Sony has launched two new speakers in China including the flagship SRS-RA5000 high-resolution Bluetooth speaker which adopts a unique design. One unique thing about the Sony SRS-RA5000’s design is that it looks like a 3-blade electric shaver. The speaker is priced at 4499 yuan (US$ 707).
Sony describes the SRS-RA5000 to have
gotten its design inspiration from the design of the home theater system in
terms of the arrangement of the speakers. The wireless speaker crams a total of
7 speakers inside. Apart from having multiple speakers, the speakers are
arranged in such a way as to provide a 6.1-channel surround sound effect.
Further, it is equipped with an advanced
version of S-Master HX digital amplifier technology, which supports higher
sampling rate music as well as a DSEE HX digital sound enhancement engine to
boost non-Hi-Res sound source to a level close to Hi-Res. In addition, the
SRS-RA5000 also uses high-performance neodymium magnets and mica fiber
diaphragm materials, resulting in lower sound distortion.
The speaker adopts a gold and black color
mix and supports a 3.5mm wired connection, Bluetooth connection, and QPlay for
music playback in Wi-Fi mode. At the same time, the SRS-RA5000 also supports
NFC quick connection. The company also unveiled the less powerful but equally
high-quality SRS-RA3000 Bluetooth speaker that is expected to retail for 2,499
yuan (US$ 393).
