is nc.com hey guys we now move back to the
0:12
VIP section of the antech booth to check out their SP 1s many of you will have
0:16
known we use sp1 on our editing rig sometimes because it has very nice audio
0:20
quality but the main complaint that we have is it's only single Channel they've
0:24
solved that problem now you can pair two SP ons together and then pair through
0:29
your phone to one of the SP ons and then play dual Channel through them very very
0:34
very cool they also have it so that if you tap your phone on top if you have a
0:37
compatible phone like an Android phone that has a NFC you can just tap your
0:42
phone on top and it'll pair right away very very cool options it's nice to see
0:45
dual Channel with these you will have to buy two but it is very nice to see dual
0:48
Channel with these as we might use them on our editing rig they're very nice and
0:51
easy to carry around which is why we use them these are exceptionally light
0:55
because they're empty if you're wondering why I was able to shake that around then we get to the one that is
0:59
exceptionally not light this one is fully built and it is the sp3 it is not
1:04
released yet but it's huge and brings a much better base option to your mobile
1:09
products it has a leather strap on it currently although that may not come in
1:12
the actual production model because it adds a lot of cost to the unit comment
1:16
in the video If you think this is a good idea then ante can see that it might
1:19
actually be a good idea to have a real leather strap on their product I
1:22
personally think it adds a lot to it I just hope it doesn't add way too much
1:25
cost the sp3 is very nice and adds a lot of booming base to your the possibility
1:29
of your mobile products now we get to sp0 unfortunately we're missing the
1:33
other sp0 but as you can see in here you have aux in and aux out these are able
1:38
to be Daisy changed together so that you can have as many of them as you actually
1:42
want my favorite use case for this is making a gigantic circle around your
1:46
room so you can have that like 360° audio style that they had in the Matrix
1:50
if anyone saw the uh creating the Matrix Video I just brought the usable audience
1:56
for that comment down to like three people which is awesome but anyways you
2:00
can link as many of these as you want together charge them through micro USB
2:04
clip a carabiner on them carry them however you want very very versatile
2:08
very very awesome now if we move to this guy I don't know how easily I'm going to
2:12
do there we go that was actually surprisingly easy I just hit my head on the camera so hopefully that didn't
2:16
shake it too much we've got Panasonic batteries Japanese capacitors and an
2:20
antech designed PCB in their battery
2:23
pack you can tell they're actually caring about quality one of my biggest
2:27
qualms with battery packs is most people creating them care too much about
2:30
quality and just want to get them out as fast as possible very very nice button
2:35
it's very very clear easy to press another qual that I have about battery
2:39
packs is sometimes their buttons are very annoying and hard to press looks
2:42
sharp is just generally sharp but still plastic so I'm still not super hyped
2:47
about it what I am pretty super hyped about is these ones which are absolutely
2:52
great full aluminium body all the way around has a very very nice weight to it
2:57
and it is the slimmest 9,000 millia battery that I have ever seen it has a 2
3:01
amp output and a single amp output for a total of 3 amps out with an input slot
3:06
right there very very sharp actually looks classy which is a problem that
3:11
I've had with a lot of battery packs like I said previously they don't look
3:14
very classy if you had this on your person it might look very might not look
3:17
very sharp if you in a professional environment these on the other hand
3:21
