TECH NEWS:GEAR4 launches advanced audio portable speaker

High Wycombe, UK, 1st October 2009 – GEAR4 today announced the launch of its newest speaker for iPod and iPhone, Explorer-SP. Dubbed a ‘Home Portable’ speaker, the Explorer-SP boasts a wealth of advanced audio features, all wrapped up in a compact and superbly portable design.

CEO of GEAR4 Tom Dudderidge commented, “This ‘Home Portable’ speaker is all about versatility. It’s been carefully designed to have the right combination of acoustic performance, physical size and battery life. The result is a speaker whose audio performance rivals home docking speakers in the home environment, yet is compact and robust enough to be easily thrown in a bag for a holiday, with great battery life once you get there.”

Advanced audio:
Explorer-SP’s enveloping bass-rich sound is achieved using two full range drivers, 3D DSP sound enhancement and discreet, ported bass tuning. The 3D DSP feature works with the dual drivers to provide enhanced range and depth to music and the acoustic bass port delivers rich, deep notes to compliment the width and range.

This impressive audio quality combines with advanced battery functionality to ensure that great sound and effortless portability come together in one compact design.

Advanced power management and portability:
With options to power by mains or the built-in Lithium-ion battery, Explorer-SP can be enjoyed around the home or away on travels. Its FastCharge functionality charges up the advanced Lithium-ion battery in just 2 hours via the included power supply unit for up to 8 hours of portable use. What’s more, when powering from the battery, a battery level indicator will warn users when they are nearing the end of the playback time and need to recharge, so they never need worry about running out of power. A strong metal fold out stand and padded carry case complete the Home Portable package.

The Explorer-SP will be available in leading retailers across Europe or from www.gear4store.com from November for £99.99. For more details, please visit www.gear4.com or get in touch on the contact details above.
