Zoom® Begins Shipping iHiFi Product
Line
iHiFi plays iPods and other Audio Devices
on a Stereo – Wirelessly!
Boston, MA , August 16, 2006 — Zoom Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOM) today announced that it began shipping
its new iHiFitm line of wireless products for playing a stereo
remotely from an iPod, MP3 player, computer sound card, or
other audio device. Zoom's iHiFi line now includes a Bluetooth
receiver that attaches to a stereo or powered speakers, a
line of Bluetooth transmitters for iPods, MP3 players, and
other audio devices, and Combo products that pair the iHiFi
receiver with an iHiFi transmitter. The complete Combo solution
retails for approximately $99.
The iHiFi line includes Transmitters custom-designed for various
iPods, and also includes a Universal Transmitter designed
to work with any iPod or other audio source that has a headphone
jack. With iHiFi wireless, an iPod can be used as a powerful
remote for control of song selection, playlist and volume
at a range of up to 70 feet from the iHiFi receiver. iHiFi
Bluetooth wireless technology provides excellent range and
high fidelity sound, and is far less susceptible to interference
and static than FM wireless approaches.
iHiFi allows people to dance, socialize, work or relax with
high-quality audio, but without the isolation, discomfort
and interference of headsets. Connected to powered speakers,
iHiFi provides an inexpensive portable music system for the
garage, deck, kitchen or wherever someone wants to enjoy his
or her favorite sounds.
The Model 4353 Universal Transmitter includes a battery that
can be recharged from a computer's USB port or from an iHiFi
Receiver power cube. Some other iHiFi Transmitters, including
model 4350 for the iPod mini and model 4354 for the iPod 3G
and 4G, are custom-designed to fit particular iPods and to
draw their power from the iPod. The Model 4360 iHiFi Receiver
plugs into standard input jacks on an audio system or powered
speakers, and its power cube plugs into an AC outlet.
The Model 4360 iHiFi Receiver works with all iHiFi Transmitters
and with Zoom Bluetooth adapters supporting A2DP profiles,
including USB Class 1 Bluetooth Model 4310BF, USB Class 2
Bluetooth Model 4320AF, and PC Card Class 1 Bluetooth Model
4312AF.
