One is all it takes
Libratone launches all new
AirPlay sound system for your living room.
Denmark, 21st July 2011:
Building on its success within the field of wireless audio,
Libratone introduces a high-end AirPlay sound system for the living
room. Libratone Lounge combines advanced technology and
Scandinavian design to enhance movie and music experiences. The
Libratone Lounge is all that's needed to replace an old hi-fi
system. Driven by Apple's AirPlay technology, the system allows
users to stream music wirelessly from an iDevice or Mac/PC without
having to settle for mediocre sound.
"Libratone makes sound systems for modern lifestyles. The
AirPlay technology taps right into that principle with the freedom
to have full control, without speaker cables, and we believe this
is the future of sound. That's why we are one of the first to have
embraced this technological leap," says Fritz Andersen, CEO of
Libratone.
Additionally Libratone Lounge is designed to bring out the best
in TV viewing without turning the living room into a jungle of
wires. Volume can also be controlled through the TV remote.
One speaker, a full room of sound
Inside the Libratone Lounge, high-end audio components make sure
that movies and music sound amazingly crisp. Five dedicated
amplifiers based on technology normally only seen in far more
expensive systems (up to 150W output) and a Digital Signal
Processing unit provides crystal clear sound and a precise bass.
However, the real gem is the patented FullRoom technology that lets
the tweeters and midrange drivers disperse sound both forwards and
sidewards enabling the Libratone Lounge to recreate sound like an
acoustic instrument. The FullRoomtechnology reflects 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'. Additionally and contrary to regular compact systems,
the soundscape expands at a distance.
One app to rule them all
Libratone Lounge is a 'made-for-Apple' product. This means it
connects seamlessly with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. By
downloading the Lounge-app users, can strengthen that relationship.
The app enhances the sound experience even further by allowing the
sound form placement to be adjusted via the AirPlay connection. In
other words, Libratone Lounge creates a soundscape that fits
specifically to every living room.
Scandinavia in your living room
Just as its predecessor, the Libratone Lounge is a product of
the Scandinavian design heritage. With its minimalistic lines and
high quality raw materials, it can best be described as a piece of
sound furniture. Available in a range of colours, the Libratone
Lounge is finished in luxury cashmere wool.
"It's a myth that great sound comes from big, black boxes. It's
a remnant of the '90s. The Libratone Lounge has the power to be the
primary sound source in your home without taking over your living
room with wires or a clumsy design," says Fritz Andersen.
Libratone Lounge is available
in Apple Online
Stores from September 2011 in Europe and
US, and costs from £1099, €1199 and $1299. Also available in
the Libratone AirPlay family is Libratone Live - a flexible sound
system that adjusts to your lifestyle.
