Local synchronization

White Paper Z600

Network operators

As multiple applications that need remote synchro- nization over WAP are developed, there will be an automatic growth of revenue for network operators.

Open standard

Synchronization is possible with almost any group- ware or office program, since the synchronization method complies with the open standard IrMC 1.1, as specified by the Infrared Data Association – ref- erence http://www.irda.org. IrMC 1.1 brings together the following standards:

•vCard 2.1 for address book information

•vCalendar 1.0 for appointment and to-do information

•ObEx (Object Exchange) for data exchange

Bluetooth wireless technology or infrared

The Z600 synchronizes using the same protocol, regardless of connection type. It connects via Blue- tooth wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is connected either directly to the phone or to the desktop charger.

Automatic synchronization

When infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology is switched on in the phone, the synchronization process starts automatically, as soon as the phone is within range of a compatible port on a PC or handheld device (a suitable synchronization pro- gram must be running on the device).

Intelligent process

A synchronization engine performs the task of syn- chronizing. For local synchronization, the synchro- nization engine is an application that runs on the desktop computer. The synchronization engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the information in the phone is the same as that in the computer.

Local synchronization software and the Z600

PCs equipped with XTNDConnect For Sony Erics- son will perform synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. For other groupware environments (Lotus Notes, etc.), the full version of XTNDConnect PC is required. By using Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared, USB or the RS 232 Cable, you can easily perform a fast, local synchronization.

Integration between XTNDConnect For Sony Erics- son and Microsoft Outlook provides an embedded menu for one-key synchronization.

To enhance functionality and compatibility further, the synchronization software can easily be upgraded.

The number of units that can talk to each other is unlimited. One phone can be partner with several PCs. This ensures that information from both the work PC and the home PC can be synchronized with the phone. For users that have both a desktop PC and a laptop (free version XTNDConnect PC) or a PDA (free version XTNDConnect PC), it is an effi- cient way to synchronize data with the phone. This way, data can also be transferred between PCs to keep them in sync.

If the synchronization software is upgraded to a full version of XTNDConnect PC, one PC can be part- nered with several different phones. This is vital if, for example, each member in a work group has his/ her own Z600, and needs to synchronize with a PC. It makes it easy, for example, to download a com- mon company phone directory to the phone book in each company mobile phone. With the full ver- sion of the synchronization software, other phone types and handheld devices, such as PDAs and Windows CE computers, can also be synchro- nized.

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.
