aiwa tab AS11, equipped with 8Way Audio, has launched early on the Makuake crowdfunding platform. The new product is a 10.95-inch Android tablet designed to provide an immersive audio experience.
aiwa tab AS11 is a tablet featuring 8Way Audio, which transforms videos and music users normally watch and listen to into immersive sound in real time. No dedicated content or special environment is required, and everyday videos, music, live footage, and sports broadcasts can be played with immersive audio. In addition, the combination of a large 10.95-inch display and immersive sound provides a more realistic viewing experience than before.
8Way Audio is a patented technology jointly developed by ネオス株式会社 and next Sound株式会社. It uses phase control to reproduce the spread of sound in front, behind, to the left, right, above, and below in real time. The aiwa version is audio tuned for tablets and supports speaker environments as well as earphones. High-resolution playback of services such as Netflix may not be supported, depending on the service.
Key specifications include a large display supporting Widevine L1, an octa-core CPU, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a 7,500mAh battery, Android 16, and dual speakers. Wireless LAN supports IEEE 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n, while the cameras have 5MP resolution on the front and 8MP on the rear. The tablet is designed for everyday use, with USB-C and microSD support. It is sold by aiwaマーケティングジャパン and promoted as a product of the テクミラ group.
