Panasonic Corporation held a new music live event, "SILENT BLOCK PARTY by Technics," at Shibuya THE ROOM on March 2, 2026. This live event utilized "Auracast," a function that allows audio to be distributed from a single sound source to multiple earphones with low latency and high sound quality. This event, to which users of the "EAH-AZ100" completely wireless earphones were invited, was held with the aim of allowing fans to delve deeper into the world of the Technics brand, which has a history of over 60 years, and to experience new ways of enjoying music. It also served as a platform to propose the possibilities of a new live experience realized through the use of Auracast. On the day of the event, attendees wore the "EAH-AZ100" completely wireless earphones, and audio was distributed to individual earphones via Auracast from transmitters installed in the venue. This created a new live space where each attendee could experience high-quality and immersive sound, even in a "silent" environment where no sound was emitted from the venue's speakers.
