Speck Products Announces SpeckTone Retro Stereo Speaker System for iPod

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2006

Today Speck Products announced SpeckTone Retro- the first product in a line of fashion and performance focused speaker systems for iPod.

SpeckTone Retro looks like nothing youve seen for the iPod. The clean lines and nostalgic elegance of 1950s style makes a statement without replicating or competing with the modern, sleek look of the iPod itself. The all wood, sonically tuned speaker cabinet is finished with a high-gloss lacquered piano finish, a gorgeous high-end feature previously available only on speaker sets 5 times the price of SpeckTone Retro.

Until now, all the iPod speaker sets available looked very similar, said Specks General Manager Tim Hickman. SpeckTone Retro offers a unique and very cool look, different and more fashionable than anything on the market. Were excited to offer such a dynamic product with a hip personality, great sound and an affordable price.

Compact in size yet substantial in sound, the SpeckTone Retro rocks hard and loud with a 28 watt output, 4 subwoofer for pumping bass, and two 3 drivers. The analog circuitry inside completes the retro spirit and sound of the product, producing rich, deep tones and blowing away any and all competitors in the $ 150 price range.

SpeckTone Retro is available in 3 high-gloss lacquered finishes. Go totally retro with the signature green/brown color combo, keep it sleek and modern with the black-on-black, or pay homage to the classic iPod look with the white and silver SpeckTone. The integrated iPod dock supports iPod with video, iPod nano, 4G iPods (color and b&w), and iPod mini. iPod Shuffle or other portable devices such as CD players, tape decks or MP3s can be plugged in thru the 1/8 AUX jack in the back of the SpeckTone Retro. Product will begin shipping to consumers and retail partners on June 12, 2006 with an MSRP of $ 149.95. Consumers can pre-order now at http://www.speckproducts.com.
