Korus Unveils The M20—The First Ultra High Fidelity Mobile Wireless Speaker That Expands To A Four-Speaker Audio System
Redefining mobile audio, the M20 is brilliantly simple with WideStage™ Acoustics; Bluetooth compatible for maximum versatility; SKAA™ enabled for an extended range, no-lag, multi-speaker audio experience
Petaluma, CA—(June 19, 2014)—When it comes to ease of use, powerful sound, flexibility and wireless range, it’s nearly impossible to beat the new compact portable Korus® M20 mobile wireless speaker, the latest innovation in the Korus wireless speaker system lineup announced today by Core Brands. The easy-to-use Korus M20 offers BIG, high quality sound on-the-go for music, videos and games from your iPad®, iPhone®, iPod touch®, Android™ device, Mac® or PC. The M20 is brilliantly simple to set up, allowing you to instantly connect and play your music anywhere, with no Wi-Fi network configuration required.
Weighing in at only 1.2 pounds and small enough to fit easily into your bag or backpack, the new SKAA-enabled Korus M20 delivers crystal clear sound along with the greatest range of any wireless speaker on the market (up to 85 feet indoors and 175 feet outdoors). To further enhance the sound quality, Korus is designed with a unique WideStage™ acoustic signature that projects a multi-dimensional sound platform with the vocals up front and other instruments placed behind to create a subtle perceived distance between musical elements. Such depth and breadth offers a richer, more dynamic audio experience that feels immersive and expansive, as if at a live performance.
The Korus M20 is perfect as a personal and mobile speaker, but can easily be combined with other M20’s or Korus V-Series premium speakers (V600 & V400) for a wireless system of up to four speakers, making it the first mobile speaker perfect for at-home or on-the-go. The multi-speaker audio system expansion can be configured in many ways. For instance, if you and your friend each have an M20, you can play them together for powerful sound. If you already have a Korus V600 premium speaker in your living room, you can put the M20 on the kitchen counter and sync them up for a multi-room audio system.
The M20 is built for people on-the-go, with a rubber finish that provides extra grip and scratch resistance. The speaker is water resistant and features a built-in carabineer clip for added flexibility to carry or hang the Korus M20 to your backpack, golf bag or almost anywhere.
The M20 is both SKAA and Bluetooth v2.1 and A2DP compliant for universal connectivity to nearly any mobile device. It comes equipped with a built-in microphone for hands-free speaker phone calls, perfect for business meetings or group phone calls. A built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery allows you and your friends to DJ for up to 17 hours of continuous play.
“We designed the M20 for people who want it all – outstanding sound quality with no-lag performance for music, videos and games, mobile friendly design, and the flexibility to create a multi-speaker system for one or more rooms,” said Brett Faulk, Executive Director of Strategic Products, Core Brands, LLC. “The Korus M20 is THE first mobile speaker that bridges today’s Bluetooth wireless with next generation SKAA wireless audio, for people who need more from a personal speaker than what is currently on the market.”
Perfect for kids and adults, party goers or even the executive road-warrior, the M20 is the compact portable speaker of choice for playback of all mobile media. The Korus M20 provides reliable ultra high fidelity, powerful sound to enhance the party experience, whether it is at home, the university dorm, the pool, the beach, camping or anywhere. If you enjoy watching movies or videos on your mobile devices or computer, the M20 lets you stream audio in perfect sync with the on-screen action, adding the highest quality of sound to your experience.
The Korus M20 will be demonstrated at CE WEEK at Core Brands booth #6, Metropolitan Pavilion, New York City, June 25-26th. The new mobile speaker will also be on display for the press on June 19th at Digital Experience in NYC.
Korus is planned for fall delivery at $199. The M20 comes bundled with a USB Baton (SKAA wireless audio transmitter) for your Mac or PC with additional offers for an Android (micro USB or iOS (30-pin or Lightning) Baton to connect to your smartphone or tablet. Included is a carrying case and USB power adapter with cable.
