Sony Sountina

By Duncan Madden

It doesn't happen often enough for our liking but Sony has today shrugged off tradition and actually put into production one of its delicious concept designs first unveiled a year ago.

The Sony Sountina is a very distinct looking high-end speaker. Crafted from transparent organic glass it offers a non-directional sound thanks to the tubular properties that vibrate and expand the sonics it's amplifying to cover a 360-degree area.

Listed stats say a frequency response of 50-20,000Hz, with a 130mm subwoofer, 70mm midrange speaker and organic glass tweeter. It also carries line-in, coaxial and optical connectors.

Measuring 325x1845x325mm and weighing in at 12.5kg, it costs a not insignificant €6,500 and will be available throughout Europe in bespoke shops from June 20. Go on, treat yourself.
