Inside the box was a cardboard box containing the AXX 200 's body and peripheral equipment.


This is a list of contents. USB power adapter and USB cable, manuals and carrying carrying pouch are included.


The body of AXX 200 is like this. The front side is equipped with a metal grill and it has high durability even when carrying. Two microphones are built in on the left and right of the top.


Although it is easy to see from the side, the touch screen on the top surface is tilted forward, and it is designed to be easy to operate.

The body weight was 532 grams. From this angle, you can understand the shape of a regular hexagon like a pencil.


The height was about 500 ml larger than the drink can. Imagine as much as the drink of this size both weight and size, it may be easier to grasp the image when you carry it.


The power switch on the back also functions as a Bluetooth connection button. Below that are the play button and cue button for playing microSD.


What is written as "REC" is a switch for recording and playing voice. With the AXX 200, it is also possible to record voice and phone call contents on the microSD card.


At the bottom is a port hole for bass boost, a microSD card slot, a terminal for USB power output, a headphone output jack, a terminal for external input / microphone input, and a Micro USB terminal that also serves as a PC connection and charging It is being done.

◆ Connected to smartphone with NFC and control variously
The advantage of connecting with a smartphone etc. is that it can utilize a multifunctional setting application. I tried controlling the AXX 200 from the application screen installed on the Android terminal. You can check volume, sound quality, and incoming calls to smartphones from the AXX 200 panel. Because the sensitivity of the microphone was good, we generated howling of the voice during the test, but there is no problem in actual use. In addition, it is also possible to record the contents of the phone during hands-free in microSD.
