White Paper Z600

Benefits

Essentially enabling the mobile terminal to serve as image processor and conveyor, Multimedia Mes- saging accommodates the exchange of important visual information as readily as it facilitates fun. Business and leisure usage of MMS will be dynam- ically merged, resulting in enhanced personal effi- ciency for users and increased network activity for operators. In short, MMS affords total usage for total communication

Because MMS uses WAP as its bearer technology and is being standardized by 3GPP, it has wide industry support and offers full interoperability, which is a major benefit to service providers and end users. Ease-of-use resulting from both the gradual steps of the messaging evolution and the continuity of user experience gained from interop- erability is assured.

The MMS server, through which MMS messages are sent, supports flexible addressing (to both nor- mal phone numbers (MSISDN) and e-mail accounts), which makes user interface more friendly and allows greater control for operators. The MMS server, moreover, is responsible for the instant delivery feature of MMS.

MMS technical features

The MMS standard, just like SMS, offers store-and- forward transmission (instant delivery) of mes- sages, rather than a mailbox-type model. MMS is a person-to-person communications solution, mean- ing that the user gets the message directly into the mobile phone. He or she doesn’t have to call the server to get the message downloaded to the mobile phone. Unlike SMS, the MMS standard uses WAP as its bearer protocol. MMS will take advantage of the high speed data transport tech- nologies EDGE and GPRS and support a variety of image, video and audio formats to facilitate a com- plete communication experience.

Architecture

The MMS Centre (MMS-C) is comprised of the MMS Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS Store. The MMS Centre is the central element of the MMS network architecture, providing storage and operational support, enabling instant delivery of multimedia messages from terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-e-mail, and supporting flexible addressing. The centre’s MMS Proxy-Relay inter-

acts with the application being run on the MMS- enabled terminal to provide various messaging services. WAP is used as bearer of an MMS mes- sage between the MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of messages.

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.
