Omnidirectional speaker system Archt One

07.11.2014

Archt Audio has created a new type of loudspeaker called the One, which is said to provide uniform omnidirectional sound with a single wireless module.

The secret of the system is the proprietary patented Sound Array technology. It, as the creators note, in a special way changes the parameters of acoustic dispersion, due to which "amazing surround sound" is achieved.

Archt One has a conical shape. The device is equipped with a 3-inch full-range speaker, 4,7-inch subwoofer and 6-inch passive radiator. In addition, the design includes a two-channel amplifier with a power of 50 W and a digital signal processor. The height of the novelty is about 430 mm, weight - 3,64 kg.

The system can receive audio via Bluetooth 4.0 or Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. In addition, there is a USB port and a standard 3,5mm audio jack. Archt One can form multi-room acoustic configurations.

To control the system, you can use the capacitive buttons on the device itself or a mobile application for the iOS operating system. The program also serves for calibration.

Currently, the developers of Archt One are raising funds for the release of new items using Kickstarter. About $100 has already been received, although $70 was originally announced. The project will be funded for another 40 days. Those who wish can order a speaker system at a price of $350; deliveries should begin in January-February 2015.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Turbocharged GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Turbo graphics card 16.10.2021

Taiwanese company ASUS has introduced a new graphics card GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Turbo. The model received a cooling system with a tangential-type fan, popularly known as a "turbine".

An 80mm Blower Fan with two ball bearings and a long working life is installed here. The novelty is based on the NVIDIA GA104-400 graphics processor with a base frequency of 1575 MHz and a Turbo frequency of 1770 MHz. The graphics processor is complemented by 8 GB of GDDR6X video memory with a 256-bit bus and a bandwidth of 19 Gb / s.

ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Turbo is equipped with two eight-pin power connectors and is suitable for use in compact computer cases. The dimensions of the device are 268 x 113 x 39 millimeters. To increase the reliability of the video card, the manufacturer uses automated soldering of parts in one stage using Auto-Extreme Technology. The mounting bracket is reinforced with 304 stainless steel.
