Sony’s Newest Offer, S-Air Speaker, Is Either A Streaming Speaker (Sweet) or A Wireless Speak (Weak)
February 27th, 2008
Sony announced a barrage of products a few days ago. One of the more notable additions to their line up (at least I think so) was the S-Air Speaker system that allowed wireless streaming of music into any room (up to 164) from a Sony compatible system. But is it streaming or is it just a chincy wireless speaker (AIR-SA10) with a clock and a few other options on it? The Sony Style website doesn't have specs so I really don't know. If its streaming then the audio will be tighter since the signal will be digital and converted at the S-Air Speaker. If it's not, and just a boring old wireless speaker, again minus the clock, then the sound quality will probably blow because the signal has to go through multiple translation of digital to analog - this degrades the sound quality, - as opposed to once in the streaming case. Looking closer at the on screen display, there appears to be a signal bar indicating the former.
More info here and will be available March 28th for $120.
