LG Electronics released the xboom Stage 501, a party Bluetooth speaker with an artificial intelligence (AI) karaoke feature, on the 20th. The shipping price is 699,000 won.
The new product is equipped with two woofers and two full-range drivers. The xboom sound was tuned by musician will.i.am, and it applies the audio technology of Danish audio company Peerless. The "AI karaoke master" feature reduces vocals from music and plays accompaniment without a separate application, and adjusts a song's key to match the user's vocal range.
AI sound analyzes the music genre and applies the appropriate sound mode among standard, bass boost, and clear voice. It also includes "AI lighting," which adjusts the lighting to the genre and rhythm of the music, and a space recognition feature that calibrates sound based on the installation space. It offers a multi mode that plays the same source on multiple speakers and a stereo mode that splits two speakers into left and right channels.
The product measures about 30 centimeters in width and depth, and about 59 centimeters in height. On a single charge, it can be used for up to 25 hours, and it can be installed horizontally, vertically, or tilted, or mounted on a separate stand.
