Syng Cell Alpha Triphonic Speaker
FOR THE AUDIOPHILE
Co-founded by former Apple lead designer Christopher Stringer and entrepreneur Damon Way, Los Angeles-based audio brand Syng’s triphonic technology delivers immersive, room-filling sound for music lovers who want to hear every vocal layer, hi-hat sound and deep bass beat, thanks to an innovative design that puts the tweeter, midrange and woofer in a sphere-like case. The company’s debut Cell Alpha speaker automatically adjusts its output depending on the room’s space and its location and surroundings within it, and you can link several Syng Cells together for true surround sound. Whether they’re playing Fela Kuti, Radiohead, Haim or the Supremes, podcasts, movies, or video games; the Cell Alpha can play diamond-clear audio using Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect, or be plugged into a laptop, record player or TV with the Syng Link cable.
