Q Acoustics launches the 3000i series-- a selection of stereo and home cinema speakers featuring a combination of stand-mount, floorstanding and centre channel models.
An upgrade of the 3000 series, the 3000i range offers five models. All promise a significant upgrade over their predecessors, with taller and deeper designs allowing enhanced bass response. Tweeters are decoupled using a suspension system, and the mid-bass woofer sits in a rubber surround to provide better imaging and stereo presentation.
The series consists of the PRO-14RC in-ceiling speaker designed to size match the diameter of recessed can lights, the PRO-14RW 4-inch in-wall speaker and the PRO-24-RW-LCR dual 4-inch in-wall left, centre, right (LCR) speaker. The small aperture speakers are designed to reproduce Klipsch Reference component speaker acoustics, and use core components from the line.
The company does not specificy which assistants the P6 supports, meaning it probably depends on what is running on the smartphone it is connected to. Meanwhile the 360-degree audio (or "True360," as B&O calls it) comes from stereo speakers facing opposite directions, filling the area with sound.
Rockustics announces the MusicGarden landscape loudspeakers-- a package including four MG4 satellite speakers and one MG SUB8 subwoofer, with the option of adding more MG4 satellites to expand the system.
As Pitchfork reports, Rebeat recently received $4.8 million in funding for the initiative. Based on a patent first filed back in 2016, HD vinyl involves converting audio into a 3D topographic map, before etching said map on the vinyl via laser. The result, according to Rebeat, is LPs with up to 30% more playing time, 30% more amplitude and "overall more faithful sound reproduction."
