LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- International
CES, Center Hall, Booth 10404-10415 -- Acoustic Research
(AR), a wholly owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation
(NASDAQ:VOXX), today unlocks the wireless potential built into
virtually every iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod® touch, with their AirPlay
Audio System. Now your iTunes® playlists can get high quality AR
sound and stream your music wirelessly. Simply plug in the AR audio
system to any 12-volt outlet, connect it to your WiFi network and
instantly stream music wirelessly from any iPad, iPhone, or iPod
touch in your network. The AR system keeps control in the palm of
your hand as you continue using your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to
control the music.
"Acoustic Research has a history of design, innovation and
technology, and our new AirPlay audio system continues this
tradition," stated David Geise,
President of Audiovox Accessories Corporation. "AirPlay is a
proprietary protocol suite developed by Apple and licensed to
partners like us that allows wireless streaming of audio, video,
and photos, together with related metadata between devices over a
Wi-Fi network. In addition to adding AR quality sound, we've
designed a great looking, high style piece that is simple to set
up."
The AirPlay Audio System by Acoustic Research is better than
traditional docking and other wireless devices because you can
control your music from your Apple iOS device, giving you freedom
as a full-function User Interface (UI) remote. It also allows you
to get music from multiple Apple devices. iTunes music
libraries are capable of playing music away from the PC and it is
simple to use (no pairing, always ready). You get high
quality audio over Wi-Fi, with no use of dongles. You can also link
up multiple audio speakers through your house and stream/control
your audio files from any room in your home. The ARAP50 will be
available in the spring of 2012, with a suggested retail price of
$199.99.
"The AirPlay Audio System not only lets you hear your music
libraries everywhere and anywhere in your home, it also delivers
unsurpassed AR quality sound," said Geise. "This powerful AR audio
system can turn any user into the 'house' DJ."
The Acoustic Research brand is marketed by Audiovox Accessories
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp.
(NASDAQ: VOXX).
