Pioneer connects audio system and motion-sensing speakers over power line
Audio system manufacturers have been brainstorming for so long the best way to connect speakers with the audio system. The traditional way is the copper wire, now we can do it over WiFi and Bluetooth. The problem with these wireless technologies is that they have limited coverage and they are subject to interference, there are also people concerned with the potential health hazards associated with 24-7 EM wave exposure. Pioneer Japan announced this morning a new line of audio systems that they call the Music.tap. What’s so special about the new system is that the speakers are connected to the main combo via the power line for the first time in the world, using the PLC broadband technnology. So you can pretty much put your speakers anywhere in the house: every single room and your basement as long as there is a power socket around.
