It ’s form over use to the extreme , but JVC Kenwood is hunky-dory with that . Because the speakers , priced at $ 3,400 for the big twelve - column inch model and $ 700 for the smaller five - inch poser , were really only designed to spiel one matter : the noise of a forest .
The company will be volunteer an resultant monthly subscription avail in Japan that streams sounds catch by two forest - base microphone . One is set up on Honshu , in the Japanese Alps near Takayama . The other is near Morotsuka , on the mountainous southernmost island of Kyushu , sleep together for its volcanoes and hot springiness .
This like a laughably expensive version of one of those white noise machines — minus the “ whale song ” and “ ocean waves ” options . Would you pay a agiotage to know you ’re take heed live to an honorable - to - God forest ? [ The Asahi ShimbunviaMoCo Loco ]
