Xiaomi recently announced the birth of two new smart
TVs namely, the Mi TV 4S 55-inch priced at 2999 Yuan (US$ 477) and the 50-inch Mi
TV 4C priced at 2199 Yuan (US$ 350). Both models have as their selling points an
artificial intelligence voice control and 4K HDR. The TV 4S is also touted to
have a more powerful speaker. Perhaps in order to boost the audio output of its
Smart TV lineup, the Chinese tech guru has now launched an entirely new Mi TV
Speaker.
The Xiaomi TV Speaker comes in white and has a
minimalistic, simple design. The body has a long stripe design and the front of
the speaker is covered with a fabric material. The design also blends with the
TV and all styles of home decor.
It also comes with built-in 8 sound units and this includes
two 20-ball dome tweeters, two 2.5-inch subwoofers and four passive radiators.
The sound frequency response ranges between 50GHz – 2500GHz. The output is
clear and the sound is natural. The interface is also robust and is compatible
with all kinds of TV. In terms of operation, the Xiaomi TV Speaker is designed
to be simple and practicable. There are seven physical buttons at the top of
the bod. The buttons are marked with the
relevant signs such as Volume reduction, Volume increase, Bluetooth, Aux-in
(3.5mm audio), Line in (AV audio), SPDIF (SONY, PHILIPS digital audio
interface), Optical (Optical fiber). The function buttons correspond to the
different mode you choose to use on your smart TV. With this arrangement, users
can easily operate the Speaker without a user manual.
In addition to being used for the Mi TV and other
smart TVs and even older TV models, the Mi TV Speaker can be used while
connected to a mobile phone, computer, projector and many other electronic
devices. This compact and sleek TV Speaker is priced at 399 Yuan (US$ 63) and will
be available from April 3 via Xiaomi Mall, Mi Home.
