Illuminated Patio Speakers

The Acoustic Research Saratoga Speaker Range is Unveiled at CES 2016

The Acoustic Research Saratoga wireless speaker will be unveiled at this year's CES 2016 event in Las Vegas. The city's annual Consumer Electronics Show is a hub for tech start-ups and established brands that are looking to reveal revolutionary products and gadget concepts.

Acoustic Research launched a unique product this year, unveiling a seemingly traditional patio light that is actually a high quality audio device. The Acoustic Research Saratoga speaker range is unveiled alongside the brand's Santa Clara collection -- featuring similar designs but a larger speaker size.

Ideal for home owners who love to entertain outdoors, these speakers are not only stylish but are also convenient, featuring a wireless and dual-purpose design.
