Panasonic has released its new range of multi-room speaker systems the ALL series, incorporating AllPlay – a smart media platform from Qualcomm -which allows music to be streamed into multiple rooms from various sources.

Panasonic’s new Multi-Room Hi-Fi System with AllPlay allows you to setup a multi-room configuration based on an already existing home Wi-Fi network. Using an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, music can be wirelessly transmitted throughout the house with a music subscription service or internet radio.

The system has two different modes to either share the same music throughout the home or different music to each speaker location. The ‘Party Mode’ setting enables everyone to join the party and listen to the same song no matter what room they are in, while the ‘Mutli Zone’ setting allows users to select different songs for different connected speakers regardless of the room.

Control of the system is possible directly from the app of an internet radio or a music subscription service and as the apps are frequently upgraded you can enjoy the benefits of these upgrades directly.

“Listening habits have changed and music no longer has to come from a physical source like a CD but can come from a variety of digital sources, one example of which would be streaming. Our systems have evolved with these changes,” says Chasnyn Ousmand, Product Marketing Manager at Panasonic Australia.

“We’ve created a flexible system that allows the same music to be enjoyed by all through a number of different speakers in different rooms. Alternatively, it allows different music to be selected and played from each speaker. On top of delivering a powerful, high quality sound our Multi-Room Hi-Fi System is easy to setup and operate”.

While the SC-ALL8 is wall-mountable, the SC-ALL3 and SC-ALL1C both have a two-way layout design, meaning each can be positioned either vertically or horizontally, allowing both to be placed anywhere in the home.

The Panasonic SC-ALL8 and SC-ALL3 Wireless Speaker Systems are both equipped with a wide range of sound-enhancing technologies. For example, the 2nd generation LincsD-Amp applies noise shaping technology to reproduce a highly stable clock, reducing jitter to a frequency range that is below the level that is audible to the human ear. XBS Master amplifies low-frequency sounds to achieve robust bass. Multi Band Gain Control eliminates unnatural sounds which are generated during the process of controlling distortion.  H.BASS adds harmonics, enabling the reproduction of bass sounds of 80 Hz or less, previously difficult to reproduce with this class of speaker.

With the simple connection of the Panasonic SH-ALL1C, an existing speaker system can be easily upgraded to form a multi-room configuration. In addition, a High Class 192-kHz/24-bit Digital-to-Analogue-Converter (DAC) is used to suppress sound quality degradation in the wireless signal from a smartphone, resulting in high-quality audio signals being transmitted to the speaker system, ensuring perfect clarity every time.

The Panasonic SC-ALL8 incorporates a five-speaker system with a Nano Bamboo Double Layer for the woofer and tweeter, while the SC-ALL3 incorporates a four-speaker system. Bamboo provides a light, yet rigid material, and with a double-layer structure, helps to produce clear, dynamic sounds throughout the mid- to high-frequency range. This keeps vocals clear and transparent, so they are not buried within instrument sounds, while at the same time reproducing low-frequency sounds, such as drum and bass, with crisp clarity. The formed Mica 4-3/4inch (12cm) Subwoofer in the SC-ALL8 resolvesunbalanced drive unit problems that can cause distortion in subwoofer sounds.
