Cambridge SoundWorks Introduces The Outdoor - High-performance, All-Weather Speakers
Personal Entertainment Speaker System
Outdoor Entertaining Has Never Sounded So Good

Andover, MA, January 21, 2003 - For those who want a great way to bring music out to the patio, the pool or the backyard this summer, Cambridge SoundWorks® has introduced a new line of outdoor speakers - The Outdoor® 42, 52 and 62. The Outdoor All-Weather Speakers combine the styling and no-compromise performance of Cambridge SoundWorks high-end Newton Series™ loudspeaker line with the rugged durability of a well-designed outdoor speaker. This means they can be placed anywhere outside without being damaged by the elements. The Outdoor series of speakers range in price from $199.99 to $299.99. Cambridge SoundWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd (Nasdaq: CREAF).

The Outdoor All-Weather Speakers are freestanding, weather-resistant speakers that are outfitted in a tightly sealed, moisture resistant calcium-filled polypropylene enclosure. Brass and aluminum hardware, stainless steel screws and gold-plated binding posts and spade lugs are used to ensure long-term endurance. They offer the high-performance, natural, accurate wide-range sound Cambridge SoundWorks is famous for, and are also efficient enough for loud play, even in unenclosed spaces. The Outdoor All-Weather Speakers come with a paintable white finish and are equipped with U-shaped brackets that allow for fast and easy mounting.

"The Outdoor All-Weather Speakers were designed so our customers could bring high performance audio anywhere outdoors when entertaining friends and family in the summer months," said Tom Hannaher, Vice President of Merchandise, Cambridge SoundWorks. "The Outdoors' weather-resistant design means these speakers can be placed near the pool, deck or patio and won't be damaged by the elements, offering high performance audio outdoors all year round."
