LAS VEGAS--(LadyDragon.com)08/01/11--Logitech Expands Audio Family
with Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter for Intel WiDi
Enabled Laptops. “Intel’s WiDi technology is
quickly proliferating in the marketplace,” said Mark
Schneider, vice president and general manager Logitech’s
audio business unit. “Now thanks to Intel WiDi and
the Logitech Wireless Adapter for Intel WiDi-enabled
laptops, it’s easy to turn up the volume while you’re
listening to Pandora® or watching a YouTube® video. And
you can do it with the speaker system you already own.”
The Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter uses WiDi wireless
connectivity to stream audio from your Intel WiDi-enabled
laptop to your favorite speakers. You’ll enjoy
better sound quality than you can get from built-in
laptop speakers. And your laptop stays portable, so you
have the freedom to move around with it.
“With Logitech as a worldwide leader in PC speakers,
we’re excited they are bringing an audio adapter for
Intel WiDi-enabled devices to market,” said Kerry
Forell, Intel Product Line Manager for Intel WiDi. “Intel
WiDi is built into more than 50 laptop models from more
than 12 leading PC OEMs today, and we expect additional
momentum with our 2nd Generation Intel® Core™
processor-based laptops, as well as the expansion into
the Intel® Atom™ processor-based netbook market in
2011. The Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter for Intel
WiDi-enabled laptops presents a tremendous opportunity
for Intel to help customers extend the PC audio
experience to a higher-fidelity home speaker system.”
Intel Wireless Display software is easy to set up and
use. Simply plug the Logitech adapter into your speakers
using the included standard analog RCA or 3.5 mm jacks,
launch the Intel® WiDi software on your laptop, push
“Connect” on your laptop and adapter, and your
Intel WiDi-enabled laptop will automatically pair with
your speakers.
Wireless Speaker Adapter for Bluetooth Audio Devices
Logitech also unveiled a wireless sound system for your
smartphone or tablet with the introduction of the
Logitech® Wireless Speaker Adapter for Bluetooth® audio
devices. To stream music or other audio from your
smartphone or tablet to your favorite speakers, the new
Wireless Speaker Adapter for Bluetooth audio devices uses
Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Bluetooth software makes
it easy to set up and use. And you can attach your
speakers using the included standard analog RCA or 3.5 mm
jacks.
Both new Logitech wireless speaker adapters are small
enough to be discreetly hidden away in your living room,
bedroom or kitchen.

The Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter for Intel
WiDi-enabled laptops and the Logitech Wireless Speaker
Adapter for Bluetooth audio devices are expected to be
