Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045" collaboration Bluetooth speaker is now available for order! Equipped with Motoko Kusanagi's newly recorded voice!

Nain has begun pre-orders for the Zeeny T★Box, the first Bluetooth speaker in the Zeeny series to incorporate its unique Virtual Sound Field(TM) sound field extension technology, and a collaboration model with the Netflix original anime series "Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045. The pre-order of the collaboration model is now available. The voice of Motoko Kusanagi (CV: Atsuko Tanaka) was newly recorded.

The Zeeny T★Box is a cost-effective Bluetooth speaker that allows users to enjoy theater sound in a compact housing. Smaller in size than a soundbar, it is equipped with "Virtual Sound Field," a unique sound field expansion technology that allows users to enjoy a sound expansion greater than that of a soundbar. As if you are listening to music with headphones, you can feel the sound in your ears as if the space is expanding up, down, left, right, and center. The rich bass and clear sound are pursued to create a surprising sense of presence.

The collaboration model to be released this time features a newly recorded system voice by Motoko Kusanagi (CV. Atsuko Tanaka) from "Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045". You can also listen to the "secret voice" that can only be heard on this model, so please enjoy the feeling as if Motoko Kusanagi is talking directly to your brain.

The actual speaker is on display at BOOSTER STUDIO by CAMPFIR on the 1st floor of Shibuya Parco. You can try them out for yourself, so why don't you check them out?

Zeeny T★Box Information

Easy installation, easy connection

For use with a TV with earphone output, simply connect the included stereo mini cable to the earphone output of the TV and supply power via USB. No need for a large installation space like a sound bar. When connected to a Bluetooth-enabled device such as a smartphone, the connection can be made wirelessly. Once connected, it automatically reconnects to the device when the power is turned on or off.

Virtual Sound Field

This product is equipped with an original technology developed in collaboration with a Japanese audio venture and tuned exclusively for this product. By extending the sound field, it provides sound that gives the user the illusion of hearing the sound right in front of their ears.

The Virtual Sound Field mode, commonly known as VSF mode, can be set to three different sound fields: Theater mode, Music mode, and Omni mode.
Theater mode literally expands the sound field to the left and right when listened to from the front. It is as if you are watching a movie on a smartphone on a large screen. Music mode is a mode adjusted to enjoy the tone of music from bass to treble while creating a widened sound field. Omni mode aims to create the effect of comfortably localizing the sound image even when the speakers are not in front of the screen.

Audio codecs supported are SBC, AAC, and aptXHD. The best codec for the connected smartphone is automatically selected to provide the best sound quality. The dedicated "Zeeny Assistant" app can also be used to customize the sound quality and operation sounds to your liking.

Waterproof / 12-hour long playback
Equipped with a long battery capable of 12 hours of continuous playback. Lightweight and waterproof, it is easy to carry and enjoy videos and music wherever and whenever you want.
