Tiny Amplifier Delivers 3-D Surround Sound to iPods and other players
Filed in archive Sound Makers by tiago on October 5, 2005
UpBeat Audio's new Boostaroo Revolution lets on-the-go audiophiles
listen to digital music and movies in 3-D surround sound when plugged
into their personal audio players.
At six ounces, and the size of a disposable lighter, the Revolution is the market's smallest portable amplifier
and two-way splitter. It:
- Drives two sets of high-end headphones (greater than 60 ohms), or mini-speakers, to share tunes or movies
- Quadruples the volume
- Demultiplexes compressed digital music files and images stereo into high-definition 3-channel surround sound...so listeners experience the full field of sound
The $79.95 Boostaroo Revolution powers portable players that have a
headphone jack, such as:
- iPods, including the new Nano*, and other MP3 players
- DVD, CD and satellite radio players
- Laptops
- Pocket PCs
- Handheld video games such as the Sony PSP, Game Boy or Nintendo DS
- Motorcycle intercom gear
Read the Press-Release and check more photos of the Boostaroo Revolution with other players.

It is available immediately from http://www.boostaroo.com and begins
hitting the shelves later this month at Dr. Bott, ThinkGeek.com,
effiliate.com, Airport Wireless, In Motion, AltiTunes, and Hedonics in
Canada. UpBeat Audio's website will announce new retailers as they are
added.
