In the world of audio technology, new names worthy of attention appear quite rarely. However, the combination of a reasonable price and high quality, inherent in Chinese branded equipment, is also found here.
Today we will introduce you to a new product from a little-known company VIDSON - I30. This wireless speaker system combines powerful speakers, a high-quality amplification path and several additional functions: a night light and color music.
Appearance
The design of a speaker system determines its sound and the buyer's first impression. VIDSON I30 differs from all existing wireless speakers in its eye-catching appearance.
The audio system is a metal platform - an electronics unit, on which the system body itself is placed, made of organic glass with beveled corners.
The original solution made it possible to hide all the functional elements and turn the device into a night light: Due to the built-in lighting, the plastic evenly distributes the light and softly illuminates the surroundings space.
The speakers are covered with original-shaped grilles, giving the generally high-tech device the spirit of the classics. The combination of a translucent body and traditional materials allows VIDSON I30 to fit into any interior.
Acoustic design
External design directly affects the internal one. However, eye-catching appearance and proper design have allowed VIDSON to go beyond compact Bluetooth speakers.
VIDSON I30 is a compact bass reflex 2.1 stereo system with a passive low-frequency radiator. The bass reflex is located at the base, and goes to the back of the acoustics, giving low frequencies volume without unnecessary pressure.
The main speakers have a diameter of 48 millimeters. Each is rated at 10 W peak power into 4 ohms. Unfortunately, VIDSON did not expand the sound range, limiting itself to frequencies available for Bluetooth from 60 to 20,000 Hz. The amount of S/N distortion also did not become the reference value - for peak power it is 80 dB. TDH distortion is less than 1%.
So you can only dream about the pristine pure sound of desktop acoustics.
However, the I30 differs from its classmates in its powerful, bright, rich sound with minimal deviations from the norm.
Connection and use
Meanwhile, VIDSON I30 is capable of more. This is a completely self-contained audio system. There is not only a Bluetooth 4.2 wireless interface, but also a microSD slot and an AUX input.
This allows the speaker to play music pre-recorded on a flash drive from storage devices, or turn into a wired music center - connection occurs via a regular 3.5 mm connector
Control
Hardware control
The interface capabilities are also supported by the device buttons. ON the front panel there is only a power key - the result of high-quality work by designers.
The Mute and Volume Up buttons are hidden on the back of the speaker base. Everything is done in accordance with the general design, so the rear speaker still does not intimidate with an abundance of additional elements.
Companion app
Of greatest interest is the wireless connection of the VIDSON I30. The speaker connects to any smartphone via Bluetooth in 2 ways: directly, through the system interface; and through the mobile application.
If everything is quite clear with the operation of the main mode - distances up to 15 meters are supported - then a few words need to be said about the application.
Firstly, it adjusts the color and brightness of the backlight. Secondly, there are timers to turn off the backlight and the speaker itself. A rather convenient function for a night light in the bedroom: by programming it once, you can fall asleep to pleasant sounds in a softly lit room every day. After this, the speaker will turn off and will no longer interfere with sound sleep.
