| soundmatters Intros foxL soundmatters has unveiled a technologically advanced audiophile-grade portable stereo loudspeaker system that it describes as: "The first pocket-sized music system good enough for audio purists." Dubbed foxL, it measures only 5.6" wide x 2.2" deep x 1.4" high, yet it provides full range output (80Hz – 20kHz), with real bass and a wide array of connection options. foxL's sonic performance is the end-result of several newly designed and updated components, particularly two 1" Linear Magnetic Drive Twoofers tuned to 100Hz. soundmatters' Twoofer features field-focused, back to back, dual Extreme-Energy neodymium magnets and bifilar, 1" dual voice coils. This exclusive soundmatters technology enhances mid-range vocal performance and extended bass well beyond other similarly sized speakers. soundmatters adapted its patented FlatMagic bass radiator design for the foxL diminutive cabinet. Available with and without Bluetooth connectivity, the latter option makes it easy to enjoy music streamed wirelessly from compatible devices, or conduct hands-free telephone conversations or conference calls. The internal noise/echo canceling microphone enhances communications with minimal interference from ancillary noise. foxL's lithium-ion BassBattery lasts up to five hours on a single charge. But, what makes the BassBattery unique is the way in which it also serves as mass for the FlatMagic bass radiator. A protective grille doubles as a foldout speaker stand. foxL will be available early September. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
