CES 2006 Profile: Boston Acoustics

By

Audio specialty manufacturer Boston Acoustics made several product announcements during the Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas. Perhaps most interesting of all was their news of the shipping of their new Recepter Radio HD.

The Recepter Radio HD is powered by digital HD radio technology from iBiquity Digital, which allows Boston Acoustics’ stereo table radio to pick up compatible AM and FM stations in next generation digital, multi-channel sound. Features of this $499 device include a compact satellite speaker, a mini-credit card sized remote, bass performance enhancement technology, a stereo input for iPods and other external audio sources, a multi-line display, two independent clock alarms and memory tuning for up to 20 AM/FM presets.

Sharp's prototype QDEL TV is shown at CES 2024.

CES is exactly the place where you expect companies to show up and absolutely wow you with bleeding-edge tech.

My flight home from CES 2024 proved that the world needs Auracast
An Auracast demonstrator points to a transmitter at a mock airport gate showing the technology at CES 2024.

I was sitting at my gate in Las Vegas' Harry Reid airport waiting to board my red-eye home to Toronto after four days at CES 2024 when my brain's last functioning cell was jolted back to life by a mishmash of airport intercom announcements. One was a general reminder to not leave my luggage unattended, and the other, from my gate, rattled off a list of passenger names for passport verification. All very important. I think.

The crisscrossing audio mess was confusing to decipher, but the real-life use case provided me with the inspiration I needed to write this post about a new Bluetooth tech I demoed at the show called Auracast, which promises to make audio in public spaces like airports, bars, movie theaters, and auditoriums better and more personalized.
