The M3 Plus is full of creative ideas in terms of design, and it is a comprehensive embodiment of the Wanderer's design philosophy. Thanks to its outstanding appearance and acoustic performance, the M3 Plus not only won the "GOOD DESIGN" design award in Japan, but also the Red Dot Design Award in Germany, one of the world's three major design awards.
M3 Plus is developed from the classic product M3, specifically designed for laptops. Its appearance is very unique, with a cylindrical subwoofer and a spherical satellite box, completely different from traditional 2.1 speakers. Creating this design is not only unique and beautiful, but also has practical value in practical applications. Compared to M3, the new version has optimized its appearance and adopted updated manufacturing techniques from the inside out, with more exquisite details. Improved internal circuit design, enhanced power, and significantly improved sound quality. The patented technology with built-in EIDC intelligent distortion control is a very user-friendly system that collects and calculates distortion of audio output through a single-chip microprocessor, controls amplifier gain, and achieves compatibility with high and low level inputs of different audio sources to protect the hardware system. Does it sound dizzy? In fact, its function is very practical, that is, it can automatically adapt to multiple audio sources and care for your hearing. Of course, M3 has more highlights worth showing off in front of colleagues: microcomputer controlled volume, automatic adjustment when exceeding limits; Shutdown memory volume to avoid silent startup or excessive sound caused by improper settings; The satellite box designed with a small elevation angle ensures the effect of close range listening. In the acoustic and exterior design of the M3 Plus, there are many ingenious ideas, which is a comprehensive embodiment of the design concept of the Walkman.
Walkman M3 Plus
M3 Plus is developed based on the classic product M3 platform and is specifically designed for laptops. In the acoustic and exterior design of the M3 Plus, there are many ingenious ideas, which is a comprehensive embodiment of the design philosophy of the Walkman.
Its appearance is very unique, with a cylindrical subwoofer and a spherical satellite box, making its shape very different from traditional 2.1 speakers. Making this design is not simply about pursuing uniqueness, but about the practical value of this shape in practical applications.
Through a survey of laptop users' usage habits, Walkman found that most laptop users do not effectively utilize the space behind the screen. This space is small and narrow. Can it be used to place speakers? Wanderers began to explore this aspect and found that using Cannon structured subwoofers can fully utilize this idle space.
The Cannon structure is a very special type of inverted acoustic structure that uses a long tubular acoustic cavity and a speaker to drive the air inside the tubular acoustic cavity. This structure determines that the appearance will be very different from traditional speakers. Compared to traditional design, the design difficulty of Cannon structure is much higher, so this type of structure design is not commonly seen in daily life. Cannon's structural advantage lies in its ability to achieve outstanding bass with a smaller volume.
The Walkman M3 is the first multimedia speaker product to use the Cannon structure, effectively utilizing idle desktop space without taking up too much workspace. It inherits the advantages of Cannon structure, and its subwoofer has received rave reviews. The M3 Plus is an upgraded version of the M3. The M3 Plus focuses on further optimizing the Cannon structure, with a 2cm increase in the subwoofer compared to the previous generation. However, the sound performance has once again greatly improved, and compared to much larger traditional speakers, the M3 Plus' bass is no less impressive.
The subwoofer shell of M3 Plus is made of black matte aluminum shell, with a noble texture. The internally integrated amplifier system cleverly utilizes an aluminum casing to generate heat, without damaging the appearance and solving the heat dissipation problem. Compared to the old version of M3, the power of M3 Plus subwoofer has been increased by more than 50%, and it is reasonable to have better bass performance.
There is a small inverted triangle power indicator light on the M3 Plus subwoofer, which is not particularly special when in operation. Once the speaker enters standby mode, the power indicator light will start simulating the changing brightness of human breathing rhythm during sleep. It makes people feel like the M3 Plus is a small pet dozing off.
The body of the satellite box adopts advanced injection molding technology, and the black glossy surface is made by one-time demolding, which is the color of the material itself, not sprayed. This process keeps the box in a beautiful and bright state forever, without the worry of paint peeling or fading. Paired with a spherical metal mesh cover, the satellite box presents a spherical shape that, when viewed from the side, exudes the aura of a fencer helmet. The M3 Plus has only two control buttons, which are placed on the satellite box, making it easier to operate. Although there are only two buttons, by combining them, it is possible to perform operations such as turning on and off the speaker, adding or removing speakers, and muting them.
When adjusting the volume, the indicator light will flash, and when approaching the maximum volume, the flashing will accelerate to remind the user. After the volume adjustment is completed, the M3 Plus will automatically remember the volume.
The design of M3 Plus emphasizes a user-friendly interface, which is not only reflected in its simple handling, but also in its clever utilization of space. More reflected in the built-in E.I.D.C technology.
The speakers of the satellite box have also undergone a lot of optimization work, with the power of the satellite box increased by 40% and the performance greatly improved. Its sound quality performance is enough to surprise and amaze people.
The globally leading E.I.D.C technology (patent number: ZL200520018567.8)
In real life, we may encounter situations where speakers are connected to different devices (such as MP3 players, sound cards, laptops, etc.), resulting in inconsistent volume levels. Sometimes, when the volume is just right, switching to another device can cause the sound to be very noisy and difficult to hear. This is due to the distortion caused by the inconsistent output levels of each device, and the degree of distortion determines the quality of the sound. The Wanderer proposed E.I.D.C. technology to address this issue.
E. The full English name of I.D.C. is Edifier Intelligent Distortion Control, which stands for Intelligent Distortion Control System for Walkers. Currently, it has applied for patents in multiple countries such as China and the United States. EIDC uses a single-chip microprocessor to collect and calculate the distortion of power output, and automatically controls the gain of the amplifier to achieve compatibility between high and low level inputs of different audio sources, avoiding hardware damage and caring for your hearing.
Based on years of theoretical exploration and continuous experimental improvement, we have designed the E.I.D.C. intelligent distortion control patented technology and successfully applied it to our products. E. The core of I.D.C. technology is:
- Detecting and collecting distortion levels;
- Using a single-chip microcontroller (MCU) and optimization algorithms in software programming for parameter calculation;
- MCU is used to control and adjust the gain of the amplifier.
The EIDC system has added MCU intelligent processor, distortion and waveform detection circuit, adjustment operation interface, and changed the ordinary analog volume adjustment to a digital volume potentiometer IC. The distortion and waveform detection circuit samples from the final output of the power amplifier and converts the distortion signal into a pulse width signal for MCU acquisition and calculation. The control main program of MCU adopts optimization algorithm to determine whether the distortion exceeds the limit and make correction instructions. It controls the electronic volume integration block through I2C bus to achieve the purpose of controlling the overall gain of the amplifier.
E. I.D.C was first applied in M3, and M3 Plus, as its successor, also retained this advanced automatic anti distortion technology. This technology allows users to obtain undistorted sound without human intervention, especially for users who are not familiar with audio, which is a blessing. E.I.D.C prevents problems from occurring and saves these users time solving them.
