8 devices total).

  • Wireless Audio Streaming: You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device to the Turbo X speaker system. You also get Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track controls from the Turbo X and the Riva Ground Control App for Apple iOS and Android devices. The unit supports SBC, AAC (for Apple iOS), and aptX (for Android) audio codecs.
  • Speakerphone: The Turbo X can act as a speakerphone for your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, thanks to its built-in microphone with noise & echo cancellation. In addition to the noise & echo cancellation, the Turbo X's automatic teleconferencing EQ setting maximizes the midrange to deliver better voices. Use the built-in mic to carry on your side of the conversation while the other party is heard through the speakers of the Turbo X. Incoming calls will ring through the Turbo X speaker and you can answer/end/reject a call from the Bluetooth speaker. You'll still need to use your phone to make calls and the audio will automatically be transferred to the Turbo X speaker system.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Riva Turbo X.

Full-Range Sound: The Riva Turbo X Bluetooth speaker features three front-firing 2.375" full-range proprietary drivers and four ADX custom dual piston bass radiators (two side-firing/two rear-firing). The three full-range drivers are powered by a proprietary ADX 3-channel amplifier rated at 45 Watts RMS.

  • Trillium Technology: Trillium is ADX's proprietary audio technology that enlarges audio image while allowing the signal power of the audio to be reproduced without excessive compression. This means you get truly immersive sound and clear, powerful bass to fill your room. Trillium Surround, when coupled with  Trillium audio technology, delivers an even wider soundfield that places you in the center of your favorite music.
  • Turbo EQ Boost: Riva's Turbo EQ boost mode takes sound to over 100dB, maximizing your listening pleasure for a party, movie watching, or your favorite video game. Using Turbo EQ boost will reduce the speaker system's rechargeable battery playback time.

Simple Control: The Riva Turbo X speaker system offers built-in top-panel controls and supports a free remote app for Apple iOS and Android.

  • Capacitive Touch Buttons w/ Proximty Sensor: The Riva Turbo X features top-mounted capacitive touch buttons for Power, Source, Volume, Playback, and Bluetooth Pairing control. A built-in proximity sensor automatically illuminates the buttons on the Turbo X when you wave your hand close over its top-panel.
  • Riva Ground Control App: The RIVA Ground Control app gives you the freedom to remotely control your Turbo X directly from your Apple iOS (6.0+) device or Android (4.0+) smartphone/tablet. A free download of this app is available for iOS and Android at the App Store or Google Play. All functions found on the Turbo X speaker are replicated in the Ground Control app.

    • Control Turbo EQ and Trillium Surround Modes
    • Play, Pause, Forward, or Reverse Music Selections

    • Change App Background Color

Aux Input: In addition to wireless Bluetooth connectivity, the Riva Turbo X speaker system is fitted with a rear-panel 3.5mm aux input to connect most analog audio devices with a headphone or analog audio output.

USB charging Port: You can charge your smartphone or tablet by connecting your device's USB cable to the Turbo X speaker's rear-panel USB (type-A) charging port; rated at 5V/1A.

Note: There is also a rear-panel microUSB (type-B) port for software/firmware upgrades and updates only.

Rechargeable Battery: The Turbo X's built-in rechargeable battery lasts up to 26 hours (varies by listening level). The Bluetooth speaker also comes with an AC power adapter to supply power to the speaker and to recharge the battery.

Weather Resistant: The Turbo X has been designed for use indoors and outdoors with weather resistance. Use it in the house, office, or take it outside on the deck or porch. Even though the speaker is weather resistant it is not weather or water proof; it should be left outside or exposed to direct weather or submerged in water.

Placement: To get the most out of the Turbo X, place the speaker about 3"-6" from a wall or corner to take advantage of the natural acoustics of the room.
