Preseed Japan's AVIOT brand and Pierre Nakano's PNK label are releasing their first wireless speaker, the WS-Q1PNK, on July 31, 2026. Pre-orders opened July 22 at 10 AM. The speaker uses a Φ40mm full-range driver and Nakano's sound tuning aimed at making vocal and percussion elements stand out while keeping midrange response gentle enough not to interfere with conversation. It carries an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, up to 20 hours of playback on a 2.5-hour charge, and supports multipoint connection, Auracast multi-speaker linking, and stereo pairing with a second unit. The included flip cover doubles as a stand with three angle settings. Voice guidance was recorded by voice actress Noriko Hidaka. The WS-Q1PNK already won the VGP2026 SUMMER Planning Prize, an award from one of Japan's larger audiovisual equipment awards programs. Two color variants are available: Black and White.
