Since the launch of the third generation of Xiaomi TV, the TV industry, which has not been innovated for a long time, has experienced a whirlwind. The split TV model, which is separated from the traditional TV, has attracted wide attention. So will the separation of the display, host and audio really bring a new audio-visual revolution? This reminds me of Jimi's non screen TV. In fact, no matter whether there is a screen or not, the basic demands can be met. So the essence of this contest is whether users can get a more personalized experience.

The recently launched sound scale 60 integrated smart audio [Office1] In fact, it is such a product. It is very similar to the split host and audio combination of Xiaomi TV, with high attention, and won the 2017 German IF Design Award. However, the positioning of the product is fundamentally different from that of the split TV dominated by Xiaomi TV 3. The sound scale 60 focuses more on integrated intelligent systems and high-quality audio experience, Let's review the experience of this product.

Germany IF Design Award Blessing Beauty Burst Table

The sound pound 60 is developed and produced by Beijing Sound Technology Co., Ltd. The previous generation of sound pound 90 integrated intelligent audio [Office2] has made remarkable achievements when it was crowdfunded in 2016. This new product has been built for a year on the basis of the previous one, which can not help but increase expectations.

The package of the product is not small, the overall decoration is relatively simple, the red IF award logo is very eye-catching, the box body is a traditional double-layer corrugated board, the large foam inside is fixed, the sound protection is in place, and the partition between the upper and lower layers is printed with a pictorial list of products and accessories, which is convenient for counting and more humanistic.

Soundbar mainframe and subwoofer are intact, giving the first impression of atmosphere. After all, the 2017 IF Prize winning products must have high appearance value. At present, only gray color matching is available, but it is also versatile, suitable for all kinds of home styles. Other accessories are placed in special accessory boxes.

The products are tall, and the accessories are unambiguous, including power cables and adapters, HDMI high-definition cables, RCA connecting cables, Wifi antennas, remote controls, microphones, batteries, and Mango TV membership cards worth 300 yuan. The quality of wire materials is good, and various accessories are also very considerate. The documents, including instructions, quick guides, warranty cards and certificates, are very complete.

Details originate from meticulous pursuit of ingenuity

Good products look at details. For audio, the design, materials and workmanship of every detail all reflect the pursuit of craftsmanship for quality. In this respect, the sound weight 60 is clearly on the same level with high-quality products. Whether it is simple design style or advanced grey color matching, the whole product looks comfortable, grand and fashionable through the matching of various materials.

The Soundbar host of Sound Scale 60 adopts a strip design. The front side is an oval plane, and the back side is a half cylinder. The size is 714 × 104 × 88mm. A unique elevation angle is formed through the rear C-shaped support, and the sound diffusion effect is better.

The front is covered with hand woven gray cloth. The texture of the woven cloth is unique, which can not only prevent dust from entering the sound cavity, but also ensure the penetration of sound, improve the visual and sound quality experience. The middle is decorated with metal decorative strips of anodizing process, making the product more modern and fashionable.

The back is made of matte plastic shell material, which is in sharp contrast to the front hand cloth. The middle C-shaped support foot and the left and right support points are equipped with rubber gaskets to reduce resonance with the desktop. All jacks are distributed on both sides of the C-shaped support, and common interfaces are covered. Stereo audio input and optical fiber input are very important for audio lovers, while two HDMI input interfaces and one HDMI (ARC) Output, plus two USB interfaces, the external program source equipment and playback are also quite flexible. The network connection modes include network port and wireless, and the standard configuration of Wifi antenna enhances signal reception.

The buttons are designed on the top, and the main function is still for the audio design. You can turn on listening, switch the audio source, and adjust the volume without a remote control.

The barrel shaped subwoofer looks low-key and aggressive, and has a sense of weight. The size is 239 × 327mm. The main body is also covered with hand woven cloth. The upper and lower ends are made of plastic. The back plastic panel is equipped with a phase inversion hole, a Pair key and a power jack.

For the first connection, use Soundbar's listen to key and Pair key to complete the pairing. After starting up, it will automatically connect. There is a power status indicator below the Pair key, which lights up after power on.

As a stereo, the internal loudspeaker unit of sound scale 60 includes a 1-inch silk film unit 2 * 5W, a 2.5-inch full frequency unit 4/50W, and a 6.5-inch subwoofer, The total output power of the Soundbar host and subwoofer is 120W, which is more than enough for ordinary rooms to fully stamp. In addition, excellent DSP digital sound effect processing and 3D surround sound effects, as well as Dolby Audio decoding support, its sound effect is expected.

The intelligent system is simple and easy to operate directly

In this intelligent era, intelligent TV systems have become commonplace, but not many are easy to use. For example, Xiaomi and Weijing have good reputation in this regard. As the TV host product featuring all-in-one intelligent audio, the sound scale 60 is relatively simple and straightforward in terms of intelligent systems, but it is also very characteristic.

The connection of the sound scale 60 is actually very simple. Install a Wifi antenna, connect the HDMI cable to the display device, connect the Soundbar host and the subwoofer, and pair the subwoofer with the host after starting up.

After starting up, the red status light in the middle of Soundbar host turns green, and the display screen is displayed as the system home page. Like many TV OSs, the home page is an aggregation page of various hot resources, and the bottom is a category menu. From the logo of Mango TV in the upper left corner and the gift of Mango TV membership card, we can see that there is a deep cooperation between sound scales and them.

The remote control of the sound scale 60 can be operated easily through the deep combination with the "matrix" system developed by the host based on Android 4.4. From the perspective of use, this remote control also reflects the focus on the audio function. In addition to the ordinary control keys, it also includes the sound effect keys, sound scale smart keys, listening, subwoofer volume, and microphone volume and reverberation adjustment functions, The functions are quite rich.

The operation of the system is smooth. In addition to the aggregation page on the home page, there is a shortcut function menu on the far right, including a number of practical functions such as one button speed measurement and one button acceleration. The media center can open external USB flash drives to play the contents. In fact, other menu pages are in cooperation with special content providers. Click to enter a special APP. For example, film and television is Mango TV, Music is Migu, radio is Himalaya, and game is XiaoY. The advantage of this is that you can quickly form content aggregation and focus on your own sound. The disadvantage is that you don't have the right to decide the content. What APP pushes is what you want. However, for many smart TV users, the system's own resources are basically better than nothing. After all, what you like to wear is more comfortable.

The setting menu is divided into six items, which looks pretty cool. However, after entering the page, I found that it is just an entrance to the original settings. I get used to the settings of mobile phones, but I will feel a little friendly. However, this also reflects that the system has not been developed in depth. For ordinary TV users, this interface is slightly professional and lacks a little affinity, However, subsequent iterative updates should make the "matrix" system more perfect.

However, as an intelligent audio product, Sound Scale 60 has a powerful APP function. You can find the device connection under the same Wifi of the host computer. The entire APP interface is very simple and beautiful. In addition to multiple remote control modes, selecting various audio sources, it also has the functions of audio and video resource push, voice broadcast, setting timed shutdown, and can call out the mouse mode for fine click operations, This is much more powerful than many so-called smart TV apps.

Delicate experience starts from sound scale

For ordinary wage earners, they don't have much time to go to the cinema KTV、 The game hall, and the home video entertainment, a TV is obviously not enough. The sound pound 60 is to seize this market opportunity to provide users with more value-added functions based on sound.

Since the Soundbar host and subwoofer are connected wirelessly, there are no special requirements for the placement of the two. As long as you feel the effect is good, they can be placed next to the TV cabinet or the sofa.

It is very convenient to push audio and video programs from the mobile phone APP or directly play them on demand from the system. Especially when watching movies and TV plays, you can obviously feel the sound hierarchy and rich details. Compared with ordinary TV, the effect has been greatly improved. In addition to the stereo surround technology, when you turn on the subwoofer, you can fully feel the kind of shocking effect that only cinemas have.

Mango TV's video source is also rich in quantity. If it is combined with live broadcast applications, as long as the network speed is fast enough, it can be used as a TV and save hundreds of yuan per month. Why not.

Of course, don't underestimate the hardware level of Sound Scale 60. 4K video still plays smoothly. As long as you have enough movie sources, USB playback, and mobile hard disk playback, you can watch as you like. If there is projection, HDMI cable is long enough, and you can set up a home theater every minute. If you want to struggle, you can also struggle with AUX and optical fiber input.

When it comes to entertainment, karaoke is absolutely necessary. The sound scale 60 has such good hardware conditions. Of course, you need to show your voice with a microphone. In terms of sound effects, the sound scale 60 has built-in standards, music KTV、 The four preset modes of the movie can also be adjusted manually according to your own needs. For example, the volume and reverberation of the microphone can also be adjusted through the remote control. Various settings have a professional taste. The system's own karaoke software comes from Migu, and the amount of resources is quite correct.

Games are also an indispensable part of family entertainment. Although the memory of Soundpoint 60 is not large, it is quite comfortable to download some small games and play them occasionally. You can also use the game keyboard or handle on your mobile phone to operate in a variety of ways. Of course, some friends have downloaded the King's Glory and can play it.

The combination of the DSP electronic frequency division dynamic management chip and the subwoofer developed exclusively brings a shocking sound effect. Through the customized "matrix" system, the network set-top box and the sound are integrated to create a set of convenient and easy-to-use home entertainment equipment, whether watching video, Still listening to music can bring high audio-visual enjoyment.
