Do you need a massive high-powered home audio system? How about one that can create disco lights or act like a Chromecast speaker? Then Sony's behemoth MHC-V90W Home Audio System may be for you, for the low cost of $1,299.99.
For 13 Benjamins, you get 10 horn-style speakers designed to make music travel as far as possible, party lights that can shine in a disco-style pattern, gesture controls for changing settings, and a 'Fiesta Mode' that increases the sound pressure. The whole unit stands 5.6 feet tall and includes four tweeters, four mid-range speakers, and two woofers.
You can change the MHC-V90W's settings with Sony's Music Center app.
There are plenty of ways to play your favorite music, including Bluetooth with NFC pairing, Casting, a USB port, and a headphone jack. You can also play tunes from CDs, DLNA media servers, and FM radio.
Sony calls this 'easy portability.'
The MHC-V90W is also designed to work with other speakers. Not only is there an audio out, but you can also use Sony's 'Party Chain' technlogy to sync multiple compatible speakers. And of course, if you're using Google Cast, you can use Google's multi-room casting.
Finally, the system has a karaoke mode with a microphone input, as well as input for guitars. As mentioned above, the system will cost $1,299.99 once it goes on sale this fall. You can find more information at the source link below.
