Radica launches NXT speaker accessory for Game Boy Advance
Radica UK Ltd, the manufacturer of peripherals under the highly
rated Gamester brand, is to launch an NXT based compact speaker
system, the 'MINI WOOFER' for use with the Game Boy Advance
The MINI WOOFER was developed by Radica UK in conjunction with
NXT's engineering teams in the UK and Hong Kong. Stylish and simple
to use, it easily attaches to the Game Boy Advance and by using
NXT's SurfaceSound™ technology, is able to create a unique audio
experience from a flat speaker panel.
This latest accessory is expected to prove a hit with gaming enthusiasts
when it becomes available next month (October) from leading high
street retailers including Comet, Argos, John Lewis and Game.
John Doughty managing director of Radica U.K. Ltd. commented "We
are extremely excited to be bringing NXT Technology to the VGA Market.
It truly enhances the audio capabilities of the Game Boy Advance,
and re-affirms Radica's commitment to bringing high quality innovation,
combined with leading edge technology, to real gamers. Partnering
with NXT has opened up a number of new areas of opportunity for
ourselves, and our retail partners. Something that as we move into
2003 will become increasingly important within a marketplace currently
saturated with third party 'me too' operators, reliant on companies
like ourselves and first parties, to bring truly original and innovative
products to consumers."
NXT technology offers both acoustic advantages over traditional
technology associated with its broader dispersion characteristics
and design freedoms as an NXT speaker can be better integrated into
products such as the Game Boy Advance because of shallow depth requirements.
The MINI WOOFER will be available in October at an SRP of £12.99
