Here we are promised a 15-hour battery life and a myriad impressive features, making it one of the most versatile and portable Cubes to date. What strikes you on first handling is the unit’s weight: it’s very light and could be comfortably carried between busking positions. Aesthetically, it models a transistor radio with black grille hiding two four-inch speakers angled back for improved projection. In typical Roland style the Mobile Cube’s top-panel takes on a two-tone white and grey look; it won’t win any style awards but it’s perfectly functional.
