No, they are not decorative vases. What you are now looking at is the future of home theater speakers. The Altec Lansing OMNI Speakers are built that way to lessen vibrations and boost sound quality. The speakers will have a woofer, a mid speaker and a tweeter for that complete sound. Careful about handling, as the speakers are wrapped in a solid ceramic plate. No word yet on availability and pricing but one thing is for sure: the OMNI speakers have the size and performance to boot. Just like you do.
Integration is always a good thing. Webcams are always just devices that let us stream our videos or capture our stills and that’s that, nothing more. Not this webcam though, as Genius used their minds and added a couple of speakers, a USB hub, and auxiliary audio input/output with their webcam. The cam’s specs include a manual focus lens and a CMOS sensor to let you capture 1280×960 pixel stills and stream a maxium of 640×480 pixels at 30 fps. A pair of 2-watt speakers flank the webcam and it’s driven by 36mm neodymium magnets. You’d be disappointed however as it doesn’t come with a built-in mic but the audio ports at the back allow you to connect an external microphone. $60.
