KEF launches a wireless version of the X300A desktop speakers at CEDIA Expo 2013-- the X300A Wireless Digital Hifi Speaker system, capable of streaming via Airplay or DLNA from Apple or Android devices.

The system features 4 dedicated amplifiers (2 per speaker), 2 discrete DACs and a high-resolution 96kHz/24-bit distortion-free USB connection (in wired mode).

Setup comes via wizard (OS X and Windows) available from the KEF website.

The company says users can switch the X300A between desk, free space and desk/wall modes by adjusting equalisation according to location via rear panel switch (desk and stand modes) or via foam plug for the rear reflex port (wall mode).

Vision’s AV-1000 Powered loudspeakers have been superseded by two new products; the SP-1200P has more power and is aimed to fulfill European tender specifications which often demand 30 watts.

The SP-1100P is a simpler, less powerful version which aims to win price-led business.

The new products are radically better: both use a Yamaha digital amplifier chip and are assembled on an automated computer-driven production line leading to greater reliability.

The SP-1200P also feature’s Vision’s new wall brackets which are unique to Vision and speed up installation.

Salamander Designs unveils a co-development with Leon Speakers-- an integrated loudspeaker accessory fitting any of the Synergy and Chameleon cabinets.

The solution conceals a high performance loudspeaker behind cloth grilles within the AV cabinet, eliminating the need for bulky in-room speakers and unsightly wiring.

As well as being custom tailored for each cabinet, the Salamander integrated speaker solutions ship with sturdy brackets to facilitate up-and-down loudspeaker rotation, optimising performance for any room or seating situation.

Bathrooms need fans for the elimination of hot, damp air. Some think bathrooms also need speakers, to pipe music while one does their business. Homewerks suggests your customers combine both needs with Bluetooth Bath Fan.

The name says it all, really. The fan connects with most Bluetooth-enabled devices (up to 9m distance) to stream the user's choice of music, with the connected device also handling volume control.

Meanwhile according to Homewerks the fan is both powerful (90 CFM) and quiet (1.5 Sones), so one should be able to listen to the sounds over the vent hum. An included wall switch allows fan- or speaker-only operation, and since the speaker is integrated with the fan wiring it needs no recharging.

The Bluetooth Bath Fan is available now.
