White Paper Z600

Sony Ericsson Developer Support

Sony Ericsson offers developers professional tech- nical support services. The service can be pur- chased from www.SonyEricsson.com/developer There are two levels of support, described below:

The Basic Developer Support is an annual support service that provides developers with all the basics to successfully develop world- class applications for Sony Ericsson products. With this support contract, developers get access to high-qualitye-mail support with

same-day response and resolution times, five technical support incidents as well as the ability to purchase more.

The Advanced Developer Support is an annual support service that equips professional devel- opers with everything they need to successfully develop world-class applications for

Sony Ericsson products. With this support con- tract, developers get access to a high-quality e- mail support with fast response and resolution times, and up to 50 technical support incidents.

Infrared transceiver

Infrared communication creates a data link between two communications devices through an infrared beam of light. On the Z600, this link is used to connect with desktop computers, PDAs, Sony Ericsson handheld computers, laptop PCs, other phones and other hardware supporting the stand- ard. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) has set the hardware and software standards that form the infrared communication links. The Z600 complies with the IrMC 1.1 specification, which defines how mobile telephony and communication devices can exchange information. In the Z600, the IrMC 1.1 specification is also used for communication via a cable.

Key benefits of using the Z600 with its built-in infra- red transceiver:

True wireless communication

Low power consumption

Secure data transmission with the IrDA DATA standard

Ability to send and receive e-mail and data on the connected PC/PDA

Ability to connect to the Internet or intranet/LAN from the connected PC/PDA

Ability to manage the phone book from a PC

Exchange of business cards and calendar events with vCard/vCalendar compatible devices

Exchange of ring signals between compatible phones

Connection via infrared

IrDA is a point-to-point communication link between two infrared ports. The infrared beam has to be directed towards the target infrared port and as long as the two infrared ports are within sight and range, the devices exchange data. For optimal performance, place the Z600 within a metre and at an angle of 30 degrees to the infrared port on the PC/PDA, or other phone. An advantage of the nec- essary proximity of devices is reduced risk of trans- mitting data to other nearby devices. An infrared link is a serial connection, which means that data

bits are sent one after another in a long stream. The IrDA–SIR Data Link Standard is a protocol that makes transmission of data faultless. The standard provides a high level of noise immunity, which means that the connection is not affected by fluo- rescent light, sunlight and electromagnetic fields – making it suitable for the modern office environ- ment.

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.
