Description:
The Proton 301 is a vintage bi-amplified powered loudspeaker designed as the companion speaker to the Proton 300 table radio.
When paired with the Proton 300, the 301 completes the system as a true stereo setup, giving the listener a much wider and more immersive presentation than the 300 can provide on its own. Unlike a passive extension speaker, the 301 has its own built-in amplification and was engineered specifically to complement the Proton 300.
Its compact size and understated 1980s industrial design make it an interesting vintage piece for a desk, office, bedroom, kitchen, or secondary listening space.

Why we like it:
The 301 makes much more sense once you understand its purpose. It wasn’t simply another small speaker—it was designed to transform the Proton 300 from a high-quality table radio into a compact stereo system.
