No. 633: Try Panasonic "SC-LT205" with sound falling from the ceiling

The ceiling is open!

The ceiling is an area that is rarely used in ordinary households. Most of the time, there is only lighting, and I don't look at it sternly except when I'm sleeping, and it doesn't matter when I look up. However, when you think about it, the ceiling has the same area as the floor area, so I think it would be quite effective if it could be used in a good way.

At the end of last year, I reviewed the ceiling light "CrossFeel" with speakers from NEC Lighting, and it was a very interesting experience. It seems that the reaction of the article was also good. However, most households already have ceiling lights, and unless it's time to build a new building or move, it's unlikely that you'll have to pay tens of thousands of yen to buy a new light. However, the idea of ​​raising the speaker to the ceiling seems to have great potential in Japanese houses.

I don't know if that's what I've noticed, but Panasonic will release an NFC / Bluetooth-compatible speaker that can be mounted on the ceiling from October 11th. It is a speaker that can be attached by sandwiching it between the ceiling and the light. The price is around 30,000 yen for the NFC compatible model "SC-LT200" and around 35,000 yen for the "SC-LT205" that comes with a Bluetooth transmitter.

The ceiling light that is currently attached can be used as it is, so the point is that the price is reasonable. Now that Bluetooth speakers are becoming a bit of a boom, what exactly is this mechanism of sound falling from the ceiling? Let's give it a try.
