Canston Adds White Version to LX-2200 Gaming Soundbar Lineup
SJ 2036 IC Chip & Shield Cable, Durability Upgraded with Vertical PCB Design


With the expanded implementation of smoking bans rapidly establishing a smoke-free culture within PC cafes, there is a growing urgency to change the atmosphere. This involves decorating PC cafes with concepts that combine cafes, bookstores, and food courts to attract young people, including women.

Led by large franchise PC cafes, there is a flurry of activity to move away from the previously all-black atmosphere and adopt bright interiors, aiming to imbue these spaces with meaning beyond simply being places to play games. The related market is also actively participating in this shift, with indications that the release of related peripherals has been accelerated. In particular, the speaker sector has shown signs of becoming more vibrant as various brands attempt to diversify their color palettes.

Canstone Acoustics Co., Ltd. (CEO Han Jong-min) also sensed this shift in atmosphere and decided to join the change. By releasing a white version of the 'LX-2200 Soundbar-D' for PC cafes, featuring colors that blend well with cafes and bookstores, the company is taking the lead in the black-dominated speaker market.

Soundbars, which are preferred in facilities like PC cafes, are bar-shaped speakers that have been well-regarded for their minimal installation space, stable sound quality, and ease of use. However, the lack of color options has left a significant sense of disappointment, as product releases have been predominantly black simply because black is considered the color that best complements gaming; this dissatisfaction is now expected to be resolved.

The quality has been raised to the next level. The White version is an upgraded version of the LX-2200 Soundbar-D, which has been popular in the PC bang market since its release in October 2015. Optimized for PC bang environments, it enhances the durability and convenience of the power supply and is equipped with an SJ2036 IC chip to ensure stable sound output even with frequency interference from peripheral devices. Additionally, it features a shielded cable with excellent noise suppression capabilities, enabling optimized performance even in large-scale environments.

Durability has also been maintained. The white version LX-2200 Soundbar-D uses durable ABS material instead of the recycled injection molding commonly used in entry-level soundbars, ensuring a beautiful and stable injection molding quality. Additionally, considering the characteristics of places used by many people, such as PC cafes, the PCB is designed vertically to prevent the headphone jack connection from shifting backward, which is another competitive advantage unique to Canston soundbars compared to other products.

In addition, the volume balance between the speaker and headphone jacks is set to 4.5:5.5, ensuring that users are not startled when switching from headphones to speakers. The basic design is the same as the previously released black color. With a standard width of 484mm, it widens towards the bottom to create a design that harmonizes with large monitors, and additional pads can be attached to adjust the height if needed.

Meanwhile, the Canston LX-2200 Soundbar-D White Version, which has been added in addition to the Black version, is also holding a 10+1 promotion to celebrate its launch.
