“Korus will transform the iOS entertainment ecosystem with its truly unique and premium approach to wireless audio by enabling BIG sound, TRUE high fidelity experiences for playback of iTunes, iMovies and iGames,” said Brett Faulk, Executive Director, Strategic Products – Korus product division, Core Brands. “The highly disruptive nature of the Korus speaker system comes from an unparalleled ease-of-use, a more stable and reliable wireless audio connection without pops, drops and lag, and the flexibility to stream audio from a single device to one or as many as four speakers placed in one or more rooms.” Faulk added that the Korus line will be expanded in 2014, incorporating at least one new model, and enabling additional capabilities for videos and games.
Korus is designed to blend a superior wireless audio signal with a state-of-the-art acoustic architecture, resulting in a premium audio experience. Leading technology analyst Patrick Moorhead, of Moor Insights & Strategy, said, “It’s a great wireless speaker system that advances wireless speakers forward supporting all the devices and media content—music, video and games—people use every day.”
Korus wireless speakers are engineered with LiveStage™, a proprietary acoustic platform that enables a wider, multi-dimensional sound platform. It projects the vocals up front and other instruments like guitars and drums behind, to create distance between music elements. The resulting audio experience feels immersive and expansive, as if you are listening to a live performance.
