● Main Features
1.Clear Sound Created by Sony's Wealth of Audio Technologies
- 180º horizontal opposed stereo speakers: these minimize sound directivity, allowing users to enjoy high sound quality, no matter where they are situated.
- Baffle effect: sound reverberates from the surface (e.g. desk or floor), and the upper portion of "Rolly" creates a three-dimensional sound effect. Despite the product's small size, the listener can appreciate high quality audio.
- Digital amp for high sound quality and high efficiency/soft dome speakers adopting neodymium magnet:The digital amp permits powerful sound even with low power consumption. The compact speakers adopt a neodymium magnet to realize powerful audio performance when music is played.
2.No LCD Display – Simple User Interface for Intuitive Interaction
The "Rolly" main unit has just two control buttons – for power and playback. Sensors on the main unit allow users to perform functions like track-skipping and volume control by moving or rotating the product-body itself. Feedback on the playback condition is given in a highly intuitive form by light, sound and group voice guidance.
3.Movement to March the Music – Motion Functions
"Rolly" represents a change from the traditional concept of music as something that we just listen to. Users can create their own motions to match the music and then share with others. A set of functions adds entertainment value, as music becomes something to share with friends, something to physically experience, and a vehicle of self expression.
There are six moving parts on the main unit (2 arms, 2 shoulders, 2 wheels) and LEDs (2 side lamps.)
- Self Motion Function: Analyzes music transferred to the internal memory and creates a motion program.
- Auto Motion Function: By using the PC application Motion Editor, which is packaged with "Rolly", sophisticated motion programs can be automatically created with the push of a button.
- Custom Motion Function:Use Motion Editor to manually create your own motion program.
4.Bluetooth(R) Function
If the "Rolly" main unit is connected to a music player with Bluetooth connectivity (PC, mobile phone, digital music player etc.) then the audio data on that music player can be played on the "Rolly" speakers. *
* Must have A2DP profile compatibility. Music data contained on "Rolly" cannot be played on a Bluetooth connected device.
* When Bluetooth is being used for music playback only Self Motion Function can be used.
