Andover, MA - This holiday season, shoppers will be
after the latest gadgets for family and friends. Among those
in demand are MP3 players and related accessories. Cambridge
SoundWorks® highlights some of the most popular products now
available (www.cambridgesoundworks.com).
Cambridge SoundWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative
Technology Ltd Nasdaq: CREAF).
Speakers and MP3 players.
Cambridge SoundWorks' Amplified PC speakers, which can cost
from as low as $40 up to hundreds of dollars, can connect
to anything with a headphone jack or line output. Three-piece
systems, such as our SoundWorks® Amplified Speaker system
($69.99), feature a pair of satellite speakers and a subwoofer
that will deliver loud, clear sound with deep, accurate bass
response. When an MP3 player is connected to PC speakers it
creates a small, unassuming system that will sound better
than some home stereos - at a moderate price. And, since SoundWorks
can also be purchased with a traveling case, it's the perfect
system for MP3 users on the go.
You can also bring great sounding music anywhere with the
Creative TravelSound® 200 ($49.99). Compact and lightweight,
the TravelSound 200 is the perfect portable palm-sized speaker
with built-in high precision Titanium micro drivers to deliver
crystal clear audio playback. It's suitable for listening
to MP3 players and music CDs, or even watching movies on a
notebook computer.
MP3 players with a difference.
The Creative® Zen Touch ($249.99) is smaller and lighter than
previous Zen models and holds twice the music, featuring 20GB
capacity to hold up to 10,000 songs. The Zen Touch breaks
new ground, introducing the first linear touch-sensitive pad
controller in a digital music player, enabling users to quickly
and easily navigate to specific albums, artists, genres, tracks,
or playlists. The Zen Touch plays non-stop with incredible
24 hour battery life, and provides industry-leading audio
quality and broad compatibility with download services supporting
WMA and MP3 music.
For those who want the ultimate in portable audio and visual
entertainment, there's the Creative® Zen Portable Media Center
($499.99). The Zen Portable Media Center lets consumers watch
up to 85 hours of video, listen to over 9,000 songs and view
tens of thousands of photos on a sleek, handheld device. Its
intuitive Microsoft interface offers familiar, fast and easy
access to favorite digital media and offers the freedom to
take it anywhere. Zen supports all popular audio, video and
picture formats including MP3, WMA, WMV and JPG.
High performance radios and MP3 players.
Another alternative for MP3 users is to connect their player
to a high performance radio, such as the SoundWorks® Radio
CD ($299.99), which is not only versatile but also has a built-in
powered subwoofer for room filling sound. The SoundWorks Radio
CD lets users connect their players to the radio's AUX input
and take advantage of its wide-range sound and great bass.
It also plays MP3 files on CD-ROM.
