Parrot, a leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, will announce the launch of two new sleek and powerful wireless stereo speaker systems at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week — the Parrot DS1120, a set of trendy and sleek 30W wireless speakers which were selected as a finalist in the Music category of the Bluetooth(R) SIG Best of CES 2008 contest, and the Parrot DS3120 which combines a multi-connectivity stereo speaker dock with hands-free calling capabilities for an all-in-one home entertainment hub. Parrot will demonstrate these products at CES, South Hall booth # 36838.
PARROT DS3120- The new Parrot DS3120 is an innovative home stereo that combines Parrot’s award-winning wireless music and hands-free calling technology in one unit. Consumers can now enjoy their music without being tethered to headphones, allowing them to listen to music out loud virtually anywhere, anytime.
The Parrot DS3120 allows users to play music from mobile phones, music
players, PCs and laptops wirelessly via Bluetooth(R) Stereo (A2DP) or
through a USB connection. It also has an SD card slot, a line-in for iPod and a built-in FM/RDS radio.
Once paired with a mobile phone, the unit also allows users to search
through their contacts and channel voice calls through its high-quality 20W
speakers. The 1.8-inch color TFT screen displays track and album details
when playing music and phonebook information when making or taking a call. When in music mode, the track details are grouped by source, artist, album and title. Users can select their source, see the track information and
enjoy their music.
The Parrot DS3120 has its own battery power source when required,
allowing for up to 10 hours playback, and weighs in at only 1.5kg / 3.3 lbs
making it highly portable.
Voice calls are high-quality thanks to Parrot’s heritage in making high- end in-car communications technology. A microphone built into the unit picks up the user’s voice from wherever they are in room and effectively cancels out all background noise. When receiving incoming calls with caller ID, music is automatically muted and any phonebook images stored on the user’s mobile phone are displayed on the bright screen.
The Parrot DS3120 will be available in Europe and the U.S. in the second quarter of 2008 with a suggested MSRP of $249.99.
PARROT DS1120 - The Parrot DS1120 is an all-new high-fidelity set of wireless stereo speakers that work seamlessly with the users’ cell phone, MP3-player, or laptop, delivering unrivalled sound quality in the house. Packed in a pure and compact design, it plays the users favorite tracks from any Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP) music source with great audio quality.
The Parrot DS1120 has a Class-D digital amplifier in each speaker with
a total power output of 30W RMS, delivering crystal-clear sound with the
necessary punch. The bass system is cleverly hidden in the speaker stands
and the three-button user interface located at the top speaker face is
touch- sensitive. If the audio source device does not have Bluetooth technology nor support the A2DP profile, users can still play music wirelessly by using a Bluetooth 2.0. USB Parrot dongle included with the
Parrot DS1120 or in the traditional way by simply connecting their music
source via the included line- in RCA jack.
The Parrot DS1120 will be available in Europe and the U.S. in the second quarter of 2008 with a suggested MSRP of $279.99.
