airSound progress

Ted Fletcher, the inventor of airSound has introduced a range of single point stereo machines. The T12 has received a 5 star review in Macworld and was the editors choice.

The original demo unit spent a little time in our house. A little more powerful that the Soundscape (our model), with the same distinct clarity and breadth of sound.

We produced our model in white - and this one is in black. I know there were a number of people that would have prefered a black model, in which case get in contact!

"We’ll be honest – Orbitsound’s latest offering to the premium iPod user's market wowed us all here at Macworld It combines a unique selling point and high-quality audio playback, thanks largely to the powerful bass speaker, making it a compelling option for high-quality digital music playback from an iPod.
The solution consists of the iPod dock-equipped head unit, called ‘the soundbar’, the subwoofer, remote control and cable collection. This carries the iPod dock, status LEDs and outputs for the subwoofer and a set of inputs for an auxiliary source, such as a CD deck or – our favourite – television. The system looks stunning beside a TV - even better, it offers video out, so you can wire your home-entertainment system up to it for video playback from your video-equipped iPod or iPhone. The soundbar measures 54 x 9 x 9.6cm, and the 22.5 x 22.5 x 46cm subwoofer is a passive loudspeaker designed to produce powerful sound at bass frequencies.
The infra-red remote control is large enough not to lose down a gap in the sofa and is also well laid out and simple to use. It lets you switch between the iPod or auxiliary device for sound playback, offers library navigation, bass, treble, fast-forward, rewind, play/pause and volume controls.
What makes the soundbar so effective is its combination of well-thought-out technologies. The stereo sound field is produced by the speakers mounted in the side of the unit, which work with the main signal to produce real stereo sound. The soundbar also hosts the analogue processors, the amplifier and eight loudspeakers.
The shelf-sized speaker is powerful enough on its own, picking up a good amount of musical detail and delivering an impressive quality of playback that's significantly better than a radio receiver or online music streaming service. " Macworld review 5 August 08
