FOXLV2 HI-FI BLUETOOTH SPEAKER NOW AVAILABLE FOR CARS & BIKES

foxL – World’s Only Pocket-sized Speaker & Speaker Phone for Audio Purists –
Announces Custom-Fit Car Mounts & Universal Bike Mounts
 

Reno, NV, August 4, 2011 – Soundmatters www.soundmatters.com, the leader in high-quality, portable speakers founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, announced today the availability of the new foxL Vehicle Bracket Mounting System and foxL Universal Bicycle Mount for the ultimate wireless portable speaker on the road – the foxLTMv2 Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker. Now use your foxL’s Wireless speakerphone for answering calls or listen to tunes while driving or bicycling with the new mounts designed by ProClip, the award-winning mounting company.

Vehicle & Bicycle Mounting Systems Work with Any Car or Bike!

The mounts were designed to fit all foxL and foxLv2 speaker models and feature custom mounted swivel brackets for virtually any car model and year, with a variety of mounting locations available in each car. They mount in about 2 minutes with no cutting required. The weatherproof Universal Bicycle Mount works with any bicycle for listening to music or for phone calls.

“When TIME magazine named foxL a Top 10 Gadget of the Year, they applauded its on-road application and we’ve since had lots and lots of customers ask us about using their foxL in their vehicles and for biking, both for music AND as a speakerphone. We couldn’t really talk up the benefits until now,” said Lee Adams, Vice President, Soundmatters International, Inc. “The folks at ProClip have now provided us a really nice bracket and mounting system. And for bikes, we’re bundling their foxL bracket with a really nice bike mount.”

The perfect travel companion, foxL is both a speakerphone AND the first pocket-sized wireless speaker that audio purists will love, with a range of unique sound features, such as foxL’s patented “Twoofers,” “BassBattery,” and other technologies. foxL provides amazingly smooth deep bass and an “open & airy” listening experience that provides iPhones, iPads and other Bluetooth devices with the superior sound quality they so desperately need to let you enjoy your portable movie and music experience to the fullest.

Priced at approximately $65 for the foxL Vehicle Bracket Mounting System and $49.95 for the foxL Universal Bicycle Mount, the products are immediately available for purchase exclusively from Soundmatters at: www.soundmatters.com. The foxLv2 Bluetooth hi-fi speaker is also available, sold separately, priced at $199.

VOGEL’S ANNOUNCES “RINGO” MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR IPAD 2, GALAXY TAB & OTHER POPULAR TABLETS

 

VOGEL’S ANNOUNCES “RINGO” MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR IPAD 2, GALAXY TAB & OTHER POPULAR TABLETS 
RingO’s Modular Design Lets You Quickly Mount Your iPad 2 Onto Any Surface: Wall, Car, Tile, Boat, & More 

March 28, 2011, Eindhoven, Netherlands – Vogel’s^® www.vogels.com, the European market leader in Audio/Video & TV mounting solutions, announced today the world-wide launch of the new patented

RingO^® universal tablet mounting system for iPad 2, iPad, and Galaxy Tab, with new versions for additional tablets available at a later date.  The RingO system allows users to mount their tablet onto virtually any surface: wall, car, tile, boat, to enjoy watching movies, reading the latest news, or using any app, hands free. 

Snap On & Off to Quickly Move iPad 2 from One Location to Next 

RingO’s key feature is its simplicity – its modular design lets users quickly snap the RingO Cover onto a tablet, which then can be clicked securely onto a variety of  RingO mounts:  Wall Mount, Car Mount, Flexible Mount and others.  Just quickly squeeze the mount clips to release the iPad from the mount, click quickly onto the next Mount, and your tablet is ready to use wherever it’s needed. 

RingO to Support a Range of Major Tablets 

Introduced in Europe at IFA in Berlin on September 2010, under the name Mount & Cover, Vogel’s launched the mounting system for original iPad in the U.S. at Macworld Expo in San Francisco, January 2011, under the new RingO trademarked name, which better captures the essence of the circular mounting design.  Albert Zeeman, VP Innovations at Vogel’s, said: “We simply needed a better name for our patented system.  Mount & Cover was focused on the original iPad, while RingO will support a range of major tablets. It is our expectation that tablet and accessory manufacturers will be excited by the potential, and will seek to license RingO for incorporation into their products.” 

RingO for iPad 2 and other tablets will be available internationally in late April from major retailers and Apple Premium Resellers, priced at: $69.99 for the Starter Pack and $99.99 for the Car Pack.

“We have a lot of individuals going from personal to commercial,” Mr. Grayson said.
