AQ Amigo Flatpack Portable Stero Speaker Bar Balances on Laptop Screen

by Jay Garrett on November 11, 2009

aq-amigo-portable-laptop-speaker 2I’ve yet to find a laptop that actually has great speakers that give decent depth and clarity.

At home I have my laptop go through my little Denon mini system that chucks the noise out through some Q Audio monitor speakers – all well and good til I hit the road with said lappy.

I’ve tried various portable, USB powered speakers before but they tend to be a tad bulky.

My main issue is that, being fairly tall, desktop speakers would be ideal if my ears were in my forearms – I could do with some speakers that actually fire from the top of my laptop screen……

AQ Amigo has only just announced a new portable PC speaker that’s designed to fit to the top of laptop screens!

Not only that – the NXT “Exciter” flat panel boasts bi-directional speaker technology as well as being USB plug-and-play.

Naturally it will play nice with both Mac and PC portables (and desktops for that matter if you should so wish), the speaker offers 2 x 1.2 Watt output, measures 260 x 60 x 25mm, weighs 170 grams and is on sale now for the princely sum of £24.95.

Synth in Your Pocket – Korg DS-10

by Jay Garrett on March 13, 2008

KorgDSIf you cast your mind back to my acrticle about iBand - 2iPhones and a DS yo! – pocket music makers should be taken seriously.

Now mini music makers can kick it with the new Korg-approved DS-10 synthesizer from AQ Interactive.

This synth is not a gimmicky toy; it boasts two patchable virtual synths with a pair of oscillators each, a drum machine, a sequencer, and a full range of effects – and more.

You’ll be able to hook-up wirelessly to several systems to play together or simply exchange sounds and songs, although you’ll apparently have to make do without MIDI support.

This wonderment hits Japan in July for ¥4,800, or around £25.
