Fender, the guitar maker also known for its amplifiers and amplifiers, has a new consumer electronics brand called Sound railing They debuted at CES 2026. In addition to a new pair of wireless headphones, Fender Audio announced a pair of portable Bluetooth speakers called ELIE, which stands for “Extremely Loud Infinitely Expressive.”
The ELIE speakers will be available in two sizes, but both versions can be connected to a second unit to create a stereo pair, or you can connect and sync up to 100 of them to fill a larger space with sound. Both also support a unique feature that allows you to listen to audio from up to four different audio inputs simultaneously. These devices can include a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, an instrument or microphone connected to the ELIE’s XLR/1/4″ jack with a cable, and a couple of other accessories connected using Fender’s proprietary wireless system.
The smaller of the two is the 7.7-inch-long, $299.99 ELIE 6, which features a built-in subwoofer paired with a full-range driver and amplifier that produces up to 60 watts of sound. Battery life is rated at up to 18 hours, while a 15-minute quick charge should be good for up to 90 minutes of playback. The larger version is the $399.99 ELIE 12, which is just under 7 inches tall but much wider at 11 inches. It doubles the ELIE 6’s speakers with two subwoofers, two full-range drivers, and two woofers that produce up to 120 watts of sound. As a result, battery life is reduced to up to 15 hours, but a quick 15-minute charge will give you an additional two hours of listening.
