Boston Acoustics Announces MC100 Blue Wireless Bluetooth Speaker System for Effortless Streaming of Great-Sounding Music

Mahwah NJ, October 3, 2013 – Boston Acoustics®, a world-renowned manufacturer of innovative audio solutions and high performance loudspeakers, is pleased to announce the launch of its new MC100 Blue Wireless Bluetooth® music speaker for your home or office. Simply and easily stream your favorite music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth-enabled device—without the need for Wi-Fi or a network connection. Boston engineered and designed, the MC100 Blue (MSRP: $149) as a compact, sleek-minimalist unit that blends into its surroundings while filling any room with top-quality sound.

 

“In response to the rapidly growing number of people who have discovered the freedom and convenience of listening to their favorite music wirelessly, Boston Acoustics’ designers and engineers developed the MC100 Blue, using leading-edge Bluetooth technology to create a high quality speaker system that enables wireless streaming from the widest range of wireless enabled devices including mobile phones, tablets and computers,” said Danielle Kohler, product manager for Boston Acoustics. “The MC100 Blue is a new type of high-performance music system designed for today’s music lover that integrates easily into any home and doesn’t break the bank.”

Bluetooth Wireless Streaming with NFC and aptX Technologies
Boston Acoustics MC100 Blue includes near-field communication (NFC) for simple, tap-to-pair connectivity. This means users can literally tap a NFC-enabled device to the MC100 Blue speaker for one-touch pairing. (Many of today’s new phones and tablets include NFC.) The MC100 Blue also features aptX® technology for CD-like sound quality over Bluetooth.

Small Footprint Product Carries a Large Sound
The MC100 Blue Bluetooth speaker reproduces your music with a wide range and very natural sound reproduction- so you can enjoy music as the artist intended (and not rely on the tiny speakers found in a mobile phone, tablet or computer). Chances are, you’ll hear notes and instruments you hadn’t noticed before. Thanks to dual Boston-designed, high-performance 3.5-inch drivers, the MC100 Blue plays full-system sound from a compact speaker. MC100 Blue also features BassTrac® circuitry for consistent, superior sound. BassTrac, a Boston-designed patented technology that controls bass output dynamically dependent on volume level for satisfying bass at any listening level.

Clean, Minimalist Styling
The MC100 Blue’s unobtrusive size (approximately 6 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 5 inches deep; and weighs less than 5 pounds), gloss-black color, and sleek design are compatible with any environment and décor. High-grade materials both inside and outside the speaker add to the simple style. The buttons are discreetly located on the top, conveniently positioned for intuitive use. A seamless bass positions the speaker so it leans back slightly to a more elegant look. There is also a cool blue, LED volume “bar” behind the grille that lights when changing the volume.

The MC100 Blue is compact, easy to set up, and simple to use. The product comes with speaker system, universal power supply, owner's manual, quick-start guide, and a convenient remote control.

The MC100 Blue Wireless Bluetooth music system has a suggested retail price of $149 and is available online at www.bostonacoustics.com.
