Available - Now
IFA - Berlin - 31st August 2012 - sonoro audio, the German design and engineering company of top-quality compact audio solutions, is proud to present troy - a compact desktop speaker system that combines chic design with universal charging for smartphones, tablet PCs and mobile music devices. Available in the UK now, troy has an SRP of £149.00.
A truly universal design, troy boasts two USB sockets for charging different tech, whilst the colour-coded top cover holds your device neatly in place whilst hiding away all of the cables. Audio is supplied from any mobile music device via the auxiliary input using the provided stereo 3.5mm cable. Carefully developed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) combined with a bass reflex port gives troy a powerful yet refined audio quality that belies its compact size.
Weighing just 2 kg, troy is the ideal compact universal charging and music system for any application. Around the home or in the office, troy sits well in any design environment and is available in four felt finishes: Black, Green, Red or Grey.
“troy is a chic all-round speaker system with universal charging and storage,” said Marcell Faller, founder and CEO of sonoro audio GMBH. “The fact that troy can be used with practically any music-playing device such as smartphones, tablet PCs etc. makes it the perfect system for those who value stylish design, high-class finish, balanced audio quality and multi-connection convenience.”
Audio
troy’s universal-input design allows for the connection of practically any music player. Two stereo 3.5mm sockets (one on the bottom and one under the top cover) cater for two sources to be connected at the same time, with a selector switch allowing the user to select which input they listen to. The 3-inch front-mounted speaker drive unit ensures a controlled and tight bass response thanks to the down-firing bass reflex port whilst the integrated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) ensures optimal performance. Volume and power on/off is controlled by the side mounted rotary control.
Universal Charger
troy is a universal charging station with two USB ports located in the secret compartment under the removable top cover. Two devices, such as a smartphone, tablet PC, camera etc., can be connected simultaneously, with one port supplying a 1 amp current for smaller devices and the other offering 2.1 amps for power-hungry devices such as tablet PCs. troy’s on/off control also switches the USB sockets on/off to reduce unnecessary power consumption.
Build and Application
Continuing sonoro’s attention to detail and use of the ideal materials for the application, troy’s speaker cabinet is made of wood, which is the ideal material for high-quality audio performance. Rounded corners stiffen the cabinet, reducing internal resonance, whilst the high-quality plastic top and bottom add strength but not weight. Concealing the top storage compartment, a felt-covered panel features an angled holder on one side to hold tablet PCs at the ideal viewing angle, so that troy can be used in office environments as a tablet PC monitor stand. The top storage compartment completes the design and is ideal for hiding away cable clutter.
The sonoro troy is distributed in the UK by Computers Unlimited and is available from select retailers with a suggested retail price of £149.00. All felt finishes - black, green, red and grey - are available as standard.
