Sony’s HT-IS100 Bravia Theatre Micro System has gotten a US launch where it will be available in July for around $700.
One big box and five “incredibly” small speakers - the system has three 1080p HDMI inputs with repeater functionality and support for eight channels of uncompressed audio. It’s hard to believe, but the satellite speakers are scarcely as big as a strawberry.
The 5.1 channel system, with 450 watts of power, includes a subwoofer with integrated 32-bit S-Master digital amplifier, Sony’s S-AIR technology and the ability to add optional wireless rear surround speakers and multi-room wireless speakers.
The system also features Digital Media Port, Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, BRAVIA Sync, Dialogue Audio Enhancer and Portable Audio Enhancer - all Sony in-house tech that promises amazing performance.
The system claims to sacrifice nothing in the way of sound and everything in the way of cumbersome space-gobbling size.
Last year Sony had atypically dared to unveil its tubular non-directional prototype speaker and today it has been approved for production and they have managed to put it on the shelf.
Christened as “Sountina” speaker (NSA-PF1), it features a transparent organic glass tube which vibrates and expands sound to 360 degrees.
The 6-foot tall, 50- to 20,000Hz speaker features inputs that include analog RCA and digital coax and optical TOS supporting up to 24bit/96kHz linear PCM (stereo). Specs include a 13-cm subwoofer, 7-cm mid, and organic glass tweeter.
The piece is slated to cost around ¥1,000,000 (about €6,500 / $10,000).
