High Quality Audio Performance: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform
high fidelity sound system delivers balanced, natural sound with smooth
bass, vocal clarity, & crisp highs that complement any genre of music.
Class D Amplifier: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform employs a class D
amplifier to power its enclosed drivers. The unit's class D amplifier & DSP
(digital signal processor) are tuned to dynamically reproduce balanced sound
across the frequency spectrum (20-20kHz).
UQ3 Spatial Sound Enhancement: Relative to larger speaker
system, compact home audio products have a relatively short distance between the
left & right speakers, resulting in limited stereo separation. UQ3 DSP
technology creates a psychoacoustic effect by controlling sound wave interaction
that enhances the perceived stereo separation. The benefit is that you get a
compact system while enjoying an immersive audio experience.
Custom Engineered Drivers: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform is
fitted with dual 2.75" full-range Kevlar-reinforced balanced drivers which
provide light-weight, well dampened rigidity to control motion. The magnets that drive the
speakers' voice coils are a unique blend of iron & carbon that allow a longer
excursion of the diaphragm. This "long-throw" design displaces a larger air
volume which creates deep, smooth bass sound.
Dual Port Chambers: The Dual Port Chambers control air flow in the
system. As the speaker ports wrap from the driver to the rear ports, the
nautilus shaped path increases the air travel while allowing the acoustic
chamber to fit within a compact footprint. Using reinforced plastic resin and
sealed assembly, air leaks & unintended reverberation that degrade sound
performance are eliminated.
Audio Sources
Four Ways to Play: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform plays audio from four
different sources (Bluetooth, iPod dock, FM, & Aux) offering a great deal of
flexibility. Its easy to use with many different devices and share with your
family, friends, & co-workers.
Bluetooth Wireless: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform supports Bluetooth
(ver. 2.0) A2DP
wireless audio streaming. The Soundfreaq's built-in Bluetooth wireless function works with
many A2DP compatible devices & wirelessly plays any audio (including music &
apps) that would
otherwise play through the device's internal speaker or headphone. The Sound
Platform's built-in Bluetooth enables broad bandwidth transfer of high quality
digital audio from up to 33' away. The Sound Platform's built-in Bluetooth
supports many of today's most popular Bluetooth enabled devices - such as your
Apple mobile device (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad); smartphone (Android, Blackberry,
HTC, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba); & laptop (Windows/Mac).
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology,
some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or
may not support all features when used with the Sound Platform.
Apple Dock: The Soundfreaq Sound Platform features an Apple 30-pin
dock connector with universal well for audio playback, remote control, & charging
of most docking Apple iPods & iPhones. The Sound Platform is compatible with the
following iPods & iPhones (as of November 2011):
