address and other information can be stored. The hierarchical phone book in the Z600 is compatible with most groupware and agenda programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, enabling smooth local syn- chronization of contact information between the

phone and a PC, via cable, Bluetooth wireless technology or IR. For remote synchronization of Contacts and Calendar over WAP, the Z600 sup- ports SyncML.

SyncML, an open standard for remote synchronization in the Z600

SyncML – background

The SyncML Initiative Ltd. was founded by Erics- son, IBM, Lotus, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and Starfish Software in February 2000. Supported by more than 60 software and hardware developers, the SyncML Initiative Ltd. seeks to develop and promote a globally open standard for remote synchronization, called Syn- cML. Unlike many other synchronization platforms, SyncML is an open industry specification that offers universal interoperability. Because it uses a common language, called XML, for specifying the messages that synchronize devices and applica- tions, SyncML has been called the only truly future- proof platform for enabling reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost anywhere and in a wide variety of devices, regardless of application or operating system.

special challenges of wireless synchronization, such as relatively low connection reliability and high network latency. SyncML supports synchroni- zation over WAP, fixed networks, infrared, cable or Bluetooth wireless technology.

In the Z600 SyncML enables synchronization over WAP – an ultimate solution for travellers.

What is SyncML?

SyncML is the common language for synchronizing all devices and applications over any network. Syn- cML leverages Extensible Markup Language (XML), making SyncML a truly future-proof platform. With SyncML any personal information, such as e-mail, calendars, to-do lists, contact information and other relevant data, will be consistent, accessible and up to date, no matter where the information is stored. For example, a calendar entry made to a mobile device on a business trip is equally available to a secretary in a network calendar. SyncML is the ultimate choice for remote synchronization.

In the Z600 SyncML supports remote synchroniza- tion of the calendar and phone book, designed for the requirements of the wireless world

SyncML is designed specifically with the wireless world’s tight requirements in mind. SyncML mini- mizes the use of bandwidth and can deal with the

Z600 specifications

The Tannoy Z600 is a remarkable loudspeaker that embodies the company’s commitment to high-performance audio, blending classic craftsmanship with innovative technologies. Designed for both professional and home listening environments, the Z600 serves as an exemplary model in Tannoy’s extensive range of audio solutions.

One of the standout features of the Z600 is its dual-concentric driver design. This technology has been a hallmark of Tannoy's engineering for decades, ensuring that sound is emitted from a single point source. This results in an incredibly coherent soundstage with exceptional imaging, allowing listeners to experience audio with a sense of depth and clarity that is often absent in traditional speaker designs.

The Z600 further enhances its audio reproduction capabilities through the use of high-quality drivers. It houses a 6.5-inch bass driver paired with a 1-inch high-frequency driver. The combination enables the speaker to handle a wide frequency range, delivering rich bass tones while maintaining crystal clear highs. The speaker's crossover design is meticulously crafted to ensure seamless integration between the bass and treble drivers, which contributes to a balanced and natural sound signature.

Equipped with a robust MDF cabinet, the Z600 is designed to minimize unwanted resonances and provide a solid base for sound reproduction. The cabinet's architecture is complemented by a stylish finish, available in various veneers, allowing it to blend well with any modern or classic décor.

Installation options are versatile, featuring bi-wiring capabilities that enhance the speaker's performance. This feature allows for separate connections to the bass and treble drivers, optimizing audio quality and enabling advanced customization based on user preference.

Another notable characteristic of the Tannoy Z600 is its wide dispersion pattern. This attribute ensures that sound remains consistent and clear even when listening from different positions in the room. This makes the Z600 an excellent choice for both casual listening and critical monitoring in professional setups.

With its combination of innovative technologies, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship, the Tannoy Z600 stands out as a top-tier choice for audio enthusiasts. Whether for home entertainment or studio monitoring, it offers a listening experience that is both engaging and immersive, making it a worthy addition to any audio system.
