PlayDock MP3Cambridge SoundWorks has introduced the next-generation boom box -- PlayDock MP3, a powerful, transportable speaker system that lets users of select MP3 players bring full amplified sound to any location.

PlayDock MP3 - Powerful Portable One-Piece Speaker System That Turns Zen Micro and Other MP3 Players into a High-Fidelity Boom Box

PlayDock MP3's Audio Playback Can Fill an Entire Backyard with Deep, Rich Sound

With its compact, transportable design, PlayDock MP3 features a convenient dock for select MP3 players, including the Creative Zen Micro, Apple iPod or iPod mini, and Dell DJ and Pocket DJ.

And because PlayDock MP3 features an extended life rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge, it can be used cord-free anywhere for sharing music with family and friends. PlayDock MP3 is available (for US$199.99) at Cambridge SoundWorks retail locations and at http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/.

"PlayDock is known for delivering rich, high fidelity audio with amazing power for a transportable speaker system, and surprisingly rivals the audio quality of a home stereo," said Rob Mainiero, vice president and general manager of Cambridge SoundWorks. "With this much power, you wouldn't expect it to be transportable, but PlayDock MP3 is easy to take wherever you go. It's the most versatile, best-sounding, transportable speaker system available."

Using Cambridge SoundWorks' signature three-driver amplified speaker design, PlayDock MP3 delivers rich, full-bodied sound normally associated with larger stereo systems. Packing a central bass speaker between full range speakers for each stereo channel, PlayDock MP3 delivers the widest frequency of a portable its size. It features excellent mid-bass, a wide, rich bass response, and full, warm sound output without distortion -- with equal proficiency from classical woodwinds to heavy metal blasts. A special stereo- enhancement "wide" function increases the stereo panorama, making PlayDock MP3 ideal for outdoor play.

PlayDock MP3 is so simple and easy to use. Just plug in your Zen Micro or other MP3 player and press the play button. PlayDock MP3 charges select players while they are docked, so they are always charged and ready to go. PlayDock MP3's rechargeable battery offers up to 10 hours of cord-free music. The unit also features a convenient carry handle so it can be easily transported.
