Denmark, 31 August 2011 -Libratone, a Copenhagen-based audio company developing innovative wireless sound solutions, will be showcasing two new high-end speakers for the home - the Libratone Live and the Libratone Lounge - at IFA 2011. Both the Libratone Live and Lounge are driven by Apple's Airplay technology, allowing audio to flow freely, without wires or a loss of sound quality.

"Libratone makes sound systems for modern lifestyles and we are one of the first to embrace this technology, which taps in to our philosophy of setting sound free." says Fritz Anderson, CEO of Libratone.

Libratone Live is a versatile and powerful AirPlaysound system for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and computers with iTunes. With an output of up to 150W, five dedicated amplifiers and advanced digital signal processing capabilities, Libratone Live can soundtrack your life all without dragging audio cables through the living room. It's freedom in one box.

Libratone Lounge has been designed for the living room and to be a perfect match for the television. It combines advanced technology and Scandinavian design to enhance movie and music experiences and to blend in and stand out at the same time. The inclusion of Apple's AirPlay technology allows users to stream music wirelessly from iOS devices or Mac/PC while five dedicated amplifiers based on technology normally only seen in far more expensive systems and a Digital Signal Processing unit fills every corner of the room with a jaw dropping 360° sound experience from only one speaker.

Both Libratone Live and Lounge include the patented FullRoom® technology which provides the listener with a room-filling soundscape. The tweeters and midrange drivers disperse sound in all directions with the FullRoom technology reflecting it off the room's walls, providing high quality 360 degree sound. With FullRoom technology, 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.

Product enhancement at the fingertips

As a new feature, users can improve the Libratone Live and Lounge experience through a specially designed "Libratone" app. This app allows you to enhance and customize the FullRoom experience. By feeding the app with information on the placement of the sound system, it automatically adjusts the sound to fit the room perfectly. As new features and enhanced functionality becomes available the Libratone sound system can be updated through the app - wirelessly. The app also works as a remote volume control when using the AUX connection.

Both products offer a contemporary design with a Scandinavian heritage, are available in a range of colours and finished in luxury cashmere wool. Additionally the Libratone Live features a satin chrome handle for easy portability.

Libratone Live costs from €699, £599 and $699 and Libratone Lounge from €1099, £1199 and $1299.
