Libratone, a Danish audio company developing innovative wireless sound solutions, has announced the launch of the Libratone Beat, high-end wireless speaker:
By connecting a wireless transmitter to an iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC, audio is streamed wirelessly to a Beat speaker up to 30 feet away.
Libratone’s patent pending FullRoomâ„¢ technology, then reflects the sound off the room’s walls to provide high quality 360-degree sound, meaning that wherever the listener is in the room they are always in the ‘sweet spot’.
Offering a contemporary design – the Libratone Beat is finished in cashmere – it will be available in the Apple Online Store (EMEA) in December 2010 and in Apple Retail Stores (EMEA) in the beginning of 2011.
Libratone Beat has suggested retail price for the standard slate grey at £549 and in cashmere colours at £599.
The Libratone Beat is not a regular speaker:
- The FullRoom technology ensures that the listener enjoys the same full stereo sound no matter where they are in the room.
- In addition to this technology, the speaker also features ultra-high-end components and advanced signal processing, which up until now has only been available in studio quality speakers. Output from the speaker is 50W and 2 x 25W from the midrange drivers and ribbon tweeters.
- The Libratone Beat comes with a transmitter for Apple portable devices and a USB-transmitter for a computer that extends the wireless range up to 100 feet.
- The Libratone Beat is creating a new category of wireless speaker, to fit with today’s modern lifestyle and will help to boost the popularity and adoption of music streaming.
- Whether watching HD movies on an iPad, gaming on an iPhone, or enjoying a catalogue of music files, it provides users with a new sound dimension in a stylish package that eliminates untidy cables found with other stereo systems.
- The system has a satin chrome handle for easy portability, comes in several colours including slate grey (standard), blood orange, vanilla beige and blueberry black, and is finished in cashmere wool.
- The Libratone Beat is also tailor-made to cope with the needs of modern business communications such as phone and video conferences.
