-- Trio Joins The Company's Horizon Line of High Performance Tabletop Music Systems;
Features Slot-Loading CD Drive, Plus Boston's Unique "P.O.P." Approach
to Color & Personalization --
LAS VEGAS, January 8th, 2009 - Boston Acoustics, Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer
of high performance loudspeakers and a longtime leader in the premium tabletop radio
category, is proud to announce it is expanding its popular line of
Horizon
tabletop music systems with the addition of the
Horizon Trio (SRP: $499.99),
a compact stereo CD radio system that combines the best qualities of a CD player
and speaker system with an LCD digital alarm clock and AM/FM tuner in a single unit.
To expand the Horizon Trio's capabilities even further, users may purchase an
optional
HRD-i iPod Dock (SRP: $49.99).
Fresh One-Piece Cabinet Design Reflects Boston Acoustics Play Smart™ Attitude
Like all Horizon tabletop music systems, the new one-piece Trio features a unique
"soft touch" cabinet design and molded controls, soft blue backlighting
and perforated metal front grille, reflecting Boston Acoustics Play Smart attitude,
combining contemporary design with extraordinary performance. The slot-loading CD
drive allows CD and MP3 playback and the unit's precision AM/FM tuner provides
noise-free reception of even the weakest stations.
High Performance Speakers, Plus BassTrac® for Clean, Rich Low Frequency Response
The stereo Trio model features dual high performance 3 ½ -inch full-range speakers,
for clean full range performance and room filling sound. Line and stereo headphone
outputs add to the convenience and flexibility, along with dual independent alarm
clocks with sleep timers. For outstanding audio performance and room filling sound,
Trio features advanced BassTrac® audio processing for clean bass at all listening
levels. Further enhancing audio quality, Trio features full-range drivers and dual
independently tuned acoustic chambers, all of which contribute to a very expansive
sound from a relatively small unit. Other features include over-molded rubber controls,
a snooze bar, a soft-touch back box, and metal grilles.
Creature-friendly 360 degree "Sn-o-o-o-o-o-ze" Bar
Like all Horizon radios, the Trio features Boston Acoustics' creature-friendly
Snooze bar. The entire front aluminum trim of the radio is a touch-sensitive snooze
bar, which lets sleepy users activate the alarm clock snooze function by simply
touching any part of the aluminum trim! With snooze bar users never again have to
worry about fumbling around in the dark to find the snooze button - which means
more sleep and less stress!
Make It Your Own with Boston Acoustics P.O.P.
Horizon "color-centric" tabletop radios come in either a midnight or mist
finish with matching perforated metal grilles. However, to make it easy for customers
to individualize the look of their Boston Horizon radios and match them perfectly
to the décor of any room in the house, today or anytime in the future (kitchen,
den, bedroom, bathroom), they all feature Boston Acoustics' new Personal Options
Plan (P.O.P.) design concept. P.O.P. lets users customize the look of their radio
by offering optional metal grilles available in a wide variety of colors, including
Glacier, Rosebud, Onyx, Pearl Gray, Caramel, Chocolat, Spanish Moss, Olive and Chili
Pepper. To purchase a new grille, customers can simply visit the Boston Acoustics
website www.bostonacoustics.com/POP) and select the color of their choice or contact
those dealers that will be stocking the grille color options.
The new Horizon Trio joins the Boston Acoustics line of popular Horizon radios,
including the mono model Horizon Solo (SRP: $99.99) as well as the stereo model
with built-in iPod dock, Horizon Duo-i (SRP: $199.99), each offer a unique combination
of "hip-smart" visual appeal, extraordinary audio, and advanced creature-friendly
features.
