Audio

With the sound recorder function in the Z600, it is easy to make a voice recording, for example a per- sonal rendition of “Happy Birthday”. The audio function in the Z600 also allows downloading of sounds and melodies.

Themes

With themes, the user can change the appearance of the display, for example the background colours and the background picture. The phone comes with a number of pre-defined pictures, and it is possible to download additional themes. The maxi- mum number of themes is limited only by the amount of memory.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)

One of the key features in the Z600 is the Multime- dia Messaging Service (MMS), this is expected to become the preferred messaging method of mobile terminal users, since there are virtually no limits to the content of an MMS transmission. An MMS message (also known as a Picture Message) from the Z600 can contain text, pictures, graphics, ani- mations, images, audio clips and ring melodies. For more detailed information, see “Multimedia mes- saging service” on page 53. For third-party devel- opers’ information, please visit www.SonyEricsson.com/developer and look for the MMS Developers’ guidelines.

Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for third generation implementation, MMS completes the potential of messaging. Sending digital post- cards and PowerPoint-style presentations is expected to be among the most popular user appli- cations of MMS. Eagerly awaited by young users in particular, MMS is projected to fuel the growth of related market segments by as much as forty per- cent.

Using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as bearer technology and powered by the high-speed transmission technologies EDGE, GPRS and UMTS (W-CDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to send and receive messages that look like Power- Point-style presentations. The messages may include any combination of text, graphics, photo- graphic images, speech and music clips. MMS messaging will serve as the default mode of mes- saging on all terminals, making total content exchange second nature. From utility to sheer fun, it offers benefits at every level and to every kind of user.

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.
