Sony has announced the new flagship "NW-WM1ZM2" and the high-end model "NW-WM1AM2" of the portable audio terminal brand "Walkman" developed by the company.
The company announced a new model in the Walkman flagship high-end model for the first time in about five years since the "NW-WM1Z" and "NW-WM1A" released in 2016.
The new model, "NW-WM1ZM2", has inherited the "Signature Series", which crystallizes both analog and digital high-quality technology that Sony has cultivated for many years.Both models are equipped with a digital amplifier "S-Master HX".
There is a period of five years, and both models are powered up in many ways compared to the predecessor.
First, Android is used for the OS.As with the 2017 NW-A45, the author's own model "NW-WM1Z/WM1A" used Sony's unique OS.However, almost all series, from low -priced zones to high -priced zones, have adopted Android OS.Walkman's unique OS was a subtle thing that was easy to use or difficult to use.With Android, not only Spotify and Apple Music, but also high -quality sound streaming services such as Amazon Music HD are available.The OS version of "NW-WM1ZM2/WM1AM2" is Android 11.
Next, the external connection terminal has been changed from the conventional "WM-Port" to the USB Type-C.
Many walkmen have adopted "WM-PORT", which have a unique shape.However, this terminal lacks physical stability at the time of connection.By the way, the Walkman I have, just dropped it once, caused a bad connection.
Also, when the cable was lost, it was a unique standard, so it was not sold at convenience stores, and it was necessary to visit nearby electronics retailers.The genuine cable, of course, is high, has a few third -party ones, and is quite expensive even for third -party.Regarding USB Type-C support, there have been many voices for a long time, and it has been adopted this time according to the request.
"NW-WM1ZM2" uses an oxygen-free copper chassis, which keeps impurities to 1/4 of the conventional.99.By reducing the resistance value due to high purity that boasts 99%, it realizes a high -pitched and clear and powerful bass.In addition, "NW-WM1AM2" uses a total of all-shaped aluminum chassis, which has not only reduced resistance values but also high rigidity.
In terms of regeneration, DSD up to 11.Supports high -resolution sound source playback with 2MHz native and up to 384kHz / 32bit linear PCM.Both models are equipped with a full digital amplifier "S-Master HX", and a newly developed high-molecular condenser "FTCAP3" is a bypass condenser that prevents noise and outflow in the audio block power supply.
Regarding the comparison with the predecessor series, Denki Morikawa of the Sony -certified store, which is sometimes taken care of, is explained in detail using the actual machine.From the comparison, the screen size is two times larger, and the thickness is slightly thinner.
The built-in storage of "NW-WM1ZM2" is 256GB and the "NW-WM1AM2" will be released on March 25, 2022.Both are open prices, but reservations have already begun at the Sony official online store, "NW-WM1ZM2" is 396,000 yen including tax, and "NW-WM1AM2" is 159,500 yen including tax.
The concern is that there is no change from the existing Android WALKMAN model in the mounted chips.For this reason, it is likely that the power saving at the time of standing is likely to be low.
For the first time in five years, SONY serious flagship walkman appeared.Although it is a price that I can not reach at all, I would like to actually listen to it at the store and experience the difference.
