There has been a few new Airplay systems announced over recent months, with some of them starting to come onto the market. The latest one to join in is Audyssey with their Lower East Side Audio Dock Air, a square looking speaker with built in AirPlay technology for wireless streaming.
It is no surprise that more audio brands are embracing AirPlay technology as we see Apple reporting ever growing iOS sales, fueling a market for these wireless streaming audio systems and video systems. The fact that it is Audyssey that is now joining that market is also a good thing, as we can never have enough quality audio manufacturers delivering improved systems to the market.
I hope that Audyssey have put their entire audio expertise to good use in the Lower East Side Audio Dock Air, a system that has a slight retro feel (at least i think it does). The systems uses Audysseys “Smart Speaker Technology” which is said to deliver best-in-class audio quality, alongside its two 1-inch tweeters, two 3-inch midrange drivers, and two 4-inch passive bass radiators. Besides the internal audio components, the system is light on features, with a volume wheel on the top and headphones jack / 3.5mm line-in on the front/back.
As with most other AirPlay speakers in the market today, you can link up several LES Audio Dock Air to create a more room-filling, or multi-room, sound experience.
