Ural TT M
As far as I understand, the manufacturer has decided to leave the previous generation of M-1 speakers. In my opinion the decision is correct, because the model is unusual and original in terms of design.
The new TT M is a more modern look and a comfortable design. It is sold in four colors: black, red, green and khaki red.
It was called “Avoska” because of the shape of the case, reminiscent of the legendary Soviet bag. But this is according to marketers, because the real twine bag is a perforated mesh bag woven with hard threads. The TT M column is more like a clutch. In any case, it’s nice that the manufacturer mentions our words in the name of the devices.
The body shape of the TT M is a truncated cone. A significant part is covered with a red braid. But if you look closely, you can see the strands of red and black, but from a distance they blend, and therefore the color looks a little “muted”. The other part is in semi-gloss black plastic.
Again, I want to note separately that the manufacturer uses plastic and other materials in new products of different quality. They are better, they seem more expensive, little more useful things have appeared.
Avoska has a ring-shaped handle, reinforced with a rubber insert. The column can be hung or placed somewhere, as rubber feet are provided on the bottom of the device. In addition, they are not solid, but with grooves and are equipped with protrusions at the ends. I’m talking about the little things.
The gadget is protected according to the IP67 standard. Easily withstands rain, splashes and even immersion in water to a depth of one meter. A useful thing, especially if you buy such a thing for a child.
Above you can see large plastic buttons: power, volume up or down, play / pause. The pressure is as firm as possible, the stroke is minimal, a loud click is heard.
On the right – a pen and the inscription “URAL” with a logo. On the left is the inscription TT and USB Type-C for charging (covered by a thick plug).
Dimensions “Ural” TT M – 98x48x82 mm, weight – 196 grams.
Inside there is a 45 mm speaker, with a power of 5 W, with a frequency range of 80 Hz – 20 kHz.
To my surprise, the speaker sound is extremely pleasant, especially the corrupted mids and highs. He played as cleanly as possible. I liked the way TT M conveys the voice: lively, strong, natural.
The volume hit even more, on a par with older speakers like the JBL Flip. The acoustics have little bass. In this regard it loses a little, for example, JBL GO. But the latest midrange / treble isn’t that open.
In general, the TT M sounds quite interesting, and most importantly, very loud and without overload – 10-15 m2 will pump easily.
The battery here is 1200mAh (3.6V). Charges in about an hour and a half. It works for about 8 hours at a volume of 40-60%. Which is pretty good. You can always connect an external battery and extend its life.
Ural TT M3 mini
“Kubyshka” (as the novelty was called due to the shape of the case) is sold in four colors: black, red, green-yellow and black-red-gray. I had a classic black color on the review. It looks strictly.
For the uninitiated: A capsule is a large East Slavic earthenware jar with a short or missing neck.
And the column could also be called a “barrel”. But the “pod” is somehow more beautiful and pleasing to the ear.
Here, the black rubberized plastic is already used in combination with the wicker on both sides.
On the top is a 50mm diameter passive radiator. Made of glossy black plastic, it features two inverted “T” letters.
It also has RGB lighting around the perimeter of the passive speaker. Bright enough and effective. It doesn’t work like color music to the beat of a melody – it just glows in different colors.
From a purely visual point of view, the TT M-3 mini makes a good impression. One feels that this is not a “Chinese cellar”, assembled from what it used to be.
A handle for carrying the device was again provided. True, here it was not reinforced with a rubber insert.
On one side:
Concave round power button
3.5mm AUX, USB Type-C for charging. Under a powerful dense rubber stopper
Battery charge indicator.
On the other side:
Turn up the volume
Low volume
TWS button to pair another speaker of the same speaker
Bluetooth pairing
Operation mode indicator.
Underneath are four pointed rubber legs. The column wobbles slightly on them, but this does not affect stability. Reminds me of jelly))
Dimensions – 95x84x84 mm, weight – 326 grams.
In this case, we’re dealing with two 40mm speakers on each side. They are stereo, the power is about 8W, the frequency range is from 75Hz to 20kHz.
The presence of two speakers had a positive effect on the perception of the music. It looks bulky, there is a “sound around”.
Unlike the TT M, in the TT M-3 mini you can already hear the bass notes “opening” at a volume level of 20%. The overall volume is very loud: it seems to me that it is twice as loud as the TT M, and at the level of the TT M-3.
Again, emphasis on mids and highs. Excellent voice transmission. A passive speaker helps reveal low frequencies. They are much better than the TT M and a little simpler than the M-4. The TT M-3 LF is also a bit simpler.
There is no overload at maximum volume, but to avoid squishing, the software reduces the bottoms, pushing the treble forward.
All in all, a great speaker for listening to music in a small room. Ideally on a desktop in front of you to hear how the “sound around” spreads. By the way, it is also protected against water according to the IP67 standard.
The battery here is 2500mAh (3.6V). This is logical, because it is necessary to pump two speakers. A full charge is sufficient for approximately the same amount of operation as the TT M column: 7-8 hours with a volume of 40-60%. But it takes a long time to charge – around 3.5 hours.

Ural TT M-3 maxi
But this column was simply decided to increase the size compared to the previous TT M-3. That is, the appearance has not changed much. Dimensions – 220x88x88 mm, weight – only 700 grams. And “only” – due to the fact that it is quite large, it seems that it should weigh exactly at least 900-1000 grams. It appears to be empty.
As for the materials, they are better, as I have already written more than once. Somehow it is neater.
On the body there are elements:
Power button
Battery indicator (four LEDs)
Volume up button
Volume down button
TWS mode for pairing with the same speaker model
Operation mode indicator
Bluetooth pairing
Under a large rubber stopper approximately 10 mm thick:
TO
USB Type-C for charging the speaker battery
USB Type-A to charge other gadgets, PowerBank mode (5V / 1A). By the way, the instructions say nothing about it.
The Sonata has two speakers: 25 W + 10 W, dimensions – 91×52 mm and 53×37 mm. One is responsible for the low and mid frequencies, the other for the high frequencies.
From a sound standpoint, there is something between the TT M-3 and the TT-M-4. The latter plays a little more powerful and assertive. Very similar to the TT M-5.
Again, the emphasis is on SR and HF. The bass does not swell. On the one hand, it’s bad, because you want “bumkalok”, on the other hand, it’s good, because the frequency response doesn’t deteriorate with increasing volume. A typical problem with most portable speakers: we start turning up the volume – the bass decreases.
The TT M-3 maxi speaker is suitable for playing music outdoors or in a large room. Its potential is revealed when the volume is increased by 30%.
True, the manufacturer has now made a somewhat strange move: he mounted the TT M-4 for 5,700 rubles (Spetsnaz, Taiga) and the TT M-3 maxi for 6,500 rubles. Although it is clear that the M-4 sounds a little better, but now for less money.
Integrated “Ural” TT M-3 maxi battery – 2500 mAh (7.2 V). This column was tested at a volume not exceeding 40%. In this mode, it worked for about 8 hours, which is quite a long time. Officially: 3 hours maximum, 12 hours at 50% of the volume. It recharges in about 4 hours from a USB computer.

Impression
In my opinion, the Ural company has managed to make a good upgrade addition to the model range. Now he has a cheap and noisy TT M for 1,250 rubles, a stereo and powerful mini TT M-3 for 4,700 rubles, a powerful and loud maxi TT M-3.
It also remains in the M-4 formation – even more powerful and low, the unusual M-5. Of the cheap ones: M-3, M-2 and M1.
If I took it for a child, then the Ural column TT M. It costs a penny, the sound is beautiful, it plays for a long time, it is protected from water.
As for me, I would take care of the Ural TT M-3 mini. I liked the surround sound and overall it looks nice.
