Solid State (Of The Art)

Clarion, first winners of a Talk Audio State Of The Art award have a new deck out that has no bits that move or whirr. One day we will look back at the whole concept of moving parts and wonder why mankind put up with it for so long as they tend to succumb to entropy before solid state or non-moving parts built things.
With the introduction of the new and highly stylised FB278RBT audio head unit, Clarion is able to deliver audio streaming and playback without the need for any mechanical parts.
Leading the next generation of audio source units, the FB278RBT benefits from built-in Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP & AVRCP) and Bluetooth handsfree calling technology (HFP & HSP) whilst MP3 playback (including ID3-TAG display) is made possible thanks to an SD card slot behind the flip-down control panel.

The bold, futuristic looks of the FB278RBT are created through a 728 variable colour display, whilst indirect lighting falling on to the unit makes each of the four, white acrylic arched buttons either side of the central rotary volume control, appear to float like finscreating the ‘Metal Shark’ design.
Also featuring 18 FM station presets via an RDS-EON tuner, an AUX in as well as 2-channel audio pre-out and 4 x 50 watts of amplification, the FB278RBT has a typical selling price of just £149.00 via its appointed dealers across the UK, or £134.00 for members of Club Clarion.
