Here we have with us VU’s 2.1 channel Bluetooth Speakers. VU as a brand was completely unknown to us until we saw them at the recently concluded Times AV exhibition at Mumbai. VU is brought to India by Zenith. They claim to be a luxury technology brand for high-end computers, LCD displays and digital homes. Now that we have cleared all apprehensions of an unknown brand, its time to dissect the product. Design Out of the box it’s a neat looking device and can surely adorn your living room and just for that, it’s wall mountable and comes with a wall mount clip. Its indeed a lifestyle product, intended to blend style and technology. How it works The speaker system has an inbuilt A2DP Bluetooth module, more like a receiver. Next you have to look for a device with Bluetooth functionality that supports the A2DP profile. A2DP stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. It is a technology that lets devices transmit and receive audio signals in high quality, stereo mode, as opposed to regular Bluetooth audio which is of not very high quality and usually comes in mono. One of the most common devices that have Bluetooth are phones. Be careful, not all phones that have Bluetooth support the A2DP profile. There are some phones, however, that do support A2DP in this article. As of now the phones that support the A2DP profile are all above Rs. 10,000. Now that you have your A2DP capable Bluetooth device, you have to establish a connection between the device and the speakers, a procedure called as pairing. Pairing is very simple and your done within 30 seconds. Once paired you can straightaway start playing songs from your phone (we have taken the phone as an example of a Bluetooth device) on to the speakers, that to wirelessly! The operating range is up to 10 meters without obstacles i.e. if your speakers are in one room and your phone in another, the range will be less than 10 meters because of the walls in between. VU also bundles a Bluetooth dongle that connects to a computers USB port, so that you can listen to the songs on your computer. The Bluetooth dongle also supports the A2DP profile. For the dongle to work you need to install the provided software by BlueSoleil. Bundled PC Software by BlueSoleil |
