Crafting Portable
Audio Experiences

GXO Acoustics is taking shape as a home for audio products, with listening at the heart of every idea.

We're starting with Horizon V1, our portable radio project. This is where we'll share its development and introduce the audio experiences that follow.

First project: Horizon V1In development

TUNE. DISCOVER. LISTEN.

Horizon V1.

In development

A dedicated tuning experience in a compact, rechargeable design. We're bringing together a colour display, physical controls and stereo listening for the stations you love—and the ones you haven't found yet.

THE ENCLOSURE / 3D DESIGN STUDY
Current Horizon V1 enclosure CAD, with an inclined front, display opening, control apertures and lower sound outlets
A radio taking shape. The inclined front brings the display and controls towards the listener.

Rendered from our current enclosure CAD. Controls, materials and final finish are under development; physical fit and acoustic performance await prototype testing.

WHAT WE'RE DESIGNING FOR

The intended experience. Final specifications will follow validation.

01

Radio, at its heart

FM and AM listening, with tuning and station presets. FM station information where RDS is broadcast.

02

Controls you can feel

Separate tuning and volume controls, front buttons and a colour display for everyday operation.

03

Your way to listen

Built-in stereo speakers and a headphone output, with sound performance to be tested on the prototype.

04

Made to move

A rechargeable battery design with USB-C charging and battery monitoring under development.

Careful steps.
A clear direction.

Good listening starts long before the first station is tuned. We're reviewing the design, preparing prototypes and making space to learn from practical testing.

WHERE WE ARE NOWEngineering review &
prototype preparation

The current electronics and enclosure designs are prepared for review. Prototype assembly and listening tests are next.

Development snapshot · 9 October 2026
01Concept & designCurrent revision prepared

The radio layout, display position, controls and enclosure shape are defined in the current design. The circuit and PCB have been through successive reviews.

02Engineering reviewCurrent phase

The latest electronics, component selections and enclosure CAD are available for review. Initial firmware adaptation and automated checks are complete, and components are being sourced for prototypes.

03Build & testNext

Assemble prototypes and check the enclosure fit, reception, speakers, headphones, controls, charging and battery behaviour. This is where design decisions meet real listening.

04Refine the experiencePlanned

Use prototype results to improve the enclosure, software and listening experience, then repeat the relevant tests.

05Prepare for releaseLater

Confirm the final specifications, documentation and support arrangements after validation. Availability and a launch date have not been announced.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

One radio.
More possibilities.

GXO Acoustics is building a family of audio products around the pleasure of listening. Horizon V1 is one part of that journey. We'll share meaningful progress here as the design becomes a tested product.
