SECAUCUS, N.J., April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic
today announces the pricing and availability of the new NE (Network
Era) Series of wireless speaker systems. The SC-NE1, SC-NE3
and SC-NE5 feature the ultimate in sound quality with full wireless
connectivity.
Panasonic's new NE series has the latest in advanced networking
features with enhanced high-quality sound for the ideal listening
experience as well as a curved aero stream port to control the
airflow and reduce the noise emitted from the ports, resulting in
clearer, more robust bass. This new wireless speaker concept
is designed with the consumer in mind, allowing for streaming music
without the need to dock the device.
The NE5 includes docking/CD unit with a lightening pin
connection to seamlessly work with the iPhone 5 /iPod touch (5th
generation). It also includes a USB terminal making it
possible to connect with a wide range of music devices, while both
the NE5 and NE3 can be synced through DLNA, AirPlay® and Bluetooth®
for other Apple or Android devices. AirPlay® allows users to
wirelessly stream music from an iPad, iPhone, iPod or MAC/PC
directly into the device through a wireless LAN network. The
new Panasonic Music Streaming app makes it easy for a user to
control all the music streaming directly from their smartphone or
tablet, no matter what wireless connection they use.
Providing rich and strong sounds from treble to bass, the NE
series features a 2-way Speaker System to treat listeners to clear,
well-balanced sounds. The rigid lightweight Nanosized Bamboo
Cone speaker with high acoustic velocity is used to achieve sounds
with high sound pressure and clarity. Enclosed in the system is a
3-1/8 inch Long Stroke Woofer which employs large-amplitude
vibrations to produce the genuine deep base sounds. Crystal
clear dialog and vocals are also produced with the embedded
one-inch Tweeter providing the listener with an unmatched audio
experience. A Pure Direct Sound System reduces distortion
from sound reflection and the Direct-Vocal Surround feature
positions musical instruments in a surround configuration,
accentuating vocals in the center so a user can enjoy a
concert-like experience.
The Panasonic SC-NE5, SRP $449.99,
and SC-NE-3, SRP $299.99, will be
available in May 2013 for at
retailers nationwide and www.Panasonic.com. The SC-NE1, SRP
$199.99, is currently available.
