Orbitsound’s Spatial Stereo Tech-Creating T14 Soundbar and Dock Hits US Late This Year [Soundbars]

Previously unattainable by those outside its home-country, British audio company Orbitsound has a follow-up product to last year’s T12 soundbar, the T14. Created by eccentric British musician Ted Fletcher (who’s worked with Elton John and The Who), it’ll cost $600.

Full details are below inside the press release, but if you’re not acquainted with this spatial stereo technology Orbitsound’s products use, it basically eradicates the desire for a ” sweet spot,” as it beams the audio out around it, in a pseudo-surround sound style. It’s not for everyone, but I actually liked how it worked with the T12 .

It comes with an O-dock for wirelessly sending audio from iPhones and iPods, and there’s also the apparent aux-input inside the dock for other sources too. It’ll go on sale all over later this year, with america pricing marked at $600. [ Beam ]

CES, Las Vegas, USA, 1600 PST, 4 January 2011: Acclaimed British audio technology brand Orbitsound is proud to announce the T14 soundbar, its first global launch and its North American debut. Featuring groundbreaking ‘industry first’ audio technology and wireless capability, this powerful, class leading sound system will bring cinema-quality sound into the home. The T14 prototype can be showcased, for the first time, at CES Unveiled in Las Vegas.

Since its revolutionary spatial stereo technology was unveiled at CES in 2008, Orbitsound has gone from strength to strength and is currently experiencing unprecedented sales of its T12 soundbar product through stores within the UK. Orbitsound is confident that the launch of the T14 may help to duplicate this success in North America and other global markets.

The stunning T14 stands with the exception of other sound systems because of Orbitsound’s now renowned patented spatial stereo technology where, unlike ordinary stereo, there’s no should be within the ‘sweet spot’ to get the total effect. The T14 also features another industry first; a studio class amplifier design that has been eight years in development inside the company’s R&D HQ inside the UK. The amplifier senses acoustic conditions and the performance then automatically adjusts itself seamlessly to the room and acoustic environment. There is nothing to deploy and the outcome is a wide audio response and fantastic clarity and consistency across every type of sound and music.

Orbitsound’s new T14 also features wireless network streaming. This permits users to broadcast their music directly to the device without the desire for a transmitter or wires via a remote ‘o-dock’ for iPod or iPhone. The o-dock also features an aux input for wirelessly connecting a TV, PC or laptop to the T14. This effectively provides a flexible and high fidelity entertainment solution that’s simple to exploit and without complex wiring and connections.

The team behind Orbitsound includes Ted Fletcher, a former musician and renowned audio electronics designer, who has previously worked with Joe Meek, The Eagles and Elton John. Former investment bankers Harvinder Hungin (Executive Chairman) and John Cameron (COO) are hooked in to business and have proven successful across several sectors.

Harvinder Hungin comments, ” Orbitsound is poised for substantial growth in 2011 with ambitious expansion plans for North America and beyond.’ Hungin continues, ‘Our game changing, patented spatial stereo technology embedded inside the new T14 soundbar delivers high definition, stunning sound to accompany the high definition pictures of the newest HD and 3D TVs. Its state-of-the-art wireless connectivity also removes the problem of clutter, often associated with many traditional 5.1 systems. The T14 is basically the quintessential modern, powerful home entertainment sound system for latest living.”

The T14 includes a high gloss black lacquer finish and has the additional advantage of being wall mountable. Featuring six 2.5 ” full range high fidelity drivers, the amplifier power is 120W RMS and the primary unit comes with a wireless-linked subwoofer with integrated digital amplifier. The T14 also includes both 3.5mm stereo & RCA analogue jacks and inputs for the newest digital TVs, MP3/MP4 players, laptop & desktop computers and games consoles. The fashionable remote control unit controls all playback options and menu functions in addition as volume, source and tone.

The Orbitsound T14 soundbar will cost approx. $600 and may be available globally in Q3 2011. For additional info about Orbitsound, visit www.orbitsound.com.
