Soundtrack your life
Libratone introduces a versatile
and powerful AirPlay sound system
Denmark, 21st July 2011:
Libratone, a Copenhagen-based audio company developing innovative
wireless sound solutions, today announces the launch of the
Libratone Live, a versatile and powerful Airplaysound system for
iDevices and computers. With the liberation of sound having always
been Libratone's mantra, the newest member of their product family
offers full AirPlaysupport, allowing audio to flow freely, without
wires or a loss of sound quality. The Libratone Live is available
in Apple Stores in Europe and US from September 2011 and retails
from £599, €699 and $699.
"Our philosophy is to set sound free. The AirPlay technology in
the Libratone Live means you can now stream your entire music
library wirelessly, directly from your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or
computer. It's freedom at your fingertips!" says Fritz Andersen,
CEO of Libratone.
One sound source, a whole lot of sound
The inclusion of AirPlay technology in the Libratone Live is
supplemented by high-end audio components usually seen in much more
expensive units. An output of up to 150W makes the Libratone Live a
powerful sound source. The five dedicated amplifiers and advanced
digital signal processing capabilities gives users precise bass and
crystal clear treble. Additionally, the patented
FullRoom-technology provides the listener with a room-filling
soundscape with the tweeters and midrange drivers dispersing 360
degree sound which makes the Libratone Live play like an acoustic
instrument.
Due to the FullRoom technology, the Libratone Live can fill even
complex rooms with high quality sound. The technology also works
with the room instead of against it meaning it delivers where most
other systems do not. So, whether users want instant access to a
complete music library in the kitchen, office or living room, the
Libratone Live is up to the task.
"Regular speakers in a stereo setup push sound forward in one
direction, creating a small sweet spot in the centre of the room
and leaving other areas of the room with inferior sound. Our
patented FullRoom technology eliminates the sweet spot by letting
the sound reflect off the walls, creating a much larger area with
increased spaciousness. Contrary to regular compact systems, the
soundscape actually expands at a distance. We like to think of it
as having your favourite band right in your living room," says Jes
Mosgaard, CTO at Libratone.
The soundtrack of your life
To further enhance the sound experience and freedom of
placement, users can download an iPhone application that allows the
Libratone Live to be adjusted remotely via the AirPlay connection.
Based on the information users provide, it automatically calibrates
the sound from the Libratone Live to fit the surroundings
perfectly.
Much more than a clumsy black box which is commonplace in the
market, the Libratone Live offers a contemporary design with a
Scandinavian heritage. It features a satin chrome handle for
easy portability, comes in several colours, including slate grey
(standard), blood orange, vanilla beige, blueberry black and lime
green, and is finished in luxury cashmere wool. Libratone has
developed a desirable speaker that stands out and yet blends in at
the same time.
Libratone Live is available
in Apple
Stores in Europe and
US from September 2011, and costs
from £599, €699 and $699. Also available in
the Libratone AirPlay family is Libratone Lounge - a true hi-fi
replacement for your living room.
