CREATIVE REDEFINES HOME AUDIO WITH ZIISOUND DX SERIES OF PURE WIRELESS MODULAR BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS

Introduces a Paradigm Shift in the Home Audio Listening Experience

SINGAPORE – 5 May 2011 – Creative Technology Ltd today announced the launch of a brand new category of wireless speakers, the ZiiSound Dx series of pure wireless modular speakers.

The ZiiSound Dx series consists of the ZiiSound D5x wireless one-piece speaker, ZiiSound D3x wireless one-piece speaker and ZiiSound DSx wireless subwoofer.

These speakers are set to redefine the home audio experience for consumers and establish a new standard for how retailers sell speakers. With the introduction of pure wireless modularity, Creative changes how consumers can purchase a home audio system.

Flexible Configuration

The ZiiSound Dx series revolutionises the home audio system. In this revolutionary new system, wireless speakers connect independently to stereo Bluetooth devices such as the iPhone, Blackberry, Android phone, iPad or Creative ZiiO tablet, and can also be configured so more speakers are connected wirelessly to form a multi-channel home audio system. The ZiiSound Dx series also features renowned apt-X audio technology for outstanding sound quality.

Unlike with traditional speaker systems, users will no longer need to purchase a fixed speaker configuration for a specific use in the home. Creative’s one-piece pure wireless modular speakers let users upgrade from a single speaker to a larger configuration by simply adding more speakers wirelessly.

Start Simple
1 x ZiiSound D5x
or
1 x ZiiSound D3x

Add Bass
1 x ZiiSound D5x + 1 x ZiiSound DSx
or
1 x ZiiSound D3x + 1x ZiiSound DSx

Get a Wider Soundstage
1 x ZiiSound D5x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Right Channel)
or
1 x ZiiSound D3x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D3x (Right Channel)

Create the Ultimate Wireless Entertainment Speaker System
1 x ZiiSound D5x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Centre Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Right Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound DSx

Flexible Placement

The built-in flexibility to add or subtract speakers means the same system can have many uses. Users will now be able to create different speakers systems – ideal for music, movies and games – for different rooms throughout the home.

A one-piece speaker for bedside music listening
A 2.1 speaker system for bedroom or study room for games or music listening
A 3.1 speaker system for living room music, movies and game audio entertainment

Low Basic Start Cost

Using pure wireless modular speakers will also translate into cost savings. Everyone will now be able to purchase a single pure wireless modular speaker unit for as low as S$199, with the assurance of being able to add on speakers later. This is unlike traditional speaker systems, where users are forced to buy another system to expand or reconfigure the existing speaker system. This translates into the high cost of purchasing multiple systems.

“With pure wireless modularity, everything changes when it comes to the home speaker system, both for the end-user and also for the retailer. With the ZiiSound Dx series of Bluetooth wireless speakers, consumers can enjoy the flexibility and versatility of starting with one speaker and expanding to a multi-channel home audio system,” said Ting Lai Chu, Vice President for the Advanced Multimedia Group at Creative Technology Ltd.

“For the retailer, the change is no less profound. Today retailers have to keep stock of various system configurations with dedicated use, so inventory exposure is a challenge that they need to manage. With Creative’s new range of pure wireless modular speakers, retailers simply need to keep the three speaker models of the ZiiSound Dx series in their inventory to meet consumer demand for single or multi-channel wireless speaker systems.” she added.
