Jean-Michel Jarre Designs 1980s Style iPod Speakers


What do you get when you cross a patio heater, a toy light saber and one of those machines that pops out numbered balls in a lottery draw? If you happen to be electronistical artist Jean-Michel Jarre, then you get this rather odd looking iPod dock/speaker combo.

The AeroSystem (even the name is from the 1980s) is currently available only in France, and costs €450 ($580), complete with iPod-inspired remote control.

Jarre is on a mission to improve music. Not the music he plays, but the music we listen to. He thinks that our MP3 player and notebook computers sound terrible:

In recent years, there has been, particularly for music, a growing gap between the high quality hi-fi systems sophisticated and expensive audiophile speakers and often poor for laptops to listen to music as mp3.

I am convinced that because of the remoteness of growing public support for some physical music (and sometimes the image) is because people have forgotten what the quality of reproduction should be.

How has he remedied this? By making yet another set of iPod speakers, ready to amplify the same crappy MP3 files he was just complaining about. At least he's not trying to get us to return to the Compact Disc. This is, after all, the man whose music was made for the shiny silver platters, back when they were a sparkling glimpse into the future.

Earinc E.A.R z5, 5 in 1 for IEM


The race with the number of drivers in the top-of-the-range sector of will intras seems to be far from condescending to end, and it is not the mark of professional effects E.A.R which will show us the opposite. The mark thus mitonné us a new model in its range Z-Series which could be a small revolution well: Z5 is thus neither more nor less the first model of helmet will intra to use 5 drivers distributed out of 3 ways per ear-phone. Two of them are allocated with the serious register, the third restores médiums and the two last have the load top of spectrum. The EU Pro11 of the mark Ultimate Ears and their 4 unhappy drivers can thus go to repair herself (or perhaps not). More details in the continuation.

Features:
* Frequency response: 20Hz - 18KHz
* Sensitivity: 155dB (!)
* Impedance: 68 Ohms
* Insulation: -24dB
* Accessories: Etuit of arrangement, rag of cleaning, dehumidifier, cary case
* Options: Advanced personalization of the ear-phones, adapter for planes It should be noted that nobody still could test this model and it is thus difficult for the moment to know what that is worth really. It is also far from being guaranteed that the number of drivers brings any improvement, the more so as the last tests carried out by the team of the blog helmet tend to prove that the number of drivers seems to have much less importance than the quality of implementation of the model. A good doubles drivers will be always better than bad triple driver in double low register. Good, that known as for the price, one can nevertheless hope for something of step of it too dégueu. It will be thus 1000$ which will be required of you for the realization of these ears at the very least out of the commun run. And as if it were not expensive enough, it will still be necessary to pour a supplement to make personalize its ear-phones. As much to say that they may find it beneficial to be with the height of waitings. Namely that the mark also sells two other models: Z3 are triple drivers in double low register whereas Z2 are satisfied with 2 drivers. Sold respectively with the prices of 700 and 495$ on the official site of the mark.

HT OMEGA Claro Halo XT 24-bit 192KHz




Công cuộc chinh phục giới khách hàng thưởng thức âm nhạc bằng tai nghe và sử dụng source nguồn là PC lại tiếp tục được khuấy động với sound card kèm amp được thiết kế dành riêng cho tai nghe. HT Omega công bố dòng sound card cao cấp Claro Halo với khả năng chơi với tai nghe có trở kháng đến 600ohms. Theo công bố, chất lượng âm thanh của sound card này mang lại một thế giới khác tinh tế và đầy nhạc tính hơn.

Sử dụng chip xử lý âm thanh C-Media Oxygen HD, sound card này có thế phát với độ nhạy 120dB với khả năng tạo mẫu tần số đến 192kHz trên nền 24bits và giải mã phần cứng trực tiếp source nguồn Dolby Digital Live hoặc SDR Interactive để cho ra khả năng thu âm chất lượng cao. Ngoài khả năng chơi hai kênh thông thường (chắc là vậy), sound card này còn có thể giải mã và giả lập thành âm thanh 7.1 trên các nguồn âm thanh Dolby hiện có tạo ra được môi trường âm thanh 3D.



Điểm chính yếu cho phần chất lượng âm thanh ra headphone được đảm nhận bởi Texas Instrument TPA6120A2 Audio Amplifiers

Với khả năng chuyển đổi OPAMP trên 4 kênh (4 OPAMP) mỗi một kênh âm thanh được chuyển sang 2 DAC AK4396 của Asahi Kasei, loại DAC "thiên thần" theo cách nói của 6Moon đã được sử dụng trong sound card Prelude trước đây của Auzentech. Nhưng lần này khác chút với Prelude, bạn có thể tạo những điều chỉnh riêng cho âm thanh của mình với 4 OPAMP.



Bộ Claro Halo XT có thêm một board con XT làm việc qua kết nối dây tín hiệu của board chính cho bạn đường ra của hệ thống âm thanh 7.1. Và chuyện vẫn còn chưa đủ với HT khi cho thêm 3 OPAMP vào đây để làm loạn phòng làm việc của bạn.

Asus HDAV 1.3 and Essence


Already as several published the article, presently, interview is done in the developer of the Taiwan net bookmaker. Of course, story was heard even in ASUSTeK which is the pioneer of this field, but is, because before that could hear story in the sound card development person in charge of the same company, we convey the pattern. The worldwide first HDMI input equipped sound card which standard of ●BD video 100% is supported.  



The fact that the same company enters into the sound card market is 2007 June. After that, several new product was sold, the sound card “Xonar for PCI Express x1 HDAV 1.3” was announced in September 2008. As for price 200 dollars. Sale of the next few days is planned even in Japan.  The point where largest feature of same product receives the image output from the video card with HDMI, can mix the audio signal there and HDMI can output. Excluding the Radeon HD series of AMD, because the audio controller is not built in, sound is output from HDMI, receiving the aural signal from S/PDIF of onboard audio and the sound card, mixing, it outputs GPU of built-in GPU of Intel and NVIDIA.  



Regarding application such as OS and game, there is no what problem with this method, can output image and sound with HDMI cable 1. But, Blu- ray Disc (BD) it is adopted with video, with Dolby True HD/DTS-HD Master Audio, the bitstream copyright protective function is required the occasion where it outputs. Because of that, with S/PDIF which does not have copyright protective function these aural signals cannot be output.  



With Xonar HDAV in contrast to this, receiving the image signal from the video card, placing sound there, it outputs by way of HDMI. As for the version of HDMI with 1.3a, the above-mentioned loss less audio can be output the bitstream (as for the software of present version in only decoding the loss less audio to correspond to strictness, bitstream output corresponds with future update).


In the image aspect (the necessity of course for the video card to correspond to that is but), corresponds to the color gamut of each color 16bit and the color space of x.v.Color. In addition, it loads the individual image high picture quality conversion circuit “Splendid HD”, color correction and edge enhancement and the rise scale etc of SD image it is possible without applying load on CPU. Furthermore, because the DVI→HDMI conversion cable is done bundled, if the HDCP corresponding video card it can utilize even with DVI.  

The same company designed the audio controller individually “AV200”. We have considered even in the sound quality, controlling the noise the signal due to interference by the fact that the baseplate is designated as 4 layer. In order to avoid the electromagnetic wave from the other equipment, card also the whole sound has been overturned with the special cover. As for signal-noise ratio 120dB. It corresponds to 24bit /192kHz with analog output/input. As for input/output terminal, HDMI 1.3a input and HDMI 1.3a output, RCA analog output ×2, S/PDIF output (same axis and light), microphone input and S/PDIF (light) input.  

6ch (side 2ch+ woofer + center + rear 2ch) the sub baseplate which has RCA output belongs to deluxe version. Loading three operational amplifiers every 2ch in this. Because the operational amplifier is socket system, also it is possible to exchange to those of the taste.  

As for DVD/BD video playback software, “TotalMedia Theatre” of ArcSoft. As for correspondence OS, Windows XP/Vista (32/64bit).


As understood from this specification, this product it is not gaming, high-end HTPC (Home Theater PC) it designates as the target, as for the function, is a match to the high-end BD player. Of course, various noise sources exist in PC, persevere on however much sound card side, the efficiency (the sound quality/picture quality), whether it is something which is a match to the private BD player doubt remains.  

But, role and predominance as the media player and the game platform PC which is you being taken completely in PLAYSTATION 3, could recover predominance even at one with Xonar HDAV 1.3, (as for PLAYSTATION 3 it does not correspond to loss less audio bitstream output) as for thing, it is worthy of to attention probably will be. Sean Lai  

Well, ASUSTeK in the future how probably will keep developing the audio peripheral device. Concerning this point, it could hear interesting story from Sean Lai of the same company product charge senior product manager.  

' From nineties latter halves, the motherboard will reach the point where the audio controller is loaded, now as for on-board ratio almost 100% probably will be possible to say. Because of that, the sound card manufacturer was expelled from the consumer market excluding the Sound Blaster series of Creative which receives support from [gema] of part as still.  

In that situation, the same company to break away the fact that ASUSTeK enters into this market, from the mere motherboard manufacturer, that because to the consumer manufacturer which proposes comprehensive living style now when it grew, the audio equipment being personally owned, that having very it is important you thought you say. The audio equipment referred to here is not the PC peripheral device, it points to real ones such as AV amplifier. According to Lai, as for one primary factor which obtains the appraisal where the Japanese SONY and Panasonic etc are high in the consumer market, you say that there is a point which manages the audio equipment of high efficiency.

But, it enters into the real audio equipment market, brand image in the field is necessary. Then, the fact that the same company developed as a basis to this market, is the case, Xonar series of the sound card.  

The aforementioned sort, the PC sound card market almost has not survived excluding Creative, but as for Lai, as for this that in the sense always there is no the demand, you say. Actually, since the same company announcing the Xonar series 2007 summer, the sale grows with the right shoulder rising.  What release it does, leading other companies and, as one arrival point of the sound card, it corresponded to the loss less audio output of BD video completely, Xonar HDAV 1.3 is. Lai has absolute self-confidence not only the function, regarding the efficiency, signal-noise ratio 120dB.  

By the way, HDMI 1.3a corresponds control of the other equipment with CEC. With ASUSTeK, with [onkiyo], with PC and the AV amplifier etc some cooperation possibility it tried searching concerning this, but because about only the power source ON/OFF of PC it is possible after all, you say that in the latest product it does not make to especially CEC CORRESPOND. Xonar Essence  

Lai announced also “Xonar Essence” especially as a future product. As for this card with the product for real pure audio, as for the terminals stereo RCA and there is the head phone/the microphone only a mini- plug. The Japanese make part which is used with the AV amplifier of [denon] was adopted, signal-noise ratio actualized 124dB. In addition you call the impedance of the head phone that it corresponds to how 600Ω. The design which ancient Chinese of 3000 year ago is made percussion instrument motif is drawn in the cover of EMI measure, as in the product name the question which offers the essence of sound has become concept.



In addition, the same company already, has sold also the high-end head phone and the stereo speaker of USB and analog and S/PDIF connection, but you say that it plans also [saraundosupikashisutemu] on this end of year.  

When the same company produces real audio equipment such as AV amplifier, that when you say, whether you can contend in the Japanese market where the audio principal occupation manufacturer which has the result/established reputation is a large number, so it probably will not go easily. But, when building brand value, in the aspect of the sound quality which becomes the foundation, ASUSTeK inferred that it has tackled rather seriously and could know.  

In addition, there was no thing where Lai mentions that, but, the entry to large size TV and the BD player et. al seeing as the thing which has will, you probably will not be wrong on side of entry to real audio. Latest Xonar as in HDAV 1.3 and Eee PC etc seen, whether the Taiwan manufacturer whose up-to-date trend and adopting technology promptly are proud, in the future some kind of participation is shown it is the pleasure.

Nikon trình làng Media Port UP300X


Chuyện không có gì gây sự chú ý đặc biệt nếu đó là Sony hay Denon đưa ra một tai nghe mới nhưng lần này thì có vẻ lại khác khi một trong những hãng sản xuất máy ảnh và phụ kiện ngành ảnh đưa ra tai nghe mới. Nikon, tên gọi chắc bạn đã biết từ lâu đã giới thiệu trong một buổi họp báo hoành tá tràng để giới thiệu tai nghe Media Port UP (đọc là U,P - không phải UP).

Với thiết kế sơ bộ tai nghe này đúng là một tổ hợp kính thưa các loại hình nghe nhìn kết nối chia sẻ. Cảm nhận sau khi đọc spec của tai nghe này đúng là bạn đang đeo một cái máy PMP trên đầu.

Tai nghe đươc thiết kế khá đẹp với chọn lựa màu đen chủ đạo kết hợp với viền đỏ nhấn nhá thêm. Tai nghe UP300x có bộ nhớ 8GB lớn gấp đôi UP300 có khả năng phát được file WMV9, MPEG-1, MPEG2, MP3, AAC và WMA9. Ngoài ra hai tai nghe này có khả năng kết nối răng xanh và có một màn hình 0.44 ich độ phân giải 640x480, khi được đặt trước mắt có thể thể hiện hình ảnh như đang xem hình trực tiếp từ màn hình 50 inch cách bạn 10 bộ. Là nhà sản xuất có rất nhiều kinh nghiệm trong công tác nghiên cứu màn hình máy ảnh, Nikon thật không làm thất vọng người dùng với những gì hãng hứa cho hình ảnh suất sắc với màn hình bé này.

Chuyện không phải hết khi bạn có kết nối không dây, nghe nhạc và chiếu phim, tai nghe UP300x có bộ cảm biến chuyển động, người dùng có thể điều khiển chuyển bài hát, chuyển phim, tăng giảm volume bằng cách gật gù. Tất nhiên trong trường hợp sái cổ, hãng cũng cho phép người dùng điều khiển các chức năng này bằng tay theo cách thông thường. UP300x được cung cấp khả năng kết nối với các thiết bị phát multimedia khác như điện thoại hay đầu phát qua một bộ terminal riêng, nhưng tiếc thay, lần này là dây cắm vào đầu.... tai nghe. Màn hình của UP300x được thiết kế có thể điều chỉnh tiêu cự mắt người dùng, rất thuận tiện cho khách hàng mang kính.



Hai pin AA có thể giúp bạn xem phim trong vòng hai tiếng hoặc nghe nhạc trong vòng 270 phút.

Spielberg Quits DreamWorks


Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks have officially ended their distribution relationship, and Steven Spielberg is leaving to form a new motion picture company in partnership with Reliance BIG Ent. He will be joined in the venture by Stacey Snider, who hooked up with DreamWorks in 2006 as co-chairman and CEO. DreamWorks principal David Geffen, will not be joining the new company, which is expected to absorb a majority of the DreamWorks staff.

Under the separation agreement, Spielberg’s new company will take the lead on a number of development projects, which Paramount will have the option to co-finance and co-distribute. All other projects currently in development will remain at Paramount, and the Reliance-backed venture will have the opportunity to co-finance several projects that have Spielberg attached. In addition, Spielberg will continue to produce the Transformers franchise for Paramount, and will also collaborate on three other Paramount films including a remake of the sci-fi classic When Worlds Collide.

“Brad [Grey, CEO of Paramount,] is a friend and I am pleased to be able to continue to work with him and his team with whom we have shared many successes,” comments Spielberg. “We have enjoyed a productive creative and business collaboration with Brad, Paramount and Viacom over the past few years and are enthusiastic about extending the relationship for many years to come. And I have a very special thanks to David Geffen for his far-reaching vision that has made it possible for me to steer this new course. His advice and wisdom have always been right on the money. He is a friend for life.”

DreamWorks Animation, which became a separate entity when it went public in October of 2004, will apparently continue to have its films distributed by Paramount. The next is the sequel Madagascar: Escape to Africa, which hits theaters on Nov. 7. The toon shop will make its 3-D debut with the March 27, 2009 opening of Monsters Vs. Aliens.

Sizen iM10 Converts Stereo To 5.1 Surround

While devices like the PSP and the iPhone feature adequately sized screens for watching movies, the pitiful built-in speakers or stereo headphones option means you won’t be enjoying the same surround sound experience you’d get at the theater, or even at home. Or does it? The Sizen iM10 looks to be about the size of 2 stacked iPod Shuffles and claims to upscale regular stereo sound to a 5.1 surround experience. It apparently relies on a “bass and treble reinforcement technology” known as AST coupled with another technology called DBEX to properly ‘balance’ the sound. To be honest I’m not 100% sure how it actually works, and this whiteboard illustration designed to clear things up doesn’t help. But I am curious how the fake 5.1 surround effect actually sounds.

The iM10 uses a built-in lithium polymer rechargeable battery, and on a single 2.5 hour charge you can expect to get about 7.5 hours of use. And it features a mini-USB jack allowing it to be charged from a laptop if needed. It also has 3 different operating modes for regular stereo sound or 2 x 5.1 modes customized for music or movie playback. It will be available in Japan in 6 different colors for about $90.
