Tower 70 White Wireless Speaker

Ich hatte mich schon auf den ersten Blick in diese Funklautsprecher verliebt. Aber Design ist das eine – es ist Geschmacksache und nützt nichts, wenn ansonsten nichts hinhaut. Aber so wie das Designs es mir angetan hat, haben sie mich auch ansonsten überzeugt. Die Bedienung ist ganz einfach. Man steckt die Lautsprecher per Kabel an oder setzt 6 AA (R6) Batterien ein und schaltet sie ein. Eine blaue LED Leiste peppt dann das Design noch mal auf. Der Sender besitzt zwei LED Leuchten – eine zeigt an ob der Sender eingeschalten ist, der andere, ob eine Verbindung besteht. An den Sender kommt das Gerät, von dem aus die Musik kommt – Zum Beispiel das Smartphone oder ein MP3 Player. Alle Kabel die dazu benötigt werden, befinden sich im Lieferumfang! Praktisch an den Boxen ist, dass man sie hochkant oder längs hinstellen kann – oder man befestigt sie einfach dank der Vorrichtung auf dem Rücken der Lautsprecher, an der Wand. Die Fernbedienung macht es in jedem Fall zu einer bequemen Sache. Mit ihr kann man die Lautstärke regeln und vor und zurückschalten. Außerdem kann man auch die Boxen selbst einzeln regulieren – und sogar ein und ausschalten. Die Soundqualität ist für meinen Geschmack sehr gut. Wenn man alles komplett auf 100% aufdreht, kommt es vor, dass es leicht scheppert, was sich aber stark in Grenzen hält und vermutlich von dem doch recht leichten Gewicht kommt – entsprechend leicht werden eben die Vibrationen auf die Lautsprecher selbst übertragen. Dennoch wandern sie nicht, da die gummierten Füße den Boxen guten Halt geben. Und ich denke mit etwas Geschick, kann man das auch ganz vermeiden.

I fell in love with these wireless speakers at first sight. But design is one thing - it's a matter of taste and is of no use if nothing else works. But just as I liked the design, they also won me over in other ways. They are very easy to use. You plug the speakers in using a cable or insert 6 AA (R6) batteries and switch them on. A blue LED strip livens up the design even more. The transmitter has two LED lights - one shows whether the transmitter is switched on, the other whether a connection exists. The device from which the music is coming is connected to the transmitter - for example, the smartphone or an MP3 player. All the cables you need are included in the delivery! The practical thing about the speakers is that you can stand them upright or lengthways - or you can simply attach them to the wall thanks to the device on the back of the speakers. The remote control makes it a convenient thing in any case. You can use it to adjust the volume and switch back and forth. You can also adjust the speakers themselves individually - and even switch them on and off. The sound quality is very good for my taste. If you turn everything up to 100%, it does rattle a little, but this is very limited and is probably due to the relatively light weight - the vibrations are therefore easily transferred to the speakers themselves. However, they don't move because the rubber feet give the speakers good support. And I think with a little skill, you can avoid this altogether.

Chiunque abbia mai provato un sistema audio bluetooth sa quanto possa essere comodo e con una trasmissione relativamente stabile, soprattutto nell'attuale versione 4.1. Tuttavia, già a ridosso di 10 metri, il segnale comincia a perdere colpi, col risultato di trasmissioni a singhiozzo o interruzione del servizio. Un sistema apparentemente vetusto ma decisamente funzionale come quello di questa coppia di speaker wireless, ricevuti in prova gratuita pe poterli recensirei in modo obiettivo. Nella loro semplicità concettuale sembrano essere la soluzione per chi, volutamente o per necessità, sia costretto a posizionare le casse a distanza tra loro e/o dalla fonte. Vediamo perché nella lista di... PRO! :) - Raggio d'azione fino a cinque volte più ampio rispetto ai sistemi bluetooth - Possibilità di alimentare gli speaker sia tramite corrente elettrica che tramite batterie stilo. Tuttavia sarà necessario ricaricarle tramite sistemi esterni, non essendo le casse progettate per una ricarica diretta. - Stile a clessidra degli speaker, elegante anche per un salone - Dotazione completa, tra cavi e adattatori - Funzionamento elementare, basta collegare la trasmittente alla fonte audio tramite uscita AUX. - Presenza del telecomando (utile soprattutto se gli autoparlanti vengono posti in alto o lontano) - Qualità audio soddisfacente, se si considera la distanza potenziale di trasmissione anche se... CONTRO! :( - ...a volte qualche interferenza di troppo può dare fastidio. - Materiali costruttivi non memorabili - Prezzo un po' più alto del dovuto, a mio parere. CONCLUSIONI Dovrebbero costare un po' meno dei 110 euro di fine Novembre 2015 ma qualora si cerchi un sistema audio alternativo al bluetooth possono rappresentare una buona alternativa, potendo posizionare entrambi anche a distanza notevole. Vengono recapitati dalla Germania tramite UPS nell'arco di 4-5 giorni.

Anyone who has ever tried a Bluetooth audio system knows how convenient and relatively stable transmission it can be, especially in the current version 4.1. However, already close to 10 metres, the signal begins to falter, resulting in intermittent transmissions or interruptions in service. An apparently old but decidedly functional system like that of this pair of wireless speakers, received as a free trial so I could review them objectively. In their conceptual simplicity they seem to be the solution for those who, deliberately or by necessity, are forced to position the speakers at a distance from each other and/or from the source. Let's see why in the list of... PRO! :) - Range of action up to five times wider than Bluetooth systems - Possibility of powering the speakers both via electricity and AA batteries. However, it will be necessary to recharge them via external systems, as the speakers are not designed for direct charging. - Hourglass style of the speakers, elegant even for a living room - Complete equipment, including cables and adapters - Elementary operation, just connect the transmitter to the audio source via the AUX output. - Presence of the remote control (especially useful if the speakers are placed high up or far away) - Satisfactory audio quality, if we consider the potential transmission distance even if... CONS! :( - ...sometimes too much interference can be annoying. - Unmemorable construction materials - Price a little higher than it should, in my opinion. CONCLUSIONS They should cost a little less than the 110 euros at the end of November 2015 but if you are looking for an alternative audio system to Bluetooth they can represent a good alternative, being able to position both even at a considerable distance. They are delivered from Germany via UPS within 4-5 days.

Ottime casse wireless, utilizzabili ovviamente anche con cavo (incluso nella confezione). Le casse presentano una buona qualità sonora, nonostante alcuni fruscii fastidiosi se sono accese senza alcuna riproduzione musicale. Con il ricevitore in dotazione è possibile utilizzare le casse con cavo e senza, ottime per ascoltare la musica preferita con la giusta dose di bassi o avere una sorta di surroud in casa (consiglio di posizionarle dietro di voi). Come funzionano? Le casse possono essere alimentate tramite batterie (non incluse nella confezione) o cavo di alimentazione (3 cavi in totale, uno per il ricevitore, e 2 per le casse). Una volta connesse le casse al ricevitore con un cavo o via Wireless e ad una presa di corrente o con batterie, basterà premere il tasto di accensione su entrambe le casse posto in cima e lo switch sul ricevitore. Quest'ultimo presenta 2 canali (lasciate il primo attivo), mentre rimuovendo lo sportello dalle casse è possibile decidere se utilizzarle entrambe in stereo o mono, basterà spostare i 2 interruttori su L (LEFT) e R (RIGHT) per avere cassa sinistra e destra e quindi in Mono o lasciarle di default per lo Stereo. Non sono Bluetooth ma Wireless, necessitano del ricevitore che dovrete connettere ad un ingresso AUX (quello delle cuffie posto dietro il televisore per intenderci). Tramite i tasti superiori è possibile regolare il volume delle stesse. Ottime per giocare o vedere i film, non aspettatevi una qualità eccelsa ma compiono il loro lavoro alla perfezione.

Excellent wireless speakers, which can obviously also be used with a cable (included in the package). The speakers have good sound quality, despite some annoying hissing if they are turned on without any music playing. With the supplied receiver you can use the speakers with or without cables, excellent for listening to your favorite music with the right amount of bass or having a sort of surround sound at home (I recommend placing them behind you). How do they work? The speakers can be powered by batteries (not included in the package) or power cable (3 cables in total, one for the receiver, and 2 for the speakers). Once you have connected the speakers to the receiver with a cable or via Wireless and to a power socket or with batteries, simply press the power button on both speakers located at the top and the switch on the receiver. The latter has 2 channels (leave the first active), while by removing the door from the speakers it is possible to decide whether to use them both in stereo or mono, just move the 2 switches to L (LEFT) and R (RIGHT) to have left speaker and right and then in Mono or leave them as default for Stereo. They are not Bluetooth but Wireless, they require the receiver which you will have to connect to an AUX input (the one of the headphones placed behind the TV so to speak). Using the upper keys it is possible to adjust the volume of the same. Excellent for playing games or watching films, don't expect excellent quality but they do their job perfectly.

Super Funkboxen. Schnell geliefert und im coolen Sci-Fi-Look. Habe die an die Wand montiert, ist ja auch so gedacht und betreibe sie mit Batterien, geht aber auch übers Stromkabel. Die Auna Tower 70 harmonieren auch noch mit meinem IPod, alles super. Außerdem ist die Hülle noch wasserabweisend. Einen Sturz in die Badewanne überleben die wahrscheinlich auch nicht, aber so ein paar Wassertropfen halten sie schon aus (wurde schon in der Praxis getestet!). Die Boxen haben auch noch einen Aux-Eingang, wodurch in die auch eigentlich mit meinem Computer verkabeln kann, brauch ich aber nicht, der Funkbetrieb reicht mir völlig.

Great wireless speakers. Delivered quickly and with a cool sci-fi look. I mounted them on the wall, which is how it was designed, and I run them on batteries, but they also work with a power cable. The Auna Tower 70 also works well with my iPod, which is great. The case is also water-repellent. They probably wouldn't survive a fall in the bathtub, but they can handle a few drops of water (it's already been tested in practice!). The speakers also have an aux input, which means I can actually connect them to my computer, but I don't need it, the wireless operation is enough for me.
