iSymphony - iPod Audio/Video Technology Integration

Audio innovations and enhancements have come in many formats with new jumps in technologies over recent years. What can be done with these technologies for the consumer may be coming into a new light by a new company.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- iSymphony Holdings Enterprises, LLC (iSymphony(TM)) is proud to officially announce the launch of its new iSymphony line, designed to integrate these technologies and provide new eye-opening applications of them for the user. Rodney Rich, Director of Marketing for iSymphony, pointed out flatly that "unlike the many 'i' companies marketing products today, the 'i' in iSymphony stands for something other than just riding the iPod coat tails: it represents integration and innovation. iSymphony combines traditional audio needs with unique applications of iPod and contemporary music sharing devices."

The market is filled with devices that allow you to play your favorite iPod tunes via a dock and speakers, but do not allow you to do much else. CD's, your favorite radio stations and staple functions of traditional audio systems seem to have been forgotten. iSymphony has integrated these functions and many others into its unique products along with the iPod "playability." One flagship model in the line, the M1, (available at Best Buy, Radio Shack, CompUSA, Fry's Electronics and many notable retailers across the U.S.) has an integrated CD/MP3 player, USB, SD/MMC inputs for flash memory devices to be played through the unit, an AM/FM stereo tuner, MP3 and WMA playback, a backlit clock with "wake up to your favorite music" functions, and caps it all off (literally) with a built in universal dock for iPod with adapters for all docking iPod models included. The system allows your iPod to charge while docked, and with the M1's PC connectivity, allows you to re-mix your tunes through the system! Oh -- for the iPod shuffle owners, fear not; just plug your unit into the USB port and enjoy the very rich sound the M1 provides. The unit's sound quality is superb, and is enhanced by Dynamic Bass Boost and preset EQ settings.

Need more? The iSymphony M2 takes all of the M1's features and adds a Progressive Scan DVD/MPEG4 player plus additional flash memory via its Memory Stick compatibility. The result: a DVD/Home Theater/iPod system that appeals to every member of the family, whether at home, office or dormitory. It is the ultimate "all-in-one" system. The company seems to have thought of everything: you can even take your SD card from your digital camera, plug it in to your M2, and have a home slide show on your large screen TV. The unit plays your iPod videos on your TV, too, showing all relevant information regarding the artist, song number, etc.

The iSymphony line features products that incorporate iPod functions and docking/charging stations in micro systems, clock radios and other product categories. There is no skimping on sound quality, either, as the speakers, amps, and power of the iSymphony systems provide rich, high fidelity sound.

Mr. Rich cited the impressive retail account roster that picked up the line immediately upon its inception, and also pointed to prominent chains abroad that similarly picked up the products as soon as they were deliverable, most notably Dixon's, the largest electronics retailer in the U.K. and Europe. Rich attributed the immediate pick-up of the line to its novel applications, noting that the company's marketing and R&D staffs saw market conditions that allowed for simple integrations that would have mass appeal and start "a migration from iPod speakers with no functions to integrated and loaded 'hybrid' units that would also revive flat audio system categories worldwide. Once this occurred to the team, the direction and focus of the company immediately crystallized; what you'll see from iSymphony in the very near future will take great existing technologies -- including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi -- and utilize them with simplicity and sensible applications that bring great convenience to the consumer."

Rich went on to add that the company will be showcasing these technologies in its new line of products at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. He stated that "The Company will maintain its iPod integration with new twists to it, while looking to broaden our demographic reach to the widest degree possible with products that are perfect for any member of the family in any setting. I believe that it will be difficult for anyone to find mainstream categories of product with features that rival the level of innovation we'll be unveiling."

Most products under the iSymphony line up are part of the "Made for iPod" program. This program designed by Apple allows for companies such as iSymphony to state "Made for iPod" on POP materials, as well as on the packaging of products that have been authorized by Apple to use their proprietary dock connection within. iSymphony is very proud to meet the high expectations of Apple under this program, and, as Mr. Rich concluded: "This is only the beginning."
