CES 2008 Show Report - Adrian Wittenberg - Part II
Many manufacturers showed off Ipod/MP3 player docking active speaker systems this year. Many of them are designed to give mp3 players a very rich and luxurious sound. Here’s a glimpse at some of Boston Acoustics models.
Boston Acoustics shows off their multimedia speakers here available in designer colors.
B&W was proud of their newest Ipod speaker named the “Zeppelin”. This is designed to be compact enough to carry under one’s arm.
These multimedia speakers were from Edifier.
Polk had an Ipod system to show off as well called the Isonic ES2. This one also features HD Radio and makes for a nice combination. MSRP $499.
Dynaudio also had an active speaker product available named the MC15. This demonstration sounded really good.
Here we see some of JBL’s lineup for multimedia speakers.
Earthquake and Guitammer were at the show this year and displaying some of their popular products. I’ve always been a fan of shaker devices. I got a firsthand demonstration of the power of Earthquake’s shaker named the “10.0 MK2″. I stood on the platform it was attached to for about thirty seconds. The amount of shake was truly impressive.
Guitammer showed off their new leather couch line called “Private Collection” which had the popular “Buttkicker” shaker built in. These include a remote control thats used to adjust the amount of vibration delivered. They were comfortable and added excitement to the “Transformers” movie demo being played.
It was time for everybody to get a much needed Oxygen break so they could get back to all the products on the show floor.
