Yandex company introduced the second generation of its very first smart column “Station”. This is stated in a press release received by the editorial board “Renta.ru”.
Updated Yandex.station differs from the original presence of more advanced speakers with a total capacity of 30 watts and a special acoustic grille. The latter has a aperiodic structure and is less distorting the sound passing through it. Also, the device was added to the support of the Room Correction technology, due to which the station compensates for the acoustic effects of the room.
The device has saved a rectangular shape, however, on the top panel, instead of a physical ring for adjusting the sound, a luminous panel was placed, which responds to user actions and columns. The device has received support for the protocol of the smart home ZigBee, which is used by many manufacturers of household devices.
“Station” can be combined into a stereo pair with any other column from “Yandex”. “We decided to focus on sound, design and smart home, so” Alice “will live in ideal conditions,” said Sergey Melnik, head of smart devices “Yandex”.
New “Station” will be available in anthracite colors, cobalt, sand and copper. The column will go on sale in the first half of 2022, its cost is not specified.
Original Yandex.stand was presented in 2018. In October, the Russian company released a new “mini station” with a LED display and a more powerful speaker, as well as a “Module” media recording.
