Digital audio and powered by _single_ USB cable - or - battery or A/C power for maximum volume - optional 1/8" mini jack for external audio gizmos makes this very versatile for mobile-anything. There's some really lousy USB speakers out there (see eBay) - this ain't one of 'em.]]>Sep 1st 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/]]>Jan 10th 2007 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/Jan 10th 2007 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/Jan 10th 2007 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/Great Scott!!!

The power rating is easily understood when you look closely at the music signal. The higher power level is only need for short bursts of complex passages or deep bass tones. If you were to examine a home stereo rated at 100W per channel or higher, you would find that 95% of the listening only requires 10 or less Watts.

I suspect that if you open this box up, you will find some relatively large capacitors (or even a couple of lithium batteries) that provide the power need for these short bursts. They simply re-charge during the less consuming passages.

Nice work Yamaha. These would be perfect for a laptop while traveling. Where do I sign up?]]>Jan 10th 2007 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/yamaha-boasts-worlds-most-powerful-usb-speaker-the-nx-u10/So I cannot recommend these to everyone. You need to be able to afford $180 without regret. You need room in your laptop bag for these. You need to travel a lot, and to locations where you can set this up. But if you meet these needs, it is worth it.]]>Aug 10th 2007 10:34AM
