Introduced in 2013, the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5.3 Bluetooth speaker has since undergone multiple variations. Now iconic, the brand offers the Onyx Studio 9 with its announced higher performance and improved ergonomics. Its design, sober and iconic, still benefits from the strength of timelessness.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9 compatible with Auracast££££
The Onyx Studio 9, which supports dual simultaneous pairing, is Auracast compatible to connect the speaker to another Onyx Studio 9 or to any Auracast-compatible speaker. The carrying handle is now integrated and the user interface redesigned. On the sound side, the new Constant Sound Field (CSF) technology, a unique acoustic algorithm by Harman, mixes the music on the three channels of the speaker and broadcasts it via each [abc]tweeter[/abc], for total immersion in the heart of each soundtrack. In addition, via self-adjusting technology, the sound automatically adapts to the environment for optimal quality, regardless of the location.
Namely, it is possible to associate two Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9 speakers to have a true stereo configuration, managed from the Harman Kardon One application.
