Canstone Launches F&D T180X, Upgraded and Improved Version with Further Enhanced Product Features
From ultra-slim TVs 50 inches or larger to high-resolution Quantum Dot TVs 60 inches or larger

The resolution competition for ultra-slim TVs is moving beyond 4K toward Quantum Dot displays, which are described as offering the ultimate picture quality. Quantum Dot displays, which are evaluated as having colors close to real-life colors and are also known by the nickname "Nanocrystal," have one drawback: their speaker performance is slightly lacking.

The fact that soundbars are being discussed as essentials to improve the relatively poor sound quality is also part of the measures to compensate for the shortcomings of popularized ultra-slim TVs.

However, not all soundbars are created equal. If you are looking for a soundbar speaker to use with an ultra-slim TV, support for Bluetooth, Optical, Coaxial, USB, and AUX is paramount. In particular, Optical and Coaxial input terminals are essential features that must be present to connect to high-end products.

Just then, multimedia speaker brand F&D announced the launch of the T180X soundbar, optimized for the Quantum Dot display market, through Canstone Acoustics, a company specializing in audio equipment, satisfying all market needs.



In particular, this product is characterized as an upgraded version of the F&D T180 released in 2013. The newly reborn F&D T180X further enhances the product quality of the F&D T180, which received good reviews in the home theater market, by reflecting 2016 market trends, while also improving convenience.

It features the thin and sophisticated design characteristic of soundbars, and as a joint product of Canston and F&D, it incorporates the long-standing sound technology of both companies. It outputs stable sound based on dual 76.2mm full-range units optimized for sound, while a 25.4mm tweeter installed to further enhance resolution boasts a clear and crisp sound.

Above all, the 40-watt output quality, which is suitable for large living rooms in apartments of 50 pyeong or more as well as large displays of 60 inches or more, is the strength and technological prowess of the F&D T180X.

By equipping it with a Class-D amplifier circuit that stabilizes powerful output, the 2-channel output system, which was identified as a limitation of the existing T180, has been upgraded to a 2.1-channel system, allowing users to experience vivid sound as if they were actually at the scene.



Of course, it features digital optical and coaxial terminals, as well as Bluetooth functionality—a recent trend in digital equipment—removing limitations on the range of applications from TVs to game consoles and mobile devices. Additionally, it provides a USB terminal, allowing playback simply by connecting a USB memory stick containing MP3 audio files.

Canston, a company specializing in audio equipment, plans to take the lead in the soundbar market for high-end displays larger than 50 inches, starting with the F&D T180X. At the same time, Canstone, which has already established a strong reputation for 'value for money,' focused on further lowering the burden of purchase by removing the price bubble from this product as well.

Another strength is that it comes standard with a remote control for convenient soundbar use, allowing you to focus on watching movies or listening to music even from the sofa.



"The high level of consumer interest in the T180 was the biggest driving force behind the creation of the T180X, and most of the modifications this time were made by adding features based on requests from domestic consumers," said Choi Dae-yeon, Deputy General Manager at Canstone, expressing their willingness to actively accept customer feedback and make changes in the future.

Meanwhile, the upgraded T180X is scheduled to be sold for around 160,000 won, and starting tomorrow, October 5, it will be sold for 99,000 won with a limited run of 500 units through 11st Shocking Deal.
