Imivalo yesandi iba liqabane lokunethezeka kumagumbi ethu okuhlala, axabisa ixabiso elifana nelomabonakude ophakathi kwaye anikezela ngamava omsebenzisi okhohlakeleyo. Ngokwam, ndinayo ibha yesandi kwigumbi lam lokuhlala, kwaye ke, ukusuka kuhlobo lwaseJapan, kuba umgangatho weaudiyo yeenkqubo zabo ungaphezulu kokungqinisisiweyo.
I-CES 2018 ibe sisimo esifanelekileyo sokubonisa uluhlu olutsha lwemivalo yesandi, kwaye USony ufuna ukumothusa ngesandi esibonakala ngathi sikhutshiwe, itekhnoloji evela kuwo omane amacala, makhe sibone ukuba ezi ndaba ziqulathe ntoni.
Iimodeli ezimbini eziye zafika e-CES eLas Vegas ziye zaba zezi I-HT-Z9F kunye ne-HT-X900F, zombini zinobuchwephesha beDolby Atmos, abo baqhelene nesandi esiphakamileyo seDolby bazi kakuhle. Ngokuchanekileyo lo mgangatho uvumela isandi ukuba sibonakale sivela ngqo eluphahleni lwelo gumbi, kodwa ayizukuphela kwento eyenziwayo, isandi asikaze sntywilisele. Baxhaphaza nje onke amathuba anokuthenjiswa kwimeko yeAtmos kwaye ayisa.
Imodeli yokuqala, i-HT-Z9F yeyona nto ibiza kakhulu kwaye iya kuba nenkqubo yezona zithethi ziphambili kunye ne-woofer, ngexabiso eliza kuba malunga ne-1.000 euro eYurophu. ukuqala kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezizayo. Ngokwe-demure ngakumbi baphehlelele i-HT-X900F ngenkqubo ye-2.1 yeklasikhi, ewe, siyakhumbula ukuba ngokungafaniyo nexesha elidlulileyo, izithethi ezingaphezulu azithethi ngokucacileyo ukuba zikumgangatho ophezulu, kwaye ezo zizandi zangoku zibonelela ngeziphumo ezothusayo kunye nomncinci iinkqubo. Oku kutsha, ibar yesandi efikelelekayo ngoku ihlala kwi-600 euros kwilizwekazi elidala. Nangona kunjalo, uSony uthathe isigqibo sokubonisa uluhlu lweenkqubo zeCinema yaseKhaya, imivalo yesandi esiphakathi kunye nabamkeli, uya kufumana yonke into kwivenkile yakho ye-elektroniki kwiinyanga ezizayo.
