Audiovox XM Xpress Radio For Cars and Home
Today Audiovox and XM Satellite Radio Unveil the Audiovox XM Xpress Radio, the all-new XM plug-and-play receiver from Audiovox. The Xpress is the smallest satellite radio receiver to offer a five-line display screen.
XM is transforming radio, an industry that has seen little technological change since FM, almost 40 years ago. XM's programming features 100 coast-to-coast digital channels: 71 music channels, more than 30 of them commercial-free, from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues; and 29 channels of sports, talk, children's and entertainment. For the first time on radio XM brings to the car the same diverse selection of news sources available in the home on cable and DIRECTV.
The Audiovox XM Xpress Radio and included accessories will arrive at retail stores in October 2005 for a suggested retail price of $99.99.www.audiovox.com
Audiovox is committed to the satellite radio hardware market, and to again partner with XM Satellite Radio for the debut of the new Audiovox XM Xpress Radio is testimony to that commitment," said Tom Malone, senior vice president of sales for Audiovox. "The Audiovox XM Xpress Radio offers brand new convenience features in a compact design, providing consumers with a sleek, functional device to access XM's amazing service."
The Audiovox XM Xpress Radio combines compact design and a five-line display screen with several other exciting features. The Xpress Tune knob allows the user to search XM's 150-plus channels of commercial-free music and premier sports, talk, news, and entertainment programming with just one knob. And the Xpress comes with a remote control so that other passengers can control the programming. The Xpress can be self-installed quickly and easily in the car or home.
The Xpress comes with additional accessories such as a deluxe vehicle kit, micro antenna, cassette adapter, and power adapter. The product has a built- in FM transmitter, which will wirelessly transmit XM Satellite Radio to any one of 100 FM radio frequencies.
In addition to a five-line display for the channel name, artist name, and song title on each XM channel, the XM Xpress has a customizable sports ticker, customizable stock ticker, and the TuneSelect and Artist Select features, which alert listeners when their favorite songs and artists are played on any XM channel.
"The Audiovox Xpress is an excellent combination of technological innovation and sleek design," said XM's Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Distribution Dan Murphy. "The feature-rich Xpress with its five-line display, sports and stock tickers, 100 channel FM transmitter, clock, alarm and sleep timer is an excellent option for consumers who want an XM receiver that is big on function but compact in size."
Additional Audiovox Xpress accessories sold separately will include additional vehicle kits, home stereo kits, portable rechargeable battery and headphone kit, and boomboxes.
