Jarre's Aerodream

What kicks out 10,000W, is 3.5-metres tall and costs 400,000 Euros? September will know it is the electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre’s latest, greatest speaker system — the AeroDream One.
Jarre unveiled what he claims is the “the largest hi-fi system in the world” with a demonstration of its awesome power. First up was one of his own compositions, Oxygene 2, followed by thesoaring voice of Whitney Houston, which effortlessly downed out the cacophony of sound and music in the huge IFA hall. The AeroDream is the ultimate evolution of Technologies Jarre’s range of high-performance homeentertainment products, which debuted at last year’s IFA with the AeroSystem One.
The iPhone- and iPod-compatible HD multidirectional sound tower has now been joined by the chic, sleek AeroPad One and AeroPad Two iPod, iPad and iPhone dock speakers. For Jarre, however, the AeroDream’s significance is about more than making a big noise — albeit a lush, crystal clear and beautifully balanced one.
“In recent years, we have lost that emotional link with sound,” he said, speaking exclusively to IFA International before the AeroDream launch. “We are paying less attention to the way we listen to music. I think it’s time to restore that emotional link while creating the ideal hi-fi system for the 21st century.”
