(SINGAPORE,
5 May 2017) – Sony Electronics announced today that it will further
expand the EXTRA BASS™ series to
include four new portable wireless speakers designed to enable users to enjoy
the intensity of deep bass notes in a variety of locations and scenarios. Made
for today’s heavy-hitting bass lines and dropping beats, EXTRA BASS™ technology
delivers powerful, clear bass sound where it’s hard to find – in a compact, portable
speaker. The result is a full, deep, resonating sound with synchronised
flashing lights that’s perfect for a night of EDM, hip-hop or your favourite
music genre. All speakers feature easy, one-touch connectivity and music
streaming with NFC and Bluetooth® compatibility so you can bring your party
anywhere.

SRS-XB40

Thanks
to the compact size and long battery life of these speakers, they can be easily
picked up and moved to where the action is. The perfect combination of style
and portability, this newly expanded EXTRA BASS™ wireless speaker series looks
and sounds great wherever you put them, indoors or out. Take them to a pool
party with peace of mind, knowing that the IPX5[1] rated
water-resistant design will protect them against splashes.

SRS-XB40

Speakers
like the SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30 and the SRS-XB10 all feature a flexible two-way
design which gives you great sound, wherever you place the system. Set it up
horizontally, or flip it upright if you’re short on space.

SRS-XB30

The
SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30, and SRS-XB20 Wireless Speakers – A Portable Party

The SRS-XB40 features
club-like lighting effects with an LED perimeter line-light, a strobe flash and
speaker light. The line-light creates multicolor patterns, ranging from pure
white to rainbow. Synchronising with the rhythm of the beat, the power and
speed of the light display matches the music’s mood and atmosphere. The SRS-XB30 has a
similar multicolour line-light and strobe, and the SRS-XB20 features a
single colour line-light which compliments the speaker colour.

Wireless
party chain featuring the SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB20

Using
the wireless party chain, speakers can be connected to each other to enable
users to enjoy a performance featuring synchronised lights and great sound. Up
to 10 units can be interconnected via Bluetooth® (mix and match
the SRS-XB40/XB30/XB20 models) and used interactively. It is also possible to
pair two speakers of the same model together to enjoy stereo sound. Stereo mode
takes advantage of two independent audio channels in order to create the
impression of sound being heard from various directions, similar to natural
hearing.

The
Fiestable app with the SRS-XB40

Have
fun with your party settings from the dance floor with the Sony | Music Center
app for your smartphone. The Fiestable app, for the SRS-XB40 only, enables even
greater functionality with DJ-like controls for lighting and motion.

Other
great features include Voice Guidance which announces important to know
information, such as the battery life level of the device. These models also
allow multi-device connectivity, meaning that more than one smartphone can be
connected at the same time, enabling user to quickly switch between music
sources. With the SRS-XB40 and SRS-XB30, it is also possible to recharge a
smartphone by connecting it to the USB-A port on these devices via a USB cable which
enables the speaker to be used like a portable battery when the user’s
smartphone battery is running low on power. Plus, all four models can be used
as speakerphones when paired with your smartphone.

SRS-XB20

SRS-XB10
Wireless Speaker – A Very Portable Party

For
those really on the go, the SRS-XB10 offers
EXTRA BASS™ sound, incredible loudness and punchy bass with a tiny body. Thanks
to a long battery life of up to approximately 16 hours, it is possible to keep
the party going all night long and well into the next day.

SRS-XB10

Take
advantage of its super-compact size and portability and enjoy the music
anywhere. Two listening styles can optimise the user’s experience. In vertical
mode, the omni-directional sound can be enjoyed by a group of friends. In
horizontal mode, the music is directed straight to the listeners’ ears. The
silicon strap becomes a stand for the tiny speaker to help direct the sound. The
same strap can also be used to attach the speaker to a backpack or just about
anywhere, so that great tunes are always in reach. And like the XB40, XB30, and
XB20, the new XB10 features a water-resistant IPX5 design that will give you
peace of mind when the party is poolside.

The
sound from the SRS-XB10 can be directed using its silicon strap

The
XB10 can also be paired with another of its kind, to provide stereo mode, which
creates a broader sound space and the impression of hearing music from various
directions.

The
SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30, SRS-XB20 and SRS-XB10 wireless speakers will be available
at all Sony Stores, Sony Centres and selected Sony authorised dealers from May
2017. The SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30, SRS-XB20 and SRS-XB10 wireless speakers will be
available at a recommended retail price of S$329, S$269, S$169 and S$79.
