INDIANAPOLIS (April 23, 2007) — As the Apple iPod continues to strike the right note with consumers and seize major market share, Klipsch plans to take a larger bite out of the corresponding speaker accessories space with the new pint-sized iGroove SXT.
“Our smallest and most affordable iPod speaker to date, the iGroove SXT gives listeners a lot of bang for their buck,” said Tony Ostrom, Klipsch director of product planning. “Because it takes advantage of refined industrial design, premium materials, and innovative technology, this little four-pound system can easily fill a room or office with larger-than-life performances.”
The iGroove SXT is a true two-way, stereo sound system that employs dual long-throw 2.5-inch woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 3/4-inch MicroTractrix™ Horn-loaded tweeters. Klipsch is the only company in this category to utilize horn technology, a design that delivers lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy.
The system accepts and charges any iPod with a 30-pin connector. Universal well inserts are included to securely dock the assorted models. The shuffle and other digital devices connect via a rear auxiliary input, while an S-video output lets users view videos on external monitors. The iGroove SXT comes with an IR remote and is ready to perform as soon as you plug it in and dock an iPod.
Available in a black finish with a unique black cloth grille, the iGroove SXT fits comfortably into any office or living environment. Because it has a shallow enclosure depth, the system is also wall mountable using a bracket that is sold separately on klipsch.com.
The iGroove SXT is priced at $169.99 (U.S. MSRP). It will be available for purchase in early May at retail and on klipsch.com.
