Both the iPod and iPhone have become part of our modern lifestyle. And it is a clever idea to integrate such devices into a sound reproduction system that serves as a piece of interior design at the same time. The Hohrizontal 51 is a consistently designed high-quality wall shelf with integrated sound system. Mounted to the wall and boasting a powerful bass and room-filling sound, this board turns music, photos and videos played from an iPod or iPhone into a sensual experience. The Hohrizontal 51 features a digital sound processor, digital amplification and an all-purpose switch-mode power supply. Providing full multi-media compatibility, this highly functional wall shelf also connects to other components such as TV, computers, smartphones, mobile phones, and MP3 players. The particularly consistent look is complemented by the design of the sound board in different high-gloss paint or classic walnut veneer that allows for smooth integration into any room interior. Eliminating the need for other distracting appliances in the room, the sound board showcases up-to-date technology for optimised hi-fi quality and reliable operation. With its remote control and charging function for iPod and iPhone, the Hohrizontal 51 embodies a complete and sophisticated home entertainment solution.
Statement by the Jury
Looking like an elegant wall shelf at first glance turns out to be a sound system with an integrated docking station for an iPhone or iPod, as well as USB audio inputs for other media players that can be placed easily on the shelf. A high-quality piece of furniture that simultaneously functions as a brilliant sounding yet invisible loudspeaker. The sound board is available in different colour schemes and allows for multiple living room integration options.
