Edifier Launches Sensational Spinnaker Speaker System

Striking, iconic system combines abstract shape with outstanding audio performance and Bluetooth connectivity.  

Since its inception in 1996, Edifier has developed a worldwide reputation for developing and Marketing visionary speaker systems that combine state-of-the-art design with a sound quality reflecting one of their core strengths: 'Passion for sound'.

This reputation has been recognised at the recent CES 2012 show where the latest lifestyle-product - the Spinnaker - was awarded an 'Innovations Design and Engineering Award' following months of fine-tuning of the product by ex-Wharfdale Production Manager Phil Jones. Edifier is now delighted to be able to bring this stunning new product to a global audience.

  
The Spinnaker is an iconic system, standing 15 inches tall the abstract shape is designed to be visually striking as well as a facilitator to enhance the audio performance. The shape projects sound towards the listener with a 19mm silk domed, front facing tweeter, a 2¾ inch mid-range driver, reinforced with a downward firing 4 inch subwoofer in each satellite.

The Spinnaker is Bluetooth enabled, allowing audio connectivity to any Bluetooth device that supports both A2DP and AVRCA profiles for versatile track navigation, play/mute and volume adjustment through the multi-functional dome-shaped remote control. The remote control operates on a 433Mhz radio frequency up to a 10M radius making all control options easily accessible without the disturbance of inanimate objects. An optical and auxiliary input port is also available for connectivity to other external multimedia devices simultaneously. A speaker-output port allows an external subwoofer/speaker to be connected for additional base performance, making the Spinnaker a versatile system for both home and office use.
