Music revolution in the living room !? Panasonic's one-box speaker "SC-UA7"

One-box speakers are interesting!

Looking back on this year's series, the number of audio-related products has increased considerably. When the high-resolution boom has gradually settled down, non-high-resolution products are becoming more and more interesting as the degree of freedom in thinking increases.

Until now, when it comes to speaker systems, the so-called "stereo speakers", in which the left and right speakers are naturally separated from each other, have been the mainstream. This is no exception even if it is a small Bluetooth speaker, and even if it is small, there are separate left and right speakers. There is also a monaural speaker, but it was rather a role as an entry model for less than 10,000 yen.

Recently, however, products that do not separate the speaker from side to side and spread the sound from the point are attracting attention. BOSE's "SoundLink Revolve", which I introduced before, took an approach of spreading the sound by constructing a stereo image of the sound and spreading the sound around instead of expressing the sound space within that range. ..

What is good about these products is that they are lifestyle-proposing products that can be placed anywhere without worrying about the installation location, and if you place them, you will be able to see a new life. In other words, there is no space left for the stereo speakers to be set correctly in the modern living space. In that sense, it is an area where it is necessary to reset the way of thinking first.

Panasonic's wireless speaker system "SC-UA7" introduced this time is also a new type of product that has never been seen before, including its scale. The 2.1ch threadeo speakers, including the subwoofer, are all stacked vertically, which is also a kind of one-box speaker. It will be released on September 8th, and the price is open price. The estimated retail price is around 80,000 yen.

Let's try SC-UA7, which changes the point of contact with music.
