Today, everything is sizing down. Especially the nano technology is simply hot round the corner. But once you size down a product, the difficulty is to ensure its quality, which it should carry similar quality with the older and bigger version.
Anyway, Panasonic seems to be pretty quick in picking up this concept and have applied it to their speaker products. As we all know that speaker with small size will come with pretty weak sound. But the newly designed speakers of Panasonic seem to work the other way round. With its compact size, it’s claimed to be able to produce high-fidelity bass, by means of new method so-called Nano Bass Exciter.
The Nano Bass Exciter method uses porous carbon inside the speaker enclosure to create an acoustic environment that allows the creation of beautiful low-end sound. When a bass note is produced, the speaker’s nanometer-sized poles will absorb the air to cause a sudden drop of the pressure inside its chamber, which results of a bigger room for its diaphragm to move. This gives similar effect as seen in bigger woofer. Therefore, better quality of low sounds. When this technology really takes off, it surely means hi-fi sound on our mobile isn’t a dream anymore.

[...] Another body that claims to be developing ways of getting more from less is Panasonic. They have developed a miniature Nano Bass Exciter system that supposedly can “reproduce low-end sound equivalent to that emitted by conventional speakers with larger cabinet volume.” The small speakers contain a porous carbon material which absorbs air, thereby reducing the pressure within the speaker enclosure and allowing the diaphragm to generate a more powerful bass sound. This is the theory, at any rate; it remains to be seen if the actual product is anything to get excited about. I wouldn’t be expecting mobile phone boom boxes any time soon… Share this Post: [...]
