Hey.

Saw these the today online. I was looking for new speakers. I know these won't be any good for music production. But I am going travelling soon, wanted some portable speakers for my laptop.

Just a bit puzzled by the 180 degree listening angle. What does that even mean?

advertising gimmick?

Conventional speakers are more or less directional, and have their effectiveness (frequency/loudness response) angle so to speak. 180 degree means, that the sound propagaton is wider than with regular speakers. It can be done in various ways. Vibration speakers and toroidal speakers/membranes are the example of so called "omni-directional" sound. NXT panels and "propagation deflectors" (mechanical constructions around the sound source making the sound more spread, like optical lens for light) or multispeaker designs - are another example of extended angles. Plus some marketing of course 😉

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
