The Sony Remote/Speaker Hybrid

  • PDF

Sony retains a more whimsical side as it presents the SRS-LSR100-- essentially a TV remote grafted on top of a wireless speaker able to receive 2.4GHz signals from a dongle attached to TVs or stereos.

Other uses suggested by Sony include boosting TV sound while indulging in noisy activities (such as cooking or exercising), as aid viewers who might be hard of hearing or soothing babies to sleep.

Features-wise the remote-speaker hybrid includes a headphone jack, large volume knob, auto power-off, drip resistance, minimal sound delay and a rechargeable battery with up to 16 hours of power.

The SRS-LSR100 remote-speaker is available in Sony's home Japan from September 2015. The company gives no word of a European launch as yet, alas.
