Sony Japan recently showed off a new RDP-NWV500 audio accessory, and is probably the strangest Sony product I have seen in recent memory. The NWV500 is basically a tumbler-shaped audio speaker that has WM-Port capability. Apparently the device has a digital amplifier, heavy bass and a 360-degree speaker integrated at the top. They prescribe it for the car as it should fit perfectly in your drink holder. Sony says that this is also a better alternative than FM transmitters which often are a nuisance more than anything.<\/p>\n

However, its clear this device can’t match a dedicated media port or AUX input in a car, which many newer vehicles have these days. The NWV500, available on April 24th for Y20,000, will be available in orange or black and is scratch resistant with UV coating. We were surprised to see a 16W output, which is not bad for a device of this size. Apparently it also has 2-way bass reflex, and a 56mm woofer and 20mm tweeter. A remote control is included, and it can run either from the car’s 12V accessory socket (aka cigarette lighter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
