Kenneth Armstrong writes: Today Altec Lansing announced their bizarrely named iMmini (no that's not a typo; I checked 8 times) speakers for iPod mini. It is similar in styling to their InMotion Speakers for iPod, but about 40% smaller.

"We're delighted that Altec Lansing is bringing out another breakthrough accessory with the iMmini to provide a great sound system designed specifically for the incredibly successful iPod mini." said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Hardware Product Marketing. (The press release doesn't mention what industrial plastics were insufflated before approving the name.)

The iMmini is priced at $129.95 and will be available "late summer" at the Apple online store as well as at their brick-and-mortar stores.

Note: The link points to ones in Paris, see the sidebar for those outside the Île-de-France. For the non-French speakers out there, it's a list of "The 100 best 30 € and under bistros." I've been to two on the Paris list so far this visit: L'Ami Marcel (which was mentioned in the April 2005 Gourmet article "The Bistro Boom"); and L'Epi Dupin. Both were very good and I'd recommend either for a lovely meal. And see, if I were less lazy, I would have written posts about eating there! As penance, if my dinning companions post about the meals, I promise to make the appropriate links.

Rio Japan Wireless Speakers

Rio Japan Wireless Speakers 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

I think we can all get with wireless connections to our speakers from our portable music players—it's mostly pointless, but potentially handy, what with the ability to switch songs around from your pocket (I tried this for a while with an iPod and an iTrip, until I found myself virtually tethered, always turning to get the best transmission, which sort of defeats the purpose). So these new speakers from Rio Japan are a fine idea, even if the dongle that is designed to plug into the Rio Carbon is almost as big as the player itself. The reflector on the top of the speakers, with the Rio logo silk-screened onto it to float in the air... that's a bit much, really. But wireless is good—this $400 speaker set will surely make some Rio fan very happy.

Can You Turn Your Head Into Speakers? 11/03/2003 04:24 AM
Roland Piquepaille writes "This is not a joke. You can do it today, according to this article from Fortune, "Metal Heads." It states that a small company based in Iowa has developed products made with a "smart" metal that can turn your walls or your head into speakers. "Last August, Etrema -- an innovative technology firm nestled in the cornfields of Ames, Iowa -- started selling those chrome discs for $1,500 a pair. Called Whispering Windows, they can turn any wall, window, or drab conference table into a speaker." The author tried the technology, and even if she needed a full bottle of Tylenol after usage, said "it's not every day that your head serves as a piece of stereo equipment." This overview on my blog tells you more about this "magic" metal, the Terfenol, which is a combination of terbium and dysprosium. The article also says that we can soon expect pirated versions of Terfenol coming from China. "

Bose SoundDock: iPod Speaker System

Sound Quality For Its Size 12/30/2004 08:55 AM

At $300, the SoundDock is more expensive than competing systems. However, it's currently the best sounding of the all-in-one speaker systems we've tested, and its uncluttered elegance and ease of use make it an appealing offering for those willing to plunk down the change. By Dan Frakes, Macworld

Bose SoundDock for iPod

Bose SoundDock for iPod 09/27/2004 09:04 AM

There is a certain poetry when Apple and Bose team up in offering the new SoundDock digital music system. It's basically yet another dock with a pair of speakers attached to it, something we're not in the least opposed to, but it does set one to wonder what happens when blowhards like Bose work with blowhards like Apple to "elevate your iPod listening to a whole new level."

Do both Reality Distortion Fields cancel each other out? Is it possible this $300 set of speakers is actually a good product? I'm not sure I'm man enough to find out.

Klipsch will soon be shipping their new 2.1 channel iPod speaker system, called the iFi) for a bit more than the cost of two of their comparable ProMedia 2.1 systems. The allure, of course, is its simple silver sheen and the included iPod dock. The dock makes it compatible with the iPod, mini and iPod photo and will charge your player in its spare time. Also included is a wireless remote control. The speakers are magnetically shielded and the subwoofer provides up to 200 watts of peak system power. It's $400 (plus about $60 for shipping) and available for preorder, shipping very soon, so they say.

Bose Suspension System

Bose Suspension System 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

That's right. Bose.

The latest trick coming from the 74 year old Dr. Amar Bose is an active suspension system; the Bose Suspension System. It's been in development since 1980, and so far they've only got it on a 1994 Lexus test mule, but rumor has it that Cadillac may offer the Bose system as an option on an upcoming car.

The proprietary Bose suspension system couples linear electromagnetic motors and power amplifiers with a set of unique control algorithms. For the first time, it is possible to have, in the same automobile, a much smoother ride than in any luxury sedan and less roll and pitch than in any sports car. The Bose research vehicle provides superior comfort by gliding smoothly over bumpy roads and superior control by keeping the car body level during aggressive maneuvers.

When you think about it, it's not that much of a stretch for an outfit like Bose to go from speakers to automobile suspensions. A speaker is essentially a linear motor that uses electromagnetism to move a speaker coil to produce sound waves; the suspension Dr. Bose has assembled uses four linear motors that basically use the same principle to keep the car on an even keel, no matter how the driver and road thrash the thing.

We've talked about the inherent problems of sophisticated electronic systems in vehicles before, and I don't think I'd want something like this in my car... At least not until the technology has matured for several years. Stories of Land Rover suspension systems failing at high speeds and causing deadly accidents is enough to make me want to stick with plain old shocks and struts.

The January print issue of Motor Trend has a brief article on it, but a more extensive writeup online, complete with a video of the test mule in action. In the grand finale, the Lexus actually jumps over a 2x6 on edge at 35mph!

Bose Personalized Amplification System

Bose Personalized Amplification System 02/11/2004 01:51 PM

Ever gone to a concert where it's so loud you think you're ears will start bleeding, and in spite of the volume level you can't understand the lyrics? Dr. Amar Bose and his namesake, Bose Corportation, are trying to change all that, and change the entire amplified performance paradigm with their new Personalized Amplification System (PAS.)

Bose's approach to solving this problem is pretty radical, and at the same time surprisingly simple. It involves nothing less than, as they put it, “changing the fundamental properties of loudspeakers,” and yet the idea, once it's explained, seems obvious.

The company's new product is called the Cylindrical Radiator Loudspeaker. Two dozen or so (we weren't allowed to peek inside the units) small drivers are arranged vertically in a flagpole-like structure about 3.5 inches in diameter and seven feet high, which is set into a floor stand. The arrangement of the drivers is designed to eliminate all vertical dispersion: The sound is projected forward and in a 180° arc horizontally, but there's nothing projecting above the top of the column and nothing bouncing off the floor.

The most obvious effect is that, in theory at least, the sound is transferred to the room much more efficiently than with a standard spherical-front speaker. In fact, we were invited to walk directly toward the speaker from across a large room while a guitarist played, and observed that the difference in sound level as we approached was remarkably small, even when we put our ears right up to the speaker. Therefore, musicians can play at lower levels and still fill a space. Vocals sent through the system can be loud enough to project, but the potential for feedback is greatly reduced.

(quoted from a MixOnline article)

The Cylindrical Radiator speaker is placed behind the performer on the stage, providing sound for both the performer and the audience. This is a total departure from the traditional amplified sound system, which requires separate amplifiers & speakers for the audience and the performers, a mixing console, miles of cabling, and a sound technician to make it all work, and even then it often works poorly. The PAS returns simplicity to the idea of amplified music performances, and makes for a much more natural sound coming from the stage, with the amplified sound from each performer coming from where that performer is on the stage. According to many posters on Bose's online forum, the system is also ideal for DJ's and playback of recorded music.

This is an answer to many prayers from frustrated performers and sound techs alike, tired of overly complicated systems for small to medium-sized rooms, not to mention concert-goers who feel the need to bring ear plugs along.

Look for the PAS to show up on stage at a nightclub or church near you.

It won't be out until August, but SDI Technologies are already pushign their iH5 Alarm Clock, most notable for its built-in iPod docking station. They also claim that the iH5's 'Reason8' (get it?) speaker chamber (get it now?) will help provide a decent enough sound that you'll even use the iH5 when you aren't trying to wake up. It addition to the ability to 'Wake to iPod,' the iH5 also features the standard AM/FM radio and alarms you've learned to hate.

Make every morning an "I've Got You, Babe" morning in August for just $100.
