Sony audio system with CarPlay

20.08.2016

Sony has unveiled its first in-car audio system to support Apple's CarPlay platform, which allows iOS technology to be used in the car without distracting the driver from controlling their smartphone.

The XAV-AX100 audio system, the company claims, offers "everything you need" for long-distance driving, including smartphone connectivity, high-quality sound reproduction, and voice command functionality. Following Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, JBL, and Pioneer, Sony is one of the latest companies to enter the CarPlay-enabled system market.

Thanks to support for the CarPlay platform, car enthusiasts who install the new Sony audio system will have access to Apple Maps, Apple Music, make phone calls, send text messages, and control various functions using the voice assistant Siri. The XAV-AX100 audio system is also compatible with the CarPlay alternative, the Android Auto platform.

Dynamic Reality Amp 2 with 4 x 55W output power and EXTRA BASS technology overrides engine noise and reproduces clear sound at any volume level with deep and punchy bass. The audio system's 10-band graphic equalizer provides a variety of sounds. The diagonal of the touch screen of the audio system is 6,4 inches, the resolution is 800 x 480 pixels.

The Sony XAV-AX100 audio system will go on sale in November for $500.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

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, ... >>

Asus Xonar D-KARAX sound card for karaoke lovers 01.12.2013

The Asus range has been expanded with the Xonar D-KARAX sound card, according to the manufacturer, "a professional-grade sound card designed for enthusiasts who love to sing and share their recordings on the Internet."

A feature of the novelty is the ability to correct vocals when recording in real time. The PCIe card supports 24-bit 96kHz audio playback, real-time audio processing, and eight-channel audio (7.1). The signal-to-noise ratio is claimed to be 106 dB.

The Asus Xonar D-KARAX user has access to a variety of sound effects. At the same time, using the map is very simple, since the bundled software has a clear interface. Applying effects requires one click, and for many genres of music, the program has pre-configured profiles.

The card is based on the C-Media CMI8786 sound processor, and the Cirrus Logic CS47028 chip is used as a DAC. The mounting plate has four analog outputs (3,5 mm connectors), line and microphone inputs (also 3,5 mm) and an optical S/PDIF output. The board itself, measuring 108 x 178 mm, has pin connectors for connecting to the connectors of the I / O panel, S / PDIF and an additional analog input.
