JBL has introduced two new space-saving desktop speaker solutions with the launch of the JBL Duet II and JBL Duet II speaker systems.
Compatible with all Apple Mac desktops and laptops, Apple iPods, portable MP3 devices and devices that use a 3.5mm audio jack the 2.0 speakers deliver a clear and powerful sound from a small footprint claims JBL.
Both systems incorporate onboard digital amplifier technology designed to deliver high output with minimal distortion explain JBL.
The speaker systems also feature Computer Optimized Equalization (COE), which optimizes stereo imaging and system response off-axis.
Proprietary Phoenix transducer technology ensures that each JBL Duet II speaker, despite its small footprint of 4 inches in diameter, with a height of 10 inches, delivers solid bass, a crystal-clear midrange and smooth highs promise JBL.
The slightly larger JBL Duet III system at 4-5/8 inches by 12 inches tall, uses proprietary Warrior transducer technology to ensure similarly impressive sound for the compact size.
Available in gray with silver accents, the JBL Duet II and JBL Duet III desktop speaker systems have a suggested retail price of $99.95 and $149.95
UK pricing is to be confirmed.
