Big Blue Audio(TM) Launches Two Powerhouse Wireless Speakers
Bluetooth Audio on Trend and Hot this Holiday
MERRIMACK, N.H., Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Blue Audio(TM), the louder division of Brookstone, introduced the Big Blue and Big Blue Live Wireless Speakers with their signature Power. Pair. Play.(TM) interface today. These stylish, yet powerful speakers use Bluetooth® technology to fill any room with crystal-clear sound wirelessly from any Bluetooth®-enabled device -- smartphone, MP3, laptop or tablet device, including iPhone and Android devices.
"Listening to music and movies via Bluetooth is an emerging trend. Big Blue Audio was created specifically to bring innovation and quality to this new category," says Ron Boire, Brookstone CEO. "Most people think of Bluetooth technology for talking safely while driving, but the future is streaming music to a wireless bluetooth speaker - be it from Internet radio or your own library," adds Boire.
IMS Research predicts that by 2015, 44 percent of consumer electronics devices will include some form of Bluetooth technology.* With nearly two billion devices shipped annually**, Big Blue Audio develops and designs products to leverage this hands-free technology. Big Blue and Big Blue Live (portable version) deliver full-range wireless sound via advanced technology that includes dual stereo speakers, open-air down-firing sub-woofer and rear-firing passive radiator for bass. Progressive high frequency extension adds clarity and intelligibly to music and has superior off-axis performance. Its bass and treble controls allow music to be custom tuned, an important feature to suit certain genres or enhance a gaming experience.
