Palm-Sized Bass Blasters

'foxLO' Brings Low Tones to Portable Speakers

— January 8, 2012 — Tech
Soundmatters' 'foxLO' is a portable tech piece that will bring a whole lot of bass for those who need to kick their tunes up a notch.

With portable devices, certain sacrifices in performance such as bass is expected given the limited size; however, the foxLO is about to change all that. Soundmatters is calling their new device the very first palm-sized sub woofer. The foxLO has a patented Linear Magnetic Drive woofer technology that will pump out 25 watts of bass. The only catch is that it only runs through a main power, which means it's not wireless and that speakers have to be connected to it at all times. But the good news is that these are compatible with just about any speaker.

Look for the foxLO to make its debut at CES 2012.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Bass Speakers - New developments in miniaturization and sound technology have opened the way for portable bass speakers that deliver performance that was previously only possible with full-size equipment.
2. Linear Magnetic Drive Technology - The patented Linear Magnetic Drive woofer technology is a disruptive innovation that has the potential to change the way portable speakers are designed and engineered, making it possible to deliver high-quality, low-frequency sound in a compact form factor.
3. Palm-sized Sub Woofers - Soundmatters' foxLO is the first palm-sized sub woofer, creating a new market segment for high-quality, portable, bass-boosting speaker systems.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage the latest advances in miniaturization and sound technology to create innovative products that meet the growing demand for high-performance, portable audio equipment, especially in the youth market.
2. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can capitalize on the rising popularity of portable audio equipment by incorporating these new portable bass speakers into movie theaters, gaming centers, and other entertainment venues, creating immersive, high-fidelity audio experiences for audiences.
3. Automotive - The automotive industry can integrate these new portable sub woofers into their vehicles to create premium, high-performance audio systems that deliver a powerful and immersive listening experience for drivers and passengers alike.
