Saitek's Eye-Popping Line of Digital Speakers Brings Music to Your Ears - At Home and On-the-Go; Saitek's Digital Media Entertainment (DME) Line Debuts to Praise for Uniqueness and Superb Design

Posted on: Wednesday, 30 November 2005, 12:00 CST

Saitek Industries Ltd. (www.saitekusa.com) today announced that the company is now shipping its much-awaited line of Digital Media Entertainment (DME) products. Designed to "liberate" the digital music "trapped" on consumers' computer systems while providing high-fidelity, anywhere ease-of-play, the Saitek DME products are the only digital speakers of this type designed to fit the "home entertainment" style without copying the plain white look currently found on many digital music-based products. With an ultra-sleek black onyx design, the Saitek DME products feature neodymium speakers for superb efficiency and high-end fidelity - creating big sound from a small portable package.

A200 Portable 2.1 Speaker System - High Fidelity in a Shocking and Portable Design

The design alone of this unique product is enough to generate gasps, but Saitek doesn't stop there. The Saitek A200 speaker utilizes an Expanded Air Volume System (EAVS(TM)) technology to generate powerful bass and high-range sound from its slim, quasi-triangular shape. Using a 3.5mm audio jack, the A200 is ideal for laptop users who wish to improve their DVD movie experience or even business users who wish to "soup-up" their multimedia presentations. Perfect for MP3 users (including iPod loyalists), the A200 works with PCs, Macs or any device that holds a user's digital music library. Pushing the high-tech on/off switch in the center of the device causes the EAVS chamber to slowly rise, allowing the otherwise slim device to create surprising bass and sound. The A200 is priced at $99 and can run for 24 hours on 4 AAA batteries or can be plugged in using the included AC adapter. Other features of the A200 2.1 Speaker System include:

-- True digital 2.1 stereo and bass system

-- Neodymium speaker magnets increase efficiency and reduce magnetic interference

-- Easily portable and durable enough for everyday use

-- Integrated volume and on/off controls

-- Tri-state LED indicates battery status

-- Includes AC adapter, protective travel case and micro-fiber polish cloth

A250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System - The Exclusive ANYWHERE Speaker

The A250 2.1 is dubbed the "anywhere speaker" due to the brand new wireless technology that allow consumers to remotely access digital music "trapped" on their computer. Users simply plug the included USB dongle into their computer, push the big blue button, and the computer and A250 are paired almost instantly. Frequency hopping ensures uninterrupted play and the new Class One Bluetooth chipset technology affords ranges of 300 feet line-of-site or 100 feet through walls. The unit includes a backlit screen and button control for volume, pause, play and forward/reverse song selection - allowing users to remotely control their play list on their computer. The A250 is player-agnostic and will work with whatever media player the user has on their computer. With the newly enhanced wireless range, the A250 can be enjoyed nearly anywhere in the house for easy access to Internet radio streamed from a user's computer, or it can be plugged directly into any device with a 3.5mm jack (such as iPod, MP3 players, computers, televisions, etc.). The A250 is priced at $129 and runs for 20 hours on 4 AA batteries or can be plugged in using the included AC adapter. Other features of the A250 2.1 Wireless Speaker System include:

-- True digital 2.1 stereo and bass system

-- Windows 2000 or XP

-- Connects to MP3 players (including iPods), CD and other portable players via 3.5mm jack audio cable (provided)

-- Requires 4 AA batteries for up to 20 hours of use

-- Neodymium speaker magnets increase efficiency and reduce magnetic interference

A350 Wireless Headphones - It's All in the Look

Saitek's smallest DME product brings music directly from your digital media player to your ears while on-the-go - sans the hassle of wires! Using the included wireless dongle, these Bluetooth headphones have a 25-foot range from your Sony PSP, laptop, or MP3 player (such as the iPod). The A350 Wireless Headphones use neodymium in-ear speakers for superior quality. Priced at $99, these headphones feature the same ultra-sleek styling of the other Saitek DME products, with a cool behind-the-head design that delivers a fashion statement and sound impression at the same time. Other features of the A350 Wireless Headphones include:

-- In-ear headphones for maximum clarity and comfort

-- Durable design with carrying case for protection

-- Ultra-lightweight rechargeable lithium polymer battery life gives 8 hours of play

-- Rechargeable through AC adapter (provided)
