(SINGAPORE, 7 July 2020) – Sony today introduces four exciting new models to its High-Power Audio Systems range with the MHC-V83D, MHC-V73D, MHC-V43D and MHC-V13, expanding choices for party lovers as well as families who prefer one-box styled systems with a smaller footprint and portable design.

Even more powerful sound

This new line-up of High-Power Audio Systems features key upgrades for better power and improved sound quality, such as the High-efficiency Tweeter that uses horn tweeters and High-efficiency Midrange that uses mid horn speakers. It introduces not just greater height expansion of sound but also a wider range, covering a larger area.

Omnidirectional Party Sound for MHC-V83D and MHC-V73D

The V83D and V73D features four tweeters at the front and rear to expand the sound stage upward. Additionally, the midrange distributes sound from the front and the back of the speaker, covering a wide area with improved clarity for mid-range frequencies.

The Omnidirectional Party Sound is a result of combining the front and rear tweeters, the midrange, a woofer and JET BASS BOOSTER, enabling music to reach further and wider, pleasing guests with great sound wherever they are.

Spread Sound for MHC-V43D and MHC-V13

The V43D abd V13 are both equipped with two front tweeters that spreads sound across any venue. Like the V83D and V73D, the V43D also includes the midrange. These all-new designs increase the rigdness of the cabinet, delivering stronger bass while also improving clarity.

All-new party lighting to elevate any occasion

Omnidirectional Party Light for MHC-V83D and MHC-V73D

The V83D and V73D create unforgettable atmospheres with the all-new Omnidirectional Party Light and Speaker Light. The unit sends out waves of deep blue, sky blue and green lighting along with multi-coloured stripe lighting, immersing party lovers in an authentic nightclub or outdoor festival experience by lighting up both floor and ceiling. In addition, a new animation programming is installed to create more dynamic patterns, creating an incredible atmosphere to spice up the party.

Speaker Light

The V13 comes with a multi-colour woofer light that is perfect for families to spruce up their home with an everyday compact-sized audio speaker, while the V83D, V73D and V43D’s woofer and midrange lights are a deep blue colour that is perfect for parties and events in any space.

Ambient light mode

A new Ambient light mode across the new line-up makes it easier than ever to transition lightly from party mode to non-party mode. The Ambient light mode makes it perfect for the family looking to unwind with slower and relaxing light animation.

Pure FUN! Karaoke, guitar jamming and TAIKO sessions

Karaoke and Mic input

Karaoke sessions at home have never been better. The V83D, V73D and V43D also boast a new DSP reverb module in the Microphone Echo feature, blending vocals with background music to make the experience more seamless, mirroring the feeling of singing in a concert hall. A pair of dedicated built-in microphone holders[3] contain the cables and microphone, giving a tidy and stress-free experience. Finally, the Karaoke Ranking feature scores a user’s singing and ranks it through the Fiestable app, giving users the chance to engage in friendly competition with friends and family by gunning for a spot in the top 10 leaderboard.

Guitar input                                                               

All four products within the High-Power Audio Systems range allows for three different guitar modes to be selected for the ultimate jamming session: Clean for playing pop songs, Overdrive for rock and metal tracks and Bass for a bass guitar playing experience.

Fiestable app with a new feature “Party Playlist”

The new range of audio speakers also come with an all-new feature, Party Playlist[4], where attendees can become DJs. Guests can contribute to the playlist by instantly inserting their favourite songs from their smartphones[5] via the Fiestable app, creating an engaging party experience like never before.

TAIKO mode for MHC-V83D and MHC-V73D

In TAIKO mode, you can play along on samplers including bongo, djembe, surdo and the Japanese TAIKO drum simply by tapping the top panel in time to the beat.

More durable and usable product design to party for a longer time

MHC-V83D mold cabinet with corner protectors

To protect against the inevitable knocks and bumps during transportation, the compact-sized V13 comes with two front corner protectors. The bigger V83D, V73D and V43D comes with a 360-degree robust design which includes a hard-plastic exterior that protects all sides of the unit and four corner protectors, making it long-lasting. Whenever you want to move the V83D, V73D and V43D, just hold the convenient carry handle and tilt it back. The sturdy caster lets you roll right on to the party.
