Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves What happens when NAD, creator of high-performance home theater and hi-fi components turns their attention to the iPod dock? The VISO 1, that's what. The system is a composition of curved, flowing lines and surfaces, giving the VISO 1 a beautifully organic look while enhancing the acoustic performance of the speakers. Attention-grabbing sound Inside the VISO 1 is an array of sophisticated electronic circuitry. The system bypasses the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in your Apple device to bring the digital music files into the VISO 1 for decoding by its own advanced DAC. Each of the two high-performance full-range speakers has its own amp, ensuring accurate, robust sound quality. And the two speakers are housed separately, to prevent acoustic cross-interference, keeping the sound clean and clear. VISO was co-designed with NAD's sister company PSB, known for their high-performance speakers. Their expertise went into the VISO 1's carefully constructed woofer. It handles the low frequencies, delivering clean, full bass. A special circuit compensates for clipping, so even at maximum volume there's no harsh distortion with your music. You'll enjoy a spacious soundfield that has real presence. High-fidelity Bluetooth The key to the VISO 1's exceptional wireless sound quality is Bluetooth aptX, a technology that retains virtually all the detail of the audio it carries. But don't worry if you don't have the latest and greatest device the VISO 1 is also backwards-compatible with earlier forms of Bluetooth. So you can wirelessly stream your music from almost any portable device and still enjoy great sound. High-quality video, too Enjoy video and photos stored on your iPod or iPhone on "the big screen." The VISO 1 has component video output to deliver the highest quality images from your docked player to your TV. The dock rotates, so you can orient your player horizontally or vertically.

The UI is limited by what the iPod allows, so if you allow the iPod to lock, the remote with the NAD won't be able to start it playing again until you wake up the iPod from its own screen. Pros: Great sound Cons: Limited UI Was this review helpful? Yes No Nad Viso 1 Wireless Digital Music System Written By Michael, Carrollton, Kentucky on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great, one of the best if not the best sounding iPod dock I've heard great price from Crutchfield and very fast shipping I would highly recommend Pros: Bluetooth, light weight, price, sound, and it has a very long cord Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Written By DanM, Oklahoma on Sunday, December 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is amazing how much and the quality of sound this small system produces. It is as good as they say. I very much enjoy using it with Spotify Exteam streaming docked by Iphone. It does make a diffrence docked verses Bluetooth don't let they kid you. I am not saying it is not a quality sound but I will say it falls short of the quality that it exudes when it is docked. I have several systems that cost much more than this little dock and I will say it gives them a good run for the money. Pros: Very small and ezy to use. Very smooth and full rang audio. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Visio Written By Anonymous, 92646 on Saturday, December 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The NAD Visio exceeded my expectations. It is a perfect addition to my game room. The design, ease if use, and sound quality fantastic. Pros: Bass response and sharpness of the highs. Cons: There is a button to go from Ipod source to bluetooth, but no indication showing what source you are using. It isn't too much of a problem, just takes a little getting use to it. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Written By Bill in Jersey, new jersey on Sunday, November 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound, big volume, could have been done with less base, more high end, but great buy for the money, can fill a room or good size outdoor area Pros: Volume Cons: Heavy bass 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wireless system Written By dB, Abq on Sunday, September 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is great. Unfortunately blue tooth functionalty is severely limited. My devices must be close and the signal seems to cut out way to often. The only way I can use it is with my phone actually plugged into it. Pros: Awesome sound Cons: Crappy blue tooth... Was this review helpful? Yes No great little system Written By fwd, Towson, MD on Sunday, September 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ended up deciding to give this system a shot to replace a Boston Acoustics desktop system, largely because the clearance price (they've updated the model) seemed too good to pass up. It turns out I would have been satisfied with it at full price. Easy connectivity, excellent sound for its size (articulates low-end particularly well), and seems to be very good build quality. Pros: Great overall sound--to my ears, beats comparable Bose, etc. Truly outstanding articulation at low end, without overpowering. Easy bluetooth connectivity. Easy Ipod connectivity. Cons: Stereo separation isn't as good as some comparably priced systems if compared at full price. Doesn't reproduce solo strings as well as some systems I've had before. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso 1 - best value Written By BobH, Boulder, Co on Monday, September 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set-up. Sounds great. Full range with excellent bass response. Pros: Excellent sound for the price. Cons: Not sure if we'll use the video out. About 25ft range max with iPhone 4S bluetooth. Was this review helpful? Yes No I love this speaker!!! Written By Michael, East Hanover, NJ on Monday, September 01, 2014 One of the best speakers you can buy, or for the price, buy it now!

Great sound, good quality but just a bit larger than I thought. Was this review helpful? Yes No Blue tooth speaker Written By Tony, Concord california on Sunday, August 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this after doing a bunch if internet research. Smokin deal for the price, used it for movies in the backyard and it provided great sound. Somehow it doesn't sound as good inside though... Pros: Easy to use sounds great in backyard Cons: Can't remove iPod holder, we never use it. Bluetooth does the trick. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best system for the money Written By Kevin, Portland, OR on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great and has a very clear range that can be distinguished between treble and bass frequencies. Pros: Sounds amazing Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso 1 - Solid Deal Written By Bill B, Brooklyn NY on Monday, July 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a separate NAD power amp and pre-amp for my main home stereo - so I am familiar and generally pleased with the sonic attributes of their products - these drive Martin Logan speakers. The NAD VISO 1 is a well made product and for the price, its a great bargain. I have the new Iphone 5S so it does not directly hook into the NAD unit - rather I rely upon the blue tooth feature to listen to music. Although built by an audiophile company - the unit does not offer the true depth of sound you get from a full stereo system - with separate speakers. However, what the NAD VISO 1 product offers is decent bass in a relatively small package and can operate at reasonably loud sound levels without too much distortion. Sound reproduction is not colored and does not cause listening fatigue. For most listeners I believe the product will be a sound purchase. For those seeking true experience audiophile you will have to invest considerably more. Would I buy this product again? Yes - absolutely. I use this product in a second home (apartment) living room. Pros: Well constructed, attractive package with easy interface. Decent - or very good - sound reproduction in a small form factor. Overall high quality. Cons: Mediocre remote - almost an after thought - NAD should have spent a couple more hours of time designing this element. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Grand Theft Written By L.J., Gardena,california on Thursday, July 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A steal for price. Pros: I played Jeannie Luc Ponty "Intuition" and I was sold. Cons: Should have bought two more. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Class Act !! Written By doubtingtom, St George, UT on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This review factors in available price reduction(s) due to older 30-pin iPod dock. Rating would still be very high, but current value for money is superb. To have quality sound available in different locations is important to us. The NAD Viso 1 is reasonably easy for anyone to move around and requires only line power for full functionality with a range of portable sources. We use iPod Touch 5 (with lightning adapter), or its Bluetooth 4.0, or Surface RT running Spotlite App. I am lifelong pianist/keyboardist and fairly critical of products which fail to provide 'decent' reproductions of acoustic piano recordings. The NAD Viso 1 meets my/our needs given typical listening environment(s) on quiet, private, rear decks or in activity rooms ..... garage, sewing, bedroom. NAD Support has been outstanding and has increased my awareness of VISO 1's quality amplifier and speaker designs. We are quite pleased with this purchase and are even considering a second VISO 1 for concurrent listening in multiple locations. Using an Apple TV, connecting with toslink optical digital cable allows convenient Airplay of various music files from iPod Touch 5 (or other capable sources.). Pros: Quality, appearance, portability, ease of setup & use, remote control Cons: iPod dock adapter and 'iffy' mounting security for Apple lightning connector devices. This is no issue for us with only two adults involved, and is far more than offset by current pricing (July 2014). iPod Classic (30-pin) would be a great alternative source. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso 1 Written By Bob R., Madison, Wisconsin on Monday, July 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unbelievable! I have purchased 3 or 4 Ipod docks in my life and NEVER (even the ones I paid $500.00 for) could ever out perform the Nad Viso 1 Ipod doc. The real bonus is that I paid only $250.00 for this outstanding unit. I think I am going to get another one. Great sound, easy to operate, and has digital input so I can listen to my deck for music, news, etc. in crystal clear audio. Top it off with free shipping and a no hassle return policy, you have the best of both worlds. Thank you Crutchfield, you really nailed this one! Bob Pros: Best analog to digital converter I have ever heard. Free shipping, great price. Cons: Nothing except I had to choose either white or black. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso 1 Bluetooth Speaker Written By Bob S, Michigan on Sunday, July 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a nice, solid, well built powered speaker. Very good sound for the size and very easy to set up. I bought a Denon Cocoon before this one, but had to return it because it would not connect to the Wifi. This unit connected with no problem. It's being used to stream I-tunes radio and Pandora from the iPhone with no problems. Pros: We'll built. Sounds very good. Easy to use and set up. Looks good. Cannot beat this speaker for the price. Cons: None, so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing Sound!!!!!! Written By Sean C., Cape Cod, MA. on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After an enormous amount of research on wireless speaker systems.

I've only connected via Bluetooth from my iPhone 5s so far and the sound is JUST AMAZING!! The BASS is amazing!!! I would give it 10 stars but the only allow 5...LOL!!! I could go on and on about this unit because it's that nice, but HEARING IS BELIEVING!!!

This is one incredible sound system. BUY IT NOW!! Take advantage of the clearance price, this is definitely worth the original price. The sound is clear, with great bass. Pros: Beautiful sound and incredible price Cons: not very portable, it is a little heavy, but well made Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System Written By donald r, coal township, pa. on Tuesday, June 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) sound was amazing for a unit opt this Sound was amazing for a unit of this size and price. Bass was terrific. Plenty of volume. Exceptional value.The only reason I brave it a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star was because I could not get my older I-pod to work with the speaker. The I-pod fit perfectly on the deck but I copuld not play the recorded music from the I-pod. Pros: sound Cons: lack of rca in port. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great wireless speaker Written By DavidG, Alpharetta, GA on Friday, May 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you're a music fan and care about how your music sounds. You'll love the deep rich sound from this wireless speaker. It's not super light and small, nor is it very heavy or too large. Though it may not be the most easily portable wireless speaker available - it's certainly one of the best, if not the best, in terms of sound quality. No regrets on this purchase! Bluetooth synching with iOS and Android is quick and easy. Pros: Top notch sound quality. Cons: Not the most easily portable of wireless speakers. But with good speakers and component build, you're not going to get anything super light. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Written By KC, Fort Worth, TX on Friday, May 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this for my son's graduation to take to college for dorm use. Sound quality is outstanding. Very easy to use - docking (although not lightning connection) or bluetooth. He and his friends love it. The sale price made this a great value. I have now bought one for myself. Pros: Sound quality and volume; ease of use; appearance-interesting, kind of "artsy" Cons: It doesn't have lightning connection or apple airplay, but bluetooth works well, so for the price/quality, I do not consider this a major issue. Was this review helpful? Yes No What a speaker! ! Written By Anonymous, Manati, PR on Sunday, May 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Incredible solid sound for that size of speaker.

Yes No NAD Viso 1 Written By msshannon, Chicago,Il on Thursday, May 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent quality,fills the room with crystal clear sound and surprising bass. the design works well with any interior setting. Crutchfield is second to none in service and remarkable deals. Pros: sound,sound,sound for an iPod dock! one, if not the best on the market in its field and value for money. Cons: of yet, nothing! does what its designed for very,very well. Was this review helpful? Yes No SOUNDS GOOD Written By skydriver, san diego on Saturday, May 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Expensive, but sounds good compared to others. No separate bass or treble controls but to my ear the sound output is right on. IMPORTANT--with this model understand that the newer iPod Touch with the Lightening style connection will not work, and if you add an adapter, the height will be too long and will not fit in the designed area. This model is being highly discounted, so I assume it is on its way out. If you have an older iPod, it seems to be a good deal. Crutchfield gives excellent service. Pros: Great full sound for the size. Good value when discounted. Cons: No bass, treble controls. Does not work with new iPod touch with Lightening connector. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Top of Its Class Written By AlanG, Memphis, TN on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It was time to replace my aging Bose SoundDock Portable which had served me well over the years. I checked out several devices at my local B/M stores in the $400 to $700 range with my overall objective being sound quality 1st, form factor 2nd and functionality 3rd. Listening in the store is never really helpful so I purchased a few speakers and brought them home, checking out offerings from Bose and Sonos. While they had nice form, functionality and build quality, the sound quality just wasn't up to spec. I read reviews about the NAD Viso 1 and decided to give it a shot. I ordered from Crutchfield and the shipping is first rate - got it in 2 days with no shipping cost WOW is this thing impressive! The detail and presence of music is mighty impressive. The bass is fantastic without a hint of port noise or rattling. Not only does the Viso 1 sound great up close but it projects very well across a large room or outdoors. Low quality recordings and low bit-rate MP3 files are made apparent at times and if you don't have detailed and dynamic sound emitting from the Viso 1 its due to the music files Pros: Bang for the buck, build quality, sound quality and volume. Also very easy to setup and use Cons: I would prefer a matte finish over the glossy 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Simple Written By Kevin, Harleton, Texas on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the VISO 1 as a gift for my wife, so rather than the highest possible integrity, I was more focused on a system that is easy to use and sounds good. That describes this unit exactly. We've been pumping music through it, off and on, for a week or so now, and the Bluetooth has yet to drop. The sound feels a little flat and mid-heavy, seems to lack crystalline highs and thunderous lows. Overall, though, it is more than adequate to fire up while working around the house or as background music for some 42 and cocktails. Originally, I was leaning toward the Zepplin Air, looking for the best possible acoustic recreation, but, after reading numerous reviews, I determined that going with a Bluetooth unit would save both cash and frustration, while still providing great sound. So, if you are more casual listener than audiophile, and have no desire to embark on a complicated setup, the VISO 1 comes highly recommended. Pros: Ease of setup and usage; Reliability; Room filling sound; Value. Cons: Lacks definition at extreme high and low end. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Overall a solid product Written By Rick, Auburn, GA on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit was purchased to provide my wife portable system with decent sound quality. So far we are both pleased with the sound of this unit. It actually surpasses what I expected from a unit of this size. The only gripes, and they are small, is that it would be nice if there were an indicator showing the currently selected source and a bit more robust remote control for using a 'docked' iPod. The remote control appears to only allow you to skip forward and backward within the currently selected album or artist, you cannot fully control the iPod's navigation. But since my wife is primarily using the unit via the blue tooth link to her smart phone, this is a minor issue. Pros: Excellent build quality, surprisingly good sound quality -- as expected from NAD. Cons: No selected source indicator, minimal iPod control via the remote. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso 1 Written By Craig,, San Jose, CA on Thursday, December 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow, just got this today and its sounds great. Very happy with this purchase and with Crutchfield. I was burned by another on-line site before and I was hesitant to take another chance, glad I did. Pros: Plays loud and clean (Not blaring but loud). Met expectations especially after reading all these reviews. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sounds and punch Written By Shon, Alpharetta on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just received by Viso 1 today and am very happy. It plays loud and hits pretty hard. I can't imagine there are many other wireless music systems that match this NAD for $299. For the price this system can't be beat. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD Viso Written By Ryan, Newburgh on Friday, November 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is incredible. It was pricey but the sound is one in a million. I have a Samsung sound bar that I bought with my TV (both from Crutchfield, ofcourse :)) and that was playing my music before. However, the bad thing about this was I could only play from my PlayStation 3 which was old music I put on there. And the sound bar sounded good but after a certain volume level it lost detail and I could hear hisses, pops, and a high pitch screech which was annoying. So I finally chose the NAD Viso and got that home I was super stoked! I just have to turn the NAD Viso on connect my laptop with the Bluetooth feature which takes seconds, and I can listen to music right from my laptop anywhere in my room/house. Freaking sweet!! And if I feel like plugging in my IPod classic for some more music choices then I can just connect it to the front connector. I have to say that the Bluetooth feature really makes this system that much more awesome. Nice bass response, not rumbling, window shaking bass but it is a nice solid bass. The amps for each speaker creates great response from the speakers and clear, music that sounds alive and real. Pros: Bluetooth, amps for each speaker, ported bass, and the best part is that it is sold by Crutchfield. Cons: Pricey, the IPod connector is sensitive so my IPod doesn't just connect I have to play around with it before my IPod actually connects, sensor for remote is at the bottom near the ON light which is not so convenient. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO Wireless System Written By Jay B, Memphis, TN on Thursday, July 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's as good as my Bowers & Wilkins speaker with the added convenience of portability. I usually leave it in the sunroom and move it out back while we are in the pool. It has exceptional sound even with the noise from the water features of the swimming pool going. I can only crank up the NAD VISO about two-thirds without blowing out the neighbors! It sounds great whether it is hooked to my iPod directly or using the Bluetooth. The bass is as good as promised. It really is an awesome sound system. We play everything from The Beach Boys to Flo Rida to Mozart and it reproduces the highs and lows wonderfully. I am very pleased with this purchase! Pros: Great sound system and Crutchfield is an awesome company. I bought my first car stereo from Crutchfield for my Trans Am in 1979 and they always deliver as promised! When the delivery guy handed this box to me he said "Whatever this is, it will probably rock, because Crutchfield only carries great products." I thought that was funny but I agree. Cons: An attachment for the remote to keep it handy would've been nice. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Written By Kris, Matthews, NC (Charlotte) on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is exactly as good as you hope, which is GREAT! Low end is crazy good. Room ambiance and stereo separation is terrific - I've used this in a small room (11 x 12) and large (22 x 30) with the same great results. Also works great as a "sound bar" for your flat screen TV via the optical IN port. Got a "WD TV Live" or similar streaming HDMI device to watch movies and TV shows from your home PC on your flat screen TV? The optical OUT can feed the sound to your VISO's optical IN to get BIG SOUND while you watch the picture on your TV. Pros: Compact, ridiculous sound quality, powerful, excellent analog-to-digital conversion, solid construction Cons: remote could be much better (very) minor - wish the power cord plug was positioned differently to avoid pressure if the unit rocks backwards. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Written By MNguy, St Paul, MN on Monday, June 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I tried a Sonos Play 5 first, the sound was OK, however it was difficult to connect and I had to play around with the bridge location. In the end the connectivity just wasn't good enough so the customer service folks at Crutchfield and the tech support folks were excellent and helped me swap to the VISO 1. WOW, what a difference, superb sound quality and up and running in less than 5 minutes. Took it out on the porch and had the neighbors round admiring the sound. I'm very happy. Pros: Great bass and mid/high range. Cons: Still got an iPhone 4S, so I'm OK, presumably NAD will come out with and adaptor for the 5, or Bluetooth works really well. Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System Written By Barry, Arizona on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for the best product within this price range. I looked at every product that I could find within my budget including reading several reviews.. The NAD Viso 1 fit the criteria and met my expectations. Pros: The performance for the price is very good. I was very pleased with the bass extension for a product this size. My other concern was how well it would fill a 19 ft x 15 ft room. The Viso did not disappoint.. Cons: I wished the product had Airplay capability. This is the only reason why I did not give it a 5 star rating.. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System Written By Jeff D., Fletcher, NC on Monday, February 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product! Wonderful sound and as easy to setup and use as "falling over.". And, as usual, Crutchfield's service and delivery was "Way above average". The only downside I've had was with the "remote" but since I'm using the Viso on my bedside table it's a "non-iissue" for me. The remote was "DOA" and could not be revived even with new batteries. RIP Pros: Looks great, sounds greaat Cons: Sad Remote Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent sound, miinor quibbles Written By JimS., Warminster, PA on Thursday, January 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is likely that at 65, I am one of the older buyers of this type of product. Frankly, I was surprised that a unit that is relatively small compared to the types of floor standing speakers purchased over the years, could put out such high quality sound. Not bass heavy like the Bose SoundDock 10 that I was able to preview locally, but seemingly true to the original recordings. Used in an open room measuring app. 15' x 20', the NAD provides all the volume we will ever need for a variety of music including rock, classical, and country. I used an IPod Classic as the direct source, and bluetooth for the current generation of IPad. Sound is considerably better from the direct source and adequate thru bluetooth from Pandora or YouTube. Portability was not an issue for us - the object was to get the best sound with the smallest footprint without going crazy with the price. I think we got our money's worth and then some. Pros: Clear, true sound with good reproduction from bass to treble. Since that actual sound is by far the most important thing, I gave the NAD five stars in spite of the issues below. Cons: Really cheesy remote. For the price, I would not think that an on/off button would be too much too ask. It may be just my limited experience with bluetooth, but for people that are really interested in the actual sound (as opposed to convenience, etc.), I think that it is disappointing. Tends to cut-out for about a half-second on a random basis. Hopefully, as the technology improves, that will no longer be an issue. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Crisp and Powerful Written By Lorna Sue, Lake County, CA on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Set up in seconds and sounds great. Came in a large box that barely fit in my car. But the unit is of a manageable size. Solid. Heavy, but well balanced and carries very well using the metal bar that mounts the ipod as a handle. Should carry easily from room to room, or into the car to carry to an event. I would remove the ipod before moving the unit. The sound is big enough to fill a large space. The clear, well balanced sound earns the Viso 1 an undeniable 5 star rating. I can't hear my phone ring when the unit is on. I guess I could turn the volume down, but that is unlikely. What a pleasure to have such great sound from a single table-top unit. Pros: Has a video output, which I have not used, but will allow me to view videos or photos from my ipod on a large monitor. The clip that holds the ipod in place is is solidly built and has a cushion on the top that will keep from scratching the ipod. It feels like it would take real abuse to damage this clip. There is a handy little button on the top to mute the system. Cons: While the clip that hold the ipod in place is well built, the ipod is only gently secured, and could possibly fall out if the unit is jarred. There is a tiny blue light at the bottom of the unit to indicate when the unit is turned on. It is not visible when I am standing in front of the unit. While it is nice that the light is unobtrusive, it is difficult to tell if the system is muted or off. A second light for mute mode would be handy. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound. Easy to use. Written By Tom, CA on Thursday, December 13, 2012 I bought this because I was looking for something to act both as a sound-bar for my cheapo TV, and an iPod dock. This product fit the bill perfectly. I'm not an audio buff, but I think the sound is great. It's not going to blow the roof off and wake the neighbors, or shake the walls with bass, but if you just want to fill a living room with music it'll do fine. The set up is easy. Stick your iPod in the front, plug the digital audio from your cable box in the back, and power it up. And if you want to play music from your cellphone or laptop, just pair up the bluetooth and away you go. (The audio quality from the bluetooth is also surprisingly good; indistinguishable from the other sources.) Crutchfield's service & tech support were also first rate. (I had some trouble with the menu on the cable box and after going through tech support phone menu help with Time Warner, it was a great relief to speak to an actual intelligent human being at Crutchfield.) The bluetooth connection worked perfectly first time, Pros: 1. High build quality & design. 2. Excellent audio quality. 3. Very easy to use. 4. Acts as a soundbar for that cheapo flat screen TV you bought. 5. Plays music (or radio, podcasts, etc.) from your smartphone or computer. Cons: None. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Flattened Bose Written By Chris H., New Jersey, USA on Monday, August 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been searching for quite some time for a compact iPod sound system that isn't compact in sound. My most recent effort was in Bose's Wave Music System III, which I obtained with the valuable 90-day return option if not satisfied. I returned it within 1 month as it was woefully incapable of handling its own low end, causing rattling and overloading sounds at volume levels significantly below the maximum volume number available. That was very important to me, and all it took to pack it back up. Then I got the NAD Viso 1, which was instantly distinguished from the Bose product simply with how it felt in my hands. For the same price market, that noticeable difference should not exist. And then I turned it on and played some select tracks from the iPod and have never looked elsewhere. The unit has absolutely incredible, room filling bass, with crisp highs and beautiful mid-ranges. And it can handle the higher volume levels as compared to the seemingly feeble Bose unit. Whether compared in price, performance, or appearance, there truly is no comparison here. The NAD sound system is an excellent performer. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No the best portable stereo and bluetooth Written By Kurt, Miami, FL on Monday, July 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As with all speakers, placement is critical. We put the bass port against a grantite backsplash and under the secretarial station in the kitchen. When we stream paid Pandora via bluetooth the fidelity is simply amazing. This is the best part of this speaker, using the IPhone as your remote and shifting from Itunes to Pandora. The mids are clear and concise, the bass thumps and our kitchen is transformed. Also very nice is that with the handle its so easy to drag to the patio or bedroom although I have yet to avail myself of the video input. Crutchfield packed it well and shipped it free--calling to confirm order. I would recommend them and this awesome stereo wholeheartedly. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No best sounding iPod speaker dock, full stop. Written By b4rd, Brooklyn on Monday, June 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've heard em all, and this is hands down the finest sounding iPod speaker dock on the market. Costly, but you get what you pay for. Bluetooth teathering is seamless. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Tremendo,me permite oir la radio directa de mi smartphone Tremendo equipo! Tremendous piece of equipment! Pros: Me permite oir la radio directa de mi smartphone It lets me listen to the radio directly from my smartphone Cons: No contras No cons Crutchfield response on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Translation provided by Crutchfield's Spanish Sales & Support team.

Yes No Great sound Written By Ken E, Wisconsin on Friday, January 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The pros: Nice , the sound is very detailed, clear and distortion free even at the maximum volume, you really have to hear it. The bluetooth is cool too, you can stream Pandora, I heart radio or Slacker radio from you iphone or blackberry. The cons: It lacks deep bass, but I don't think any system this size will create good bass. The looks, its ok, but I wish the iphone dock was in a different location this would give it a better appearance. In my opinion the great sound makes it worth the somewhat high price. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Greatest of them all :)! Written By M. D., New York City, NY on Sunday, December 25, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First and for most this is my first time ever writing a review on a product. Let me begin by saying Crutchfield is the Best company to buy your electronics from; they got the best sales representatives, tech support and customer service. I don't know any other store that can do things they can do for you; very friendly too. Now, this NAD Viso 1 will probably be the best iPod dock you'll ever use. I started with the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air, which is a great product but pound for pound this NAD is the winner. Not only the great Bass and clear sound that come out of it but this unit can be a home theatre, computer (laptop, desktop) speakers and more. Unfortunately with the Zeppelin Air, you can only play music from iTunes stored on your computer wirelessly; won't support any video sound when u for example want to play a youtube video. Bottom line, if you're looking for an iPod dock or a great music system, look no further, this is it. And this review is coming from a person who cares a lot about sound. Couldn't find any little problem with this one. Best by far! 26 out of 29 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box? Download owner's manual Wireless iPod speaker dock Two 6.5' AC power cords (NA/EU) Remote control CR2025 3V lithium battery Quick Start Guide Warranty Card Product Research Features Overview: The NAD VISO 1 is a digital music system for your Apple iPod or iPhone, & Bluetooth enabled device. The VISO 1 digital music system combines the engineering expertise of two iconic Hi-Fi companies - NAD Electronics & PSB Speakers. The NAD VISO 1 provides smooth, accurate, & clear sound with an airy, 3-dimensional soundstage. NAD Direct Digital Amplifier: At the heart of the VISO 1 is NAD's proprietary Direct Digital amplifier technology. NAD's Direct Digital amplifier technology eliminates all analog circuitry & offers very high efficiency & low power consumption. Bi-Amplification: Each loudspeaker in the NAD VISO 1 is directly coupled to its own amplifier channel (50W sub, 15W right speaker, 15W left speaker), eliminating power-robbing passive crossover components. Since the exact load condition for each amplifier channel is known, power output can be optimized to make the most efficient use of the overall power available. The system's total amplifier power output is 80 Watts (50 watts to sub & 15 watts to each speaker). PSB Speakers: NAD teamed up with its award-winning sister company, PSB Speakers, to make the NAD VISO 1 the ultimate compact music system for your iPod/iPhone or Bluetooth enabled device; with a pair of advanced full-range drivers & a single high power-handling woofer. Two Full-Range Drivers: The full-range drivers utilize a focused neodymium magnet system & a 1" voice coil with fiberglass former to give it both high sensitivity & high power handling. There is a unique black anodized aluminum dome/cone assembly attached to the motor, which is terminated with a soft rubber surround. The total diameter is 2.75" with a one-inch dome in the center. This provides enough cone area to extend response down to 180Hz, yet the dome allows excellent high frequency dispersion & extension to 28kHz. These drivers have their own separate enclosures that are optimized for a low frequency cut-off of 500Hz. This allows for ideal integration with the woofer response while lowering distortion at high playback levels. Single Woofer: The woofer uses a very powerful magnet & specially designed pole piece to improve sensitivity & lower distortion. A 1.25" voice coil moves the 5.75" cone on a high temperature fiberglass voice coil former. By carefully integrating the driver, enclosure, & amplifier, a highly effective sixth order alignment is utilized to extend bass response to below 50Hz (with the -6dB point at 33Hz). Note: The system's total frequency response is 50Hz to 20,000 Hz or 33Hz to 28,000 Hz (-6dB). Digital Soft Clipping Circuit: The NAD VISO 1 also employ a Digital Soft Clipping circuit to prevent harsh distortion & possible speaker damage when playing at loud volume levels. Near Field: The NAD VISO 1 includes a special feature that subtly reduces the amount of high frequency power to optimize performance for "near field" listening. You may prefer this setting if you listen at a very close distance or have a very small room. Bluetooth aptX: The NAD VISO 1 uses a new version of Bluetooth called aptX, which is a "Hi-Fi" version offering the same performance as a wired connection. The built-in Bluetooth aptX wireless high-fidelity reception allows many Bluetooth enabled device to seamlessly integrate with the NAD VISO 1. This allows wireless integration of your iPod touch, iPhone, & iPad; as well as Android & Windows-based smartphones or tablets. Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the VISO 1. iPod/iPhone Dock: The NAD VISO 1 features a 30-pin Apple connector which allows you to dock your iPod or iPhone for audio/video playback, remote control, & battery charging. The system's docking cradle can rotate 90°, allowing for 'portrait' or 'landscape' orientation of your iPod or iPhone. The NAD VISO 1 plays the music stored on your iPod or iPhone in its native digital form, completely bypassing the limiting audio circuits of the iPod/iPhone. As a result, your iPod/iPhone's audio is optimized by the NAD VISO 1's Direct Digital technology for pure sonic performance. Component Video Output: The system's rear-panel Component Video Output sends iPod/iPhone video to your connected HDTV while playing the sound track. The Component Video Output supports 480p & 576p resolution. Apple Device Compatibility Chart: The VISO 1 is compatible with the following iPods, iPhones, & iPads (as of 6/5/2013).

Optical Digital Input: The NAD VISO 1's rear-panel optical digital input accepts up to 24/96k music from external devices; such as televisions, disc players, & media streamers. USB Port (software upgrades only): The NAD VISO 1 is fitted with a rear-panel mini-USB (type-B) port for software upgrades only. Power Requirements: The NAD VISO 1 operates off of standard household current using the supplied 6.5' AC power cord.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Impressive look and sound Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 12/16/2011 10:19:00 AM If you want a system that makes a statement, this might be the one. When I fired this up down in the Labs, quite a few people came by to check it out. The general consensus was that the NAD VISO 1 looked very cool, and sounded impressive. One caveat, though. This system will reproduce your music with extreme accuracy. So if you have high-resolution audio files, they'll sound great. If you have lo-rez 128kbps files, though... What are the Labs?

Softball Drops Two in Doubleheader Against South Carolina
Wednesday, March 27, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Mar. 27, 2002) -- The East Tennessee State softball team fell in both ends of a doubleheader against South Carolina, 9-0 and 14-0, in softball action Wednesday night from Beckhan Field in Columbia, S.C. The Bucs (13-15) were no-hit in game one, as Gamecock pitcher Megan Matthews recorded 12 strikouts and threw just eight balls in the five-inning win. ETSU's only baserunner came as sophomore catcher Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) was hit by a pitch in the top of the second. ETSU freshman pitcher Courtney Jenkins

The House of Rep. is pressing the Obama administration for more information about a solar-panel company that received a $400 million loan guarantee, then went bankrupt and is now the focus of a criminal investigation.
The committee pursuing documents on Colorado-based Abound Solar is the same that investigated the half-billion taxpayer loan to Solyndra, whose bankruptcy rocked the Obama administration. Two more Department of Energy-backed companies have since filed for bankruptcy, with Abound Solar being the latest.
Lawmakers are now questioning whether the administration might have known about serious problems with the company's solar panels before it was guaranteed the loan in December 2010 under the stimulus program.
"Abound is the third company that has received a DOE loan to go bankrupt," the House Committee on Energy and Commerce told Energy Secretary Steven Chu in a letter Wednesday. "The committee seeks to better understand what DOE knew about problems with Abound's solar panels prior to finalizing its $400 million loan guarantee."
probably hire alot of security for 400 million bucks

We can develop the world through images.
In his talk, Jonathan Klein spoke about images leading to people to act and react. I think that in rural third world countries images could lead to knowledge and development.
I am a first year economics student in Berlin, and in our marketing class we learned that images are always received and processed faster then text. I lived in Kenya for 11 years and I realized that images could literally make people change; in western countries they show images of starving poverty stricken African children and this leads to people donating... but what about showing images to people in Africa about knowledge, or about how to conserve and be environmentally friendly? Or how to build things, how to survive?
I myself am not a photographer but this idea has struck me and I just can't stop thinking about it. With diseases such as AIDS in rural areas, people still aren't well informed. I think that images could solve that faster than long talks with big words that some people don't even understand. I am not just talking about Africa; I think in general images could change the way people live.
Dec 7 2012: Sight (images), sounds, and smell are some of the most powerful tools known to man. We live through association in many aspects. Show a picture of the moon landing and we old people can tell you where we were then. A photo of Kennedy being shot will draw the same recall. The smell of baking bread may take you to grandma's kitchen. A certain after shave may remind you of good ole dad.
If the images, smells, sounds have a relevance to the locals or who ever the target audience then it will be effective. A photo of a hamburger will not mean much to a village in central Africia but a photo of a stew pot of yams would bring a smile to their face.
Images must reinforce a life event, a cultural standard, or generate a emotion. If AIDS has not arrived at that village then photo of others may not have the desired results.
The idea is not new but all ideas can be improved on and modified to the benefit of the user.
All the best. Bob.

It is very common that mastering mother tongue at an early age in the country where I live. For example, I do not mean to show off, but I learned to speak and use my mother tongue when I was four years old. People living in this country easily approach to text and study, so most people are literate. However, learning through images are probably much more efficient and productive in the country with, more or less, a lot of illiterate people. (I hope you do not misunderstand my words, because I've never had biased perspective about people who are illiterate.)
I also agree with the idea, "Images are always received and processed faster than text." Visual impressions through images have a great influence on us, rather than sense of taste, hearing, or touch.
I am so impressed, in that you have a lot of concern for the society, world, people, and situations around us. Images have been used for centuries, but I agree with your idea that they should be used in places where they could be effective, as you said. I love your adorable and progressive opinions.
By the way, if you do not mind my asking, is there any specific way in your mind?
Dec 6 2012: Thank you.. and i do not misinterpret that at all thats why we have MEDCs and LEDCs there are clear reasons i dislike it when people try to talk so nice about their country when sometimes we just have to face realities and be honest and say the truth i am a biracial my Father is German(MEDC) and my Mum is Kenyan(LEDC) so i can face realities despite me bieng born in berlin i lived in kenya for most of my childhood and teenagehood and i can truly see the realities and differences in literacy rates its not offensive or anything in Kenya they are clearly lower and there are reasons for that and that is what should motivate people to change that and what my initiative is or my opinion is that people can only change and do things on their own....but i believe that we can inspire them to start bringing up their initiative on how they want to live its more about getting the people inspired and hearing their thoughts and exactly what they think once we get that we can look for solutions to make their ideas sustainable realistic, better and finally a reality, because a happy nation is one that will develop a nation built by its own people.
Well, firstly i am thinking of going to a rural village and most of these villages have a central place were everybody meets up i am not even thinking about going with the craziest of gagdets. i think a projector is enough.. and then just show images like knowledge how there is someone (most probably a stick figure as i do not want to show a racial division i just want to show the basic fundemental importance of knowledge) who has great knowledge could work by showing books and thought bubbles... and then that stick figure helps in his village with sustainable methods of farming and keeps his village hungry free on an unfortunate day someone could have stolen from this character but what i want to show is that the figure continued living and still lived well as knowledge guided him because thats the one thing nobody can steal from you.Dec 6 2012: Nobody can steal your knowledge..i know its a bit rough and needs working on but thats just one thing and thats more for children (it should be more like a comic strip with no text) but i want to show that through knowledge you could help your village also health wise, financially and help the village and country grow making a difference then i would turn off the projector and thats when words can now play a role, and ask them how they interpreted that what their thoughts were...is the education that they are getting enough what would they want to learn etc... i mean llttle children look at lego instructions which have no words and build castles here for adults i would maybe show images of how cutting trees and not regrowing them leads to less rainfall hence no harvest....howto maybe try harvest other things too maybe come up with the idea of how to make boreholes and the Reality of AIDS and unprotected sex... how them producing more children when they themselves have nothing to eat only cripples the world further and further how to spend money how to plan images could litearlly depict all this it will be pretty simple but once that willingness to learn about is created is when we can now move to sharing the knowledge with them to sharing the knowledge that they seek...i am sorry that this explanation is a bit messy but its still all thoughts and i need to sit down and properly think this through and collect my thoughts but thank you for the feedback.

Dec 4 2012: Pictures are worth a thousand words, i think its a great idea

Nov 29 2012: Logos, icons, pictograms and comics have been around for a long time in history. We used them for identification (coat of arms) and story telling (frescos, murals) throughout centuries. Even computer made their final break through to become 'personal' due to the use of images (icons) instead of using ' 100011 00011 01000 00000 00001 000100'. They even used the term 'icons', which was used for picturized religious memorabilia before.
- +1
So this concept is neither new nor surprising as all humans are native 'visual' beings.
I understood the story line of a comic before I could read and if I was illiterate I would be able to find the restroom at many places.
Yet as with all other forms of communication images can manipulate and misdirect the recipient, which was and still is used in commercials, propaganda and all media. On a bad headline in a newspaper, let's say about a politician, the given photo of this person is carefully chosen to transport a 'non spoken' message. In our mainstream media it is less likely to find a photograph of Mahmud Ahmadinedschad with an open and all winning smile, because 'we' don't wan't to 'see' him this way and not because there are no such images available of him.
Nazi Germany used to picture Jewish citizens in the newspaper with 'hooked noses' and 'greedy looks', to devalue their status as human beings and to generalize 'them'.
To 'develop the world' by images the same carefulness is mandatory as with all other media as well.
Nov 30 2012: Yes i am not talking about bringing across propaganda, or showing biased images of other cultures its nothing to do with other people or starting a war its about images inspiring people to finally become independent and to finally React and do something and to bring that spirit to develop i just want to awaken people's senses and i do know that this idea of images has been around for ages its not like i am saying that i invented it.. i am just saying its new because this idea hasn't been used in places were could be effective.. like in rural villages in Kenya. i am just talking about inspiring people and bringing about growth because countries like Africa finally need to change it seems that it is just not moving forward its upon the people to change it i mean how long will Africa be how it is? i know that Africa does not want to be in the state it is in there is too much pain and poverty and people are unhappy i just wish that this idea of image could show people that there is a way out. i am not even talking about showing the wrong images its just about basic images of inspiration and images that ls how people how they can live a better life and how their ideas could contribute to them finally being independent of Aid and all that...its possible but the people need to wake up and do something too much speech has been used so this approach of images could finally lead to people bringing across their thoughts and ideas it lets the nation build a nation that they are happy to be in and it leads to growth... They show starving children to more developed countries and here the idea of images has lead to people spending huge amounts of money on donations but what about finally showing pictures to the other end of how to grow on their own....
Lejan .
Nov 30 2012: I did not mean to reduce your idea, Esther and if I did I apologize.

But the scope of your idea is pretty vulnerable for propaganda, don't you think? Because to me 'Inspiring people and bringing about growth' is actually to build the foundation of a working economy in this region to 'finally become independent'. This is a great idea, no doubt about that, but how do you inspire as unbiased and neutral as possible, so that the people can find their own way in doing so? Especially given the limitation in only 'visual' communication.
With your experience, what do you imagine those inspiring pictures could look like?
Would a picture of a 'western middle class family' showing their average wealth be inspirational or rather disastrous? Personally I think it would be disastrous.
What if this lack of independence is related to other cultures and nations?
I would like to understand the type of 'signs' you are thinking of, which could make the change you wish for. How would they look like? What messages would they carry?
Nov 30 2012: I know that everything can be turned into a hidden agenda and that everything can be bad if it is not monitored properly i mean when people donate it comes from a good place but when it goes to greedy pockets of corrupt politicians that's when donations turn bad.
i am not talking about showing a picture of a middle class western world what about simple cartoons for children in comic strips that show the fundamental importance of going to school these comics don't even need color they can be stick people, and images of how cutting down trees leads to there being less trees and maybe showing the importance of trees.. showing methods of how to farm better... how to save money how women are important how too many children is not the right idea if you cant feed yourself.....images of starving children because their parents kept on producing in hope that they will benefit from their children but instead their children are dying infants because they were malnutrition... Images of how their vote matters in changing the nation and that a vote should not be based upon someone who just bought them a loaf of bread for a day before the elections and lets them all starve once elected... all this can be interpreted in countries..yes i know that culture plays a role but the thing is if this was culture is it culture to let children starve? is it culture to be unhappy? lack of independence is because people are not doing anything and allowing themselves to be ignored to be treated like they don't matter to be treated like dummies because the government steals right in front of their faces and the government knows that there is no potential because they have the money i am talking about images that finally lets people know that its time to do something to reach happiness... but i appreciate your opinions a lot thank you i am new to all this...i hope that i am containing myself well...

Nov 30 2012: '... allowing themselves to be ignored to be treated like they don't matter to be treated like dummies because the government steals right in front of their faces ...'

In short, Esther, you are calling for REVOLUTION here!
So that the people finally quit to be treated like beasts and to break free from an all corrupt, rotten and financially powerful government!
Don't get me wrong, if this government is as you say, you have my vote!
Nevertheless, calling for REVOLUTION is pretty manipulative don't you think and if I had to picture this message it would certainly look somewhat like this:
Besides this rebellious notion I understand now what you have in mind and it could be seen as a forerunner to a more wide spread and fundamental educational system.
Wouldn't your visual concept work with the 'One Laptop per Child' initiative?
As the computer is mostly a 'visual' medium it could also animate those 'stick people' for a better transfer of the actual message. Kenya seems to be already part in this:
Nov 30 2012: That's amazing but this sort of a thing needs to be set up in more rural areas because that's where most votes come from.. i mean yes the government is amazingly corrupt in Africa its no lie thats one of the main roots why Africa is still were it is today its like they always blame colonization and slavery but in my opinion what the government is doing now is still a form of colonization and slavery.. it is a form of Revolution i guess but the people should educate themselves before they go out and start tackling the real issues of the country...No violence just educated and real change....thank you for the links and thank you for the extra awareness and knowledge....

Nov 28 2012: "Development through images"
- +1
Is the long way of saying "Visualization" and there is an enormous list of Discoveries/Inventions which came into being through Visualization.
But lest consider the Sufi expression "Visualization is Indeed Heaven"Nov 28 2012: Hi Esther,
I agree with you about images solving issues faster than long talks. Where my point differs with you is that the passion with which you wield words are as skillful as an artist will and can touch many people to act. For as I read your words I felt compelled to act (or in marketing is referred to as a CTA- call to action). Sometimes with photos there are certain angles, techniques and shadings that influence individual interpretation.
Whereas, in my humble opinion, nothing can compare to text like yours. It's coming from a pure place, benevolence, grace and empathy. Imagine Esther if you were able to share your words passionately and invite a photographer, painter, sculptor to interpret alongside you. Thus providing a denser meaning to your words. What could that look like? What would that feel like? I guess what I am suggesting is that it not be an either/or instead a coupling of ideas that would touch different aspects of ourselves.
You touched me Esther with your ability to share so openly. I thank you!Nov 28 2012: Art and images have a universal strength, but I think that each culture have pictures and ideals that hit a different cords. This project would need to be streamlined to different cultures for the same idea, which could be very difficult due to different education levels and cultural values in so many parts of the world as I can tell you are aware. I think this idea has great potential, but the man hours needed for redrafting and logistical issues would be consuming. I hope this idea gathers strength because it could really help save so many people. This properly administrated could efficiently produce millions in donations that would be applied properly, but it could also help give a rudimentary to advanced understanding to a population quicker than past efforts.
Fritzie -
Nov 28 2012: Hi, Esther. You are right that images are a highly effective means of communication, which is why they are used so much! They have the advantage also of not requiring a person to be able to read the language of the place. It is not accidental that we use traffic lights of different colors rather than changing signs and that many facilities are marked with symbols any of us can recognize, regardless where we see them in the world.Dec 8 2012: Images have a lot greater emotional power than words. It may take pages to describe emotional state and minutes to read it, but it takes a split second to perceive it from an image of a face. During the history, people killed each other by hundreds of thousands. There are written descriptions of unspeakable atrocities dating back millenia. Yet, it's in the XX century when mass murders have largely stopped in civilized world. It may be because of the image technology which showed to the world what holocaust looks like.

The first step, I think we can exchange images between two countries. You will know about my country, I too.Nov 28 2012: Thank you for all the great feedback, and the video by Ernesto Sirolli just inspired me more i mean i think that these images is not saying anything its not patronizing its sparking ideas into people's minds, because everybody see's different things in an image everybody interprets things differently, i just want these ideas to come out. i totally feel the same about Aid it just has to end i mean these terrible images that are sent to the western world have to stop. people in third world countries have to finally be inspired to move and change things because too many people are unhappy but they are so brainwashed into thinking that they cant do or achieve anything that's why we have corrupt leaders filling their pockets because they are leading a country that's filled with low esteemed people filled with people who have no hope, of change who only see aid and know that their leaders are stealing from them but are not doing anything about it..all the things that are happening in these countries are happening because the people are allowing it and i get it they have been inflicted with fear and i said most of them are all just so demoralized that they see no point little do they know that there is hope if they all got together and finally started working towards achieving their ideas Africa has potential its just not using it because it is filled with great ideas that are to demoralized to shine out, that's why i think that images or visualization could encourage the youth in particular to overcome this fear to inspire and to interpret and to React in the manner they want and then to inquire for the help they need and to say exactly what they want and how they plan to achieve this. Thats how development will come out, sparking people's senses its no words no commands just look, interpret and let your mind work.Nov 28 2012: Education through images is really effective because brain can recognize information from them in the fastest way.Nov 28 2012: A picture is worth a thousand words Semiotics Visual Andchoring Pictures used as you suggested Pictures used to influence thoughts. Jesus on the Cross in certain countries- Not just Christians Consider Rumi, a Sufi Master Pictures can be painted with words/poetry I believe this is a fertile place to start and grow from and towards.Nov 28 2012: Thank you for the comments, i know that this idea will require a lot of redrafting and working on but i just think that it could work.I mean as Fritzie said there are certain signs that we directly recognize, like traffic light colors.
I know that there are different cultural beliefs and literacy levels but that's the good part about images they aren't that hard to understand i mean i am thinking for example if i were to show a rural place the actual impact of AIDS wouldn't they just interpret how serious the illness really is?
then there is children i think that images could give children inspiration as they start to interpret things and it will lead to them asking questions, REACTING.
Jacqui thank you for that comment, yes i know that words are also a form of art but i am just thinking that there needs to be another approach to transferring knowledge to certain places. i mean i want to get the people to be curious to get the people to start asking questions to start doing to start having ideas and i think that images could really do that. And it would be a new approach. once this inspiration to know, or to interpret has been sparked in people's minds is when we can turn to speech and hear the opinions and broaden people's interpretation. i just want people in third world countries especially in rural areas to finally have some sort of awareness.
For example there has always been droughts in certain areas in Kenya and the population in those areas was relative small due to this, but then there was food donations and suddenly the population in those areas grew massively but the droughts did not stop and now what do we have? starving infants and children.. that's not right..i mean even lions don't produce if they don't have access to water..these people need to be shown that this is not right they need to be shown that they cant just live off donations they need to develop and adjust and learn to live in their environment.i think images could initiate development
Nov 28 2012: The idea of depicting information visually is a popular thing rather than a new thing.
Here are two things to look up. On TED as part of the TEDxChange event this year, a designer from IDEO spoke about how they assist populations in the area of health. One idea he shows is that we assume more commonality in the interpretation of graphic images than there is.
They use images, of course, and manipulatives but also listen more than talk and show.
Another is the word "infographics," which has been a big area of focus over the last few years, because of the effectiveness of conveying information via images.
In the particular case you mention of the seriousness of AIDS, I doubt that a visual image you show people would have more impact in conveying the seriousness of the disease than they experience in the form of the pain of all the deaths around them where AIDS is common, orphans being brought by grandmothers and older children and so forth. We see these photographs and accounts and from those visualize the problem. It is still different from living in the village where the photos were taken.
Nov 28 2012: yes i agree that there are a lot of orphaned children who do not have any parents and end up on the streets many of them don't even know why their parents or of what they died from.. so they themselves infected go on to spread the disease to others and that's how we get generations of families with Aids. i have witnessed this sort of a thing first hand, there isn't even enough information Aids surprisingly is still a very hushed up thing in particular in Africa were and i am appalled to repeat this but Men have sayings such as "how can you enjoy a banana with the peel on"... and women fall for this..i know its horrible but its true... so yes there are people who live with the tragedy of Aids but we see their tragedy on TV and their suffering but the majority live with Aids around and have no idea its there and go on spreading it more when some people are dying of Aids sometimes the children are told that they had cancer or something.. they Don't mention Aids, too much is hushed under the rug for the majority.

Nov 29 2012: You'll be interested in this, I think, a competition that closed last week to produce infographic materials educating people about AIDS: http://graphiccompetitions.com/multiple-disciplines/world-aids-day-infographic-competition/
