Gadgets of the week - Sunday Times

Hubert put together what is now the T12 last year. It is now on sale in Harrods, John Lewis, and Amazon. Reviews have been very positive, including the following from the Sunday Times.

"WHAT IS IT? This British-designed speaker system provides stereo sound from a single speaker housed in a smart bar-shaped cabinet. Many rival television sound bars employ digital trickery to provide the illusion of surround sound from a single cabinet that contains multiple speakers, but the Orbitsound does not take this approach. Instead, it reengineers the principles of stereo reproduction to provide a true stereo sound field from a single compact enclosure that is uniform throughout the room rather than having one sweet spot. This, of course, sounds like nonsense, but InGear has tested one and it worked well, whether connected to a television source or using the built-in iPod dock.

SHOULD I BUY ONE? If you opt for a sound bar to sit under your TV, it’s academic exactly how many speakers are housed within it. Even so, this innovative, well-made kit is powerful yet easy on the ear. "

They do identify the key problem about new technology - when you explain Airsound to someone you can get:

Its not possible (and I know my stuff)
or
I don't care (I dont listen to sound, and I am not that interested)

As the article above says - it worked well - but if you need to hear a demonstration and you don't live near to Harrods, we would happily arrange one for you if you live in the Wiltshire/M4 corridor.

We do have an offer on the T12 at the moment. To find out more visit

DIAS MUSIC LAUNCHES NEW SOUND SYSTEM

08:00 - 27 April 2007

Revolutionary new sound system has been launched by entrepreneurs based in Chippenham.

Dias Music yesterday launched the Airsound speaker system, which acts as a single speaker alternative to surround sound.

The new system is being promoted by former Department of Trade and Industry business mentor Roger Croft and designer Hubert Dias, who is already involved in research and development for the next model in the series.

The Airsound speaker is currently only being sold through the Dias Music website, but the firm is planning to expand and offer demonstrations through agents across the UK.

Mr Croft said: "We are the first people to bring this sound on to the market and we have worked very closely with the inventor to do that.

"The advantage of the Airsound is you get a spatial feeling which you wouldn't get from two speakers.

"As you move around the room the sound stays with you.

"It will suit people who move around a lot and anyone who feels they have lost their living room to the demands of their children wanting to watch television."
