New Loudspeaker Eliminates Distortive Influence
fejrskov writes "The Danish audio/video company 'Bang & Olufsen' announced a new loudspeaker which promises to eliminate the bad influence from walls, floors and ceilings on the sound. This is achieved by using two technologies: ALT (Acoustic Lens Technology) uses sound dispersing lenses to make sound travel equally in all directions. ABC (Adaptive Bass Control) involves sliding a tiny microphone out at the base of the speaker, playing a series of test sounds, and adapting the bass according to the measured acoustic response. Each active loudspeaker contains amplifiers for a total of 2500W (!) output using B&O's patented ICEPower concept. The price? Approximately 55.000 Danish kroner (8.000 Euro) each."
maybe with one of these i could finally get the slashdot editors to pay attention to me and my submitted articles.
A Good Troll is better than a Bad Human.
Try internation standard. Just because the USA does it one way doesn't mean it's right. Why the hell would anyone want to use Farenheit?! Go metric! It's not a coincidence that everyone else in the world uses it!
Wow--only 8.000 euros for the speakers? That's amazing. That's like $11. But what's with the extra significant digits?
"The price? Approximately 55.000 Danish kroner (8.000 Euro) each."
Wow. You know your currency is valuable when they have thousandths. But hey, 8 euros is a pretty good price for this. I'll wait till it comes down a bit more, tho.
