Harman Kardon Go + Play Portable Loudspeaker for iPod- Press Release

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2006--Harman Kardon, a leading provider of high performance audio products, is proud to introduce the addition of two new products, the Harman Kardon Go + Play portable iPod(R) sound station and the HK 700 Series in-ear noise-isolating earphones to its audio line-up. The Harman Kardon Go + Play provides a high-end, transportable audio solution and is equipped with an RF remote for total iPod control. It allows an iPod to be safely and securely cradled in a flat position on a stunning soundstage for the ultimate listening experience at home, at the park or on the road.

Harman Kardon Go + Play provide the consumer with the perfect dock for cradling an iPod in Harman Kardon luxury. The unit's unique design allows the iPod to lie flat, keeping it safe and secure. The Harman Kardon Go + Play features a stylish stainless-steel handle, touch volume and mute controls, and an RF remote. The remote effortlessly controls volume, track selection and iPod menu controls at a range of up to 30 feet, even through walls, making it the ultimate portable sound system.

Harman Kardon Go + Play's elegant design matches the convenience of portability with astonishing Harman Kardon sound. Combining bi-amped digital amplification, DSP (digital sound processing) and Ridge and Atlas transducers, Harman Kardon Go + Play produces powerful bass and amazing, clean treble that must be heard to be believed. Eight D batteries allow the user to bring the Harman Kardon Go + Play virtually anywhere, and to enjoy favorite tunes for up to 18 hours of continuous playback. For those times consumers are away from the system, the Harman Kardon Go + Play has a battery-saving shut-off feature. Alternatively, AC power grants the user the opportunity to have a high performance sound system at their desk, night stand or countertop. For ultra versatility, the Harman Kardon Go + Play provides an S-video connection, allowing users to connect to a TV or monitor to watch podcasts from an iPod.

The HK 700 Series noise isolating earphones bring the sound experience to the next level, providing brilliant sound for personal use. The HK EP 710, EP 720 and EP 730 take the comfort of in-ear earphones and incorporate the amazing sound that has come to be expected from Harman Kardon products. Noise canceling occurs naturally with the HK 700 earphones, which were designed to seal comfortably in the ear canal. Users may select from either the included 3-flange eartips or foam inserts for an ideal fit. Because the earphones isolate noise from 30dB (EP 710) to 40dB (EP 730), consumers won't have to worry about distractions from outside noise. The HK 700 Series isolating earphones transport the user to his or her own personal concert, delivering clean, precise sound with enhanced bass. All three models are offered in black or white and will connect to an iPod, MP3 player or other portable music source.

"The Harman Kardon Go + Play delivers an elegant portable sound system with superior sound quality," said Fred Faulkner, Harman Multimedia's vice president of sales and marketing. "The HK 700 Series earphones produce the highest quality sound in the most comfortable earphone design we have seen to date."
