Sony Sountina Glass Speaker

Sony’s Sountina Glass speaker for only $10,000. The Sountina NSA-PF1—designed for larger rooms and halls—will give you a 50Hz to 20kHz frequency response, analog and digital audio inputs, and a blue, amber or purple-lit 3-foot organic glass tweeter.

Why speakers are called what they are.

Speak-er is a playful speaker design by Sherwood Forlee that puts the SPEAK back into Speakers. A speaker is a device that converts electrical energy into sound waves. It’s also someone who expresses in language.

Give your speakers some extra personality by making them out of a vinyl doll. The combined need for some new speakers created a happy union of doll and speaker.

Designer Ed Lewis took the hip, urban chic of vinyl toys and gave them the gift of music by fusing speakers into the faces of these “Munnny” vinyl toys from Kid Robot.

the three-way ZQ31D loudspeaker touts an architecture that responds to the acoustic demands. It entails merging of midrange/treble column with the subwoofer box. It features a 10mm twin-magnet Kevlar tweeter; a 15-degree angled midrange waveguide loading a 38mm Kevlar driver; and a 31cm woofer.

Tim Dubitsky has just prototyped “hood.e”, a super-cozy solution to bringing music to your ears without blocking everything else out.

War tech phones? No, it’s just the new Sony Personal Field Speakers. Sound loud and around! You can even feel the bass in your brains!

Features

Sony redefines the world of sound with its new 2007 PFR-V1 Personal Field Speaker that mimics audiophile grade front-facing speakers. First in the industry (and the world) to separate bass from mid and treble frequencies so that users can hear even better sound. Bass sounds are reproduced through a new “extended bass reflex duct” which extends directly into the ear canals.

The Egg Shaped Speaker designed by Nathan Gabriele is so cute. ‘Crack’ the shell and two pieces become your satellite speakers while the base acts as a subwoofer. The base also provides a dock for your MP3 player. It recharges via induction and when portability is a must - comes with a cool neoprene jacket.

Replace your ordinary desktop speakers with great sound and two favorite photos—all in a slim, space-saving design.

These photo speakers are pretty similar but they are photo frame speakers for your PC. The “Photo Frame Speakers” will blast away in stereo from behind the frames on either side of the computer, though the pictures aren’t digital.

Fi-Hi(www.fi-hi.com) presented its novelty bags equipped with speakers and amplifier during CTIA Wireless 2008.

The Fi-Hi bags tout a built-in 3-watt stereo amplifier and water resistant speakers to listen to your favorite tracks without using headphones.

The D+S Surround Sound Chair simply must be experienced to be believed. It provides total emersion with both music and movies. The clarity and precise imaging of the Surround Sound Chair cannot be realized by normal speaker setups. Here’s why:

In a normal rectangular room with front left and right speakers in their usual positions the listener does not get accurate clarity and imaging due to reflected sound off the walls, ceiling and floor. Let’s use a single tap of a snare drum or a single footstep for example. The sound from this event will first emerge from the speaker giving us a “direct” sound. However, this sound is also reflected off nearby walls, ceiling and floor giving us “reflected” sound. This reflected sound reaches the listener at slightly different times and vastly different directions. These many combined sounds from a single event not only blur the clarity of the sound but also distort and confuse the direction from where the sound came from resulting in poor imaging.
