Handson Adcom Luna Wireless Speaker
Sound & Vision|May 2017

LUNA IS NOT YOUR FATHER’S Adcom. As the first speaker to bear the familiar red logo, from a relatively recent licensee of the venerable old brand, it has no common heritage with the fine power amplifiers and preamplifiers on which the original company built its name in the ’80s and ’90s, except for its dominant color—black.

Funny thing is, at a glance you probably wouldn’t even know it’s a speaker. It could easily be mistaken for an accent piece. It’s beautiful to look at, but even if you’re not a fan of its modern design, there’s no denying that Luna is unusual in the world of portable wireless speakers..

Adcom’s sonic discus is about 13.5 inches across and expands gracefully from 0.75 inch on its metal edge to 3.5 inches in the middle. Fine fabric on its face conceals a plastic baffle that holds a pair of 3-inch drivers mounted in a sealed enclosure supported by a metal kickstand. Behind the kickstand is a USB port and three minijacks— one input and two outputs (one for headphones).

The circular opening at the top of the speaker is a distinct design element, but it also serves as a convenient handle. You can control Luna using the buttons on its top rim, a disc-shaped infrared remote that fits in the palm of your hand, or the Undok app on your smartphone or tablet.

Luna is equipped to operate over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and supports aptX 4.0 for high quality streaming over Bluetooth, provided you have a compatible source. It supports WMA, AAC, and MP3.

The Big Clean

Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner

When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
