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.
i boycott every company that requires flash, because they are lazy inconsiderate bastards
i once went to a computer assembler that required flash... how stupid is that? don't people buying new computers sometimes use old computers? and don't people using old computers sometimes not be able to use flash?
of course, those with new computers running linux are not able to use flash either (i know about that libflash thing but it is a piece of shite and dont work)
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.
