Sony launches two new home entertainment audio systems
Japanese consumer electronics giant Sony has expanded its home entertainment audio systems range in India with the launch of MHC-V11 and SHAKE-X30D at Rs 19,990 and Rs 50,990 respectively. Both home audio systems will be available starting August 20 at all Sony Center and major electronic stores across India. Both speakers are enabled with new audio technology from Sony, LDAC that allows users to enjoy highest quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With up to 3x the data transmitted, LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience for all music needs, said the company in a statement. Both speakers offer Karaoke and DJ effects. They even have a built-in vocal fader function that turns down the voice on CDs and two mic input support for group singing. The Shake-X30D offers four different DJ effects — Flanger creates a deep roaring effect; WAH distorts the audio; Isolator singles out a specific frequency band; and PAN sweeps the sound across speakers. One can also use DJ effects with the Fiestable app and gesture control. The speakers are compatible with Sony Music Center App (previously called SongPal) and allow you to control the music systems through smartphone or tablet. The app can also be used to customise sound settings to ensure balanced audio. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth and NFC. Both the MHC-V11 and SHAKE-X30D speakers have LED speaker lights. While the former has blue speaker illumination, the latter come with various colour patterns, ranging from pure white to rainbow. The speakers also have a party chain feature that lets you connect these speakers with other Sony one box audio system to add extra power to the sound system. Recently, LG also launched new line up of three speakers — SJ5 Sound Bar System (Rs 29,990), FJ5 X Boom ‘Party Maker’ (Rs 27,990) and OJ98 X Boom ‘Typhoon’ (Rs 45,999) — in India.
