Huawei launches wireless audio speaker

The Huawei Consumer Business Group has announced a number of consumer products in addition to a new iteration of its flagship P series smartphones, including the HUAWEI Sound X, a new wireless HUAWEI speaker.

The HUAWEI Sound X is an all-new Huawei-Devialet joint wireless speaker that the company says will revolutionise high-end acoustic technology. Devialet is a global audio brand that is known for premium hi-fi products. The company produces power and performance within a limited-sized body, while providing distortion-free sound even at maximum volume levels and low-pitched vibrations that can literally be felt in the listener's bones.
As the first top-notch wireless speaker product from the Chinese telecommunications giant, the HUAWEI Sound X marries first-rate aesthetics with exquisite craftsmanship, and has already been recognised by the 2020 iF Design Award committee for its appearance. The main, glossy portion of the body is crafted with an advanced non-conductive vacuum electroplating process to ensure quality signal transmission and reception. The lower portion uses a seamless cover that further facilitates free, lossless transmission.

The HUAWEI Sound X comes equipped with Devialet's patented signal-processing SAM (speaker active matching) technology. SAM introduces an efficient compensation algorithm that is capable of adapting output signal to match the specific characteristics of the speaker and minimise sound distortion.

The HUAWEI Sound X has twin subwoofers that deliver 60 W of bass, while remaining compact. The Push-Push structure places the two high-power speakers symmetrically, so that their back-wave vibrations cancel each other out. This means even when the walls are shaking from the bass, the Sound X body remains cool.

The HUAWEI Sound X plays audio via Wi-Fi, a process that leads to much less data compression, and fewer lag or latency issues than Bluetooth transmission. That is built on HUAWEI’s self-developed technology, EMUI 10.1 Multi-Device Control Panel which is similar to Apple’s Airplay. 

The HUAWEI Sound X is designed for seamless interaction with smart devices. Gently tapping the phone against the HUAWEI Sound X transmits audio to the speaker, while calls can be answered on the HUAWEI Sound X in call mode with a tap of the hand.
