Outdoor Monophonic Speaker System Goes Wire Free Wild
Posted by Haroon Malik at 11:00 AM on October 29, 2007
The summer's on its way, so good times for those who like to take their tunes outdoors. Sharper Image's Wireless Outdoor Monophonic One-Speaker System—besides having a ridiculously long name—is here to help. The stylish speaker will allow you to pump your beats, via the included 2.4GHz transmitter, from MP3 player to glorified outdoor speaker. If the sun refuses to shine on your party in the park, the soft blue lighting will bring illumination to your festivities—is there nothing the Sharper Image people have not thought of?
Apparently not, since the system also has a 50m range. Mind you, that is hard to believe, even with the 2.4GHz transmitting goodness. Getting your music into the great urban jungle, for all to hear, shall set you back $199.95. [Coolest Gadgets]

There's an iPod next to it in the picture, for scale.

Why is it "Monophonic"? Does it play only one note at a time? I realize that word can mean "a single recording channel," but then the name is redundant. I know, it's Sharper Image, I shouldn't think about it this hard.

Glad it has a strong possibility to interfere with my wi-fi network.
If it has a blue LED, it must be on the cutting edge of technology! SharperImage

Technically, the word is "Monoaural".
But "Monophonic" would be a cutesy marketing play on "Stereophonic"...

Monaural and monophonic are the same thing:
