New Ruggedized 'Life Jacket' Bluetooth Portable Speaker by Altec Lansing Keeps the Music Playing - Even in Extreme Conditions
Resists Water, Dirt & Shock; Features Washable Skin; Lasts Up to 16 Hours Per Charge
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 2014 INTERNATIONAL CES -- Audio innovator Altec Lansing today launched the ultra-rugged "The Life Jacket(TM)" iMW575 portable wireless Bluetooth(®) speaker - designed to deliver Altec's legendary studio-quality sound anywhere your adventures take you - at the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas.
Featuring an IPX7 rating for durability as well as a heavy-duty, washable rubberized skin, the Life Jacket is waterproof, shock-resistant, and constructed to withstand dirt, sand and dust to be sure the music never stops - wherever you are. And at just 6" long, 2" high and one pound, you can take it just about anywhere.
No power? No worries: the powerful Lithium-ion battery ensures up to 16 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. A USB connector even turns the Life Jacket into a charger for any smartphone or device with or without AC power.
And - because it's from Altec Lansing - the Life Jacket packs an audio punch with aptX(®) CD-quality audio and dual 2.5" Neodymium drivers with passive radiator.
"Whether you're at a party, on the beach, off-roading or camping, you want to hear your music as it was meant to be heard: crisp and clear. Now the Life Jacket makes it possible," said Ike S. Franco, Managing Partner of Altec Lansing.
Bonus: pair the Life Jacket with any Apple(®), Android(TM) or BlackBerry(®) phone, and it doubles as a speakerphone, with an onboard microphone for clear hands-free calls and spoken caller ID that makes it easy to accept, reject and terminate calls with voice commands. With a 30-foot signal range, the Life Jacket pairs easily and remembers up to eight devices, including any Bluetooth-enabled tablet or laptop, plus any other device with a built-in 3.5mm port.
The Life Jacket comes in seven colors and will be available at select retailers in Spring 2014. To learn more, visit http://www.alteclansing.com.
