NXT, the British audio and speech technology company, today announced that the Mission fs1, the ultra-slim home cinema speaker system, has won an International CES Innovations, Design and Engineering Award 2003.
Featuring NXT’s SurfaceSound® technology, the fs1’s home theatre speaker system offers a high-technology, high-style alternative to traditional box-type speaker systems, delivering outstanding sound quality, and fitting easily into any room.
In addition to obvious space-saving advantages, NXT speakers have a number of audio advantages over traditional speaker systems. NXT panels radiate sound more evenly across their frequency range than traditional speakers, thus creating a much wider listening angle or “universal sweet spot.” Additionally, whereas conventional speakers create powerful beams of sound which bounce around the inside of a room combining and colliding to create hot and cold spots, NXT loudspeakers interact much more sympathetically with reflective surfaces and boundaries within a listening area. Finally, NXT speakers also suffer less volume drop off with distance than conventional speakers so listeners close to the speakers aren’t deafened nor those some distance away left straining to hear.
David Marchant, sales director at Mission, said: “Until now, if listeners wanted to experience cinema-like sound in a smaller lounge or bedroom, basically their only option was to clutter up their space with boxy loudspeakers.
“By using NXT flat-panel loudspeaker technology we have been able to solve this problem and come up with the home theatre solution many people have been waiting for.”
The Innovations Awards judge the latest products from consumer technology manufacturers and developers. The Awards, which are judged by a pre-eminent panel of 30 independent industry designers, engineers and journalists, honour the most innovative products in 20 different categories including: Audio, Digital Imaging, Wireless Communications and Satellite Systems.
