Hercules Multimedia Speaker Collection

Hercules Unveils a New Autumn/Winter 2011 Multimedia Speaker Collection

 

Hercules enhances their XPS speaker line with a back to school collection of slim, curvy desktop speakers and a unique laptop attachable sound bar New York, NY – (August 18, 2011) – Hercules, the digital audio specialist, is pleased to unveil its brand-new Autumn/Winter 2011 collection of multimedia speakers. Now you can look forward to a return to school and work that's easier and more pleasant, by enjoying some great-sounding music. Five new models are being unveiled, all combining attractive design, quality sound and a price that won't hurt your wallet.

 

Hercules XPS 2.0 10 & 2.1 20 ARC WHITE: True Curve Appeal… Ushering in an entirely new design in the Hercules range, the XPS ARC WHITE speakers captivate users thanks to their streamlined and slightly "arched" shape. To perfectly complement every computer, Hercules has opted for a white lacquer finish on the back of the satellites, along with a black lacquer metal protective grille. Wideband speaker drivers, magnetic shielding, and wooden construction (the subwoofer of the XPS 2.1 20 ARC WHITE system): all of these elements combine to ensure well-balanced sound, allowing users to get the most out of their MP3s, DVDs or streaming videos. •    XPS 2.1 20 ARC WHITE - Composed of 2 satellite speakers, a subwoofer, a wired remote with volume control and a line input to connect an MP3 player or an additional audio source. It will be available in late August 2011, at a suggested retail price of $34.99. •    XPS 2.0 10 ARC WHITE - The 2.0 version of the system described above include a volume control, on/off button and line input located on the left satellite speaker. This model will also be available in late August 2011, at a suggested retail price of $29.99. Satellite dimensions: 9.3” x 2.5” x 2.5” Peak power: 16 W (XPS 2.1 20 ARC) and 5 W (XPS 2.0 10 ARC)

 

Hercules XPS Sound Bar USB: Clip on, listen, move... Hercules has created its first USB sound bar, specially designed to be attached to most laptop and ultraportable computer screens, accompanying you everywhere you go. With its slim shape, it remains discreet and harmonious. Its attachment clip adjusts to the screen's thickness, and doesn't cover up the computer's built-in webcam. Its stable base also allows it to be placed on a desk or table.

 

A truly "Plug and Play" system, XPS Sound Bar USB connects to the computer via a single USB cable which transmits both the audio signal and power supply. Its innovative design is based on 4 active neodymium drivers and one passive rectangular driver, delivering high-quality audio which is miles ahead of the usual sound provided by laptop and ultraportable computers. It couldn't be simpler to use: the volume level is controlled using the PC's keyboard. Finally, for easy transportation alongside your computer, its USB cable is removable, and it comes with an included pouch for the speaker. The Hercules XPS Sound Bar USB will be available in late August 2011, at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Dimensions: 9.8” x 2.2” x 1.37”. Peak power: 5 W

 

Hercules XPS 2.0 40 & 2.1 40 SLIM WHITE: Elegance and contrast These latest arrivals in the new Hercules collection are the white lacquer versions of two of the brand's best-sellers, the XPS SLIM models (previously available in a black lacquer finish only). Available in 2.1 and 2.0 versions, the contrast and elegance of these new systems enchants users. They combine listening pleasure with visual appeal: the pleasure of listening to music and enjoying quality audio when watching movies on your computer, providing very consistent and powerful sound (32 W RMS for the 2.1 version); while their visual appeal lies in their slim design and elegance, featuring a tasteful white lacquer finish on the satellites and subwoofer, subtle chrome highlights and a trendy taupe color on the front of the satellites. XPS 2.0 40 SLIM WHITE definitely remains the preferred choice for all users looking for a 2.0 system that takes up minimum space, and comes at a great price. For those in search of more power and stronger bass response, the XPS 2.1 40 SLIM WHITE is just what you've been looking for. XPS 2.0 40 and 2.1 40 SLIM WHITE will be available at the end of the summer, at suggested retail prices of $39.99 and $59.99. Satellite dimensions: 9.2” x 2.2” x 2.8” Power: 10 W (XPS 2.0 40 SLIM WHITE); 64 W / 32 W RMS (XPS 2.1 40 SLIM WHITE) Check out the entire Hercules XPS range at www.hercules.com

Urbanears 2011 Collection

 

What would life be like without color? Very boring, no doubt.  Which is why here at Urbanears, we’re on a mission to bring you headphones in an array of different colors. And with so many colors to choose from, we certainly have our hands full. With this in mind we are introducing three new colors to the 2011 Fall/Winter Urbanears collection—Mustard, Raspberry and Indigo. These new colors are available at your local retailer, and online at Urbanears.com. New Colors for Fall

The stuff that goes on hot dogs, Mustard comes in a variety of different shades and tastes. Urbanears’ Mustard has more in common with the kind found in Europe—with a slightly darker appearance—rather than the bright yellow mustard that is common in North America. We think it will be a delicious new addition to the Urbanears’ color family.

 

A berry-pink hue with blue and purple undertones, Raspberry is reminiscent of late-summer picnics, popsicles and the color your cheeks turn after you’ve been outside a little too long in the cold. It’s the kind of color that brings cheer to an otherwise cloudy day.

 

Named after the plant Indigofera, its dye is used to dye denim cloth—giving blue jeans their dark blue hue. Urbanears’ Indigo headphones remind us of a crisp new pair of jeans, just begging to be worn. We think it’s the perfect color for fall—or anytime for that matter.

 

NOW IT’S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE… To make room for our new friends we’ve had to say goodbye to some old favorites. They will be available while supplies last, so don’t wait to get your hands on them; they could be gone before you know it!

 

New Releases Shifting Paradigm

Thanks to different technologies and entertainment-related companies, the concept of “new releases” has lately been changing. Rather, we are just coming to expect movies to be released much faster. Once upon a time, it took roughly half of a calendar year for a movie to make its way from the cinema to store shelves; now, thanks to companies such as Netflix and Direct TV, a movie can go from the big screen to your home LED flat screen in a matter of just a couple of months. With this in mind, here is a brief look at some of this year’s most exciting movies, some of which are already available for home viewing and others of which will be coming to you shortly.

• Drive - Playing with a William Friedkin level of patient intensity and atmospheric style, Dutch director Nicolas Winding Refn creates his own 21st century dialectic of cinema. Part love story, part black comedy, and part crime thriller "Drive" is a film-lover's dream.

Hossein Amini's script of James Sallis's pulp novel provides Ryan Gosling with the kind of cool-blooded character actors would kill to portray. Known only as Driver, Gosling wears a trademark sliver racing jacket with a big gold scorpion embroidered on the back. Driver is a "five-minute" man. For the right price he will navigate L.A.'s "100,000 streets" as a getaway driver. Whatever happens before or after his five minute work schedule begins or ends is up to the client. One thing is certain; his escape will be clean. During the day Driver works as a mechanic when he isn't performing driving stunts in Hollywood movies. Driver's apartment building neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan) snaps him out of his laconic loner routine. Irene has a boy named Benicio whose dad's release from prison is coming up. Such unnecessary exposition is kept out of the way of the mostly silent chemistry that passes between the would-be lovers.

To give anymore of the plot away would be a sin. Suffice it to say Driver is a man of secrets. He lives by a strict code that only becomes apparent through his actions. Driver isn't telegraphing anything. Still, he does have a serious temper. "Drive" is an impossibly glamorous and gritty film filled with nooks and crannies bursting with action goodness. The moody techno soundtrack Cliff Martinez is the hippest thing around. Sexy, violent, and stylized like you can’t believe, “Drive” is a big-screen movie that oozes charisma and pops with brutality. Yum.

• Amigo – Ken Loach's spiritual American cousin John Sayles performs an act of cinematic due diligence in illustrating how little has changed since 1900 in the Western world's imperialist tactics toward smaller countries.

Building the film on his historically-based novel "A Moment in the Sun," Sayles digs into the realities of the turn-of-the-century Philippine-American war set on the politically significant island of Luzon. The peaceful existence of a rural village community (a.k.a "baryo") is upended in the blink of an eye when American soldiers overtake the agricultural area to create a garrison. The village's Catholic friar Padre Hidalgo (Yul Vazquez) is the first to side with the occupiers. The hypocritical priest identifies the benevolent Rafael (Joel Torre) as the "head" of the village. Rafael in turn introduces himself to the arrogant militia as "Amigo"--a term they liberally interchange with epithets such as goo-goo or monkey. Rafael's brother and son escape into the jungle to join a group of Filipino guerilla fighters strategizing about how best to liberate their country.

Sayles emphasizes the dilemma of ordinary people caught in an untenable situation. Except for Chris Cooper's contribution as an American general, there are no name actors to distract from the naturalistic realism of the narrative. Joel Torre personalizes Rafael as a unique everyman through whose eyes the audience witnesses the turmoil.

As with John Sayles's unforgettable film "Matewan," about West Virginia coal miners, "Amigo" is a cold glass of socio-political allegory exempt from pretension or exaggeration. It is also the most relevant war picture to come out of the post-9/11 era. Do yourself a favor, ignore Hollywood for a couple of hours and experience John Sayles's best film in recent years.

• Mozart's Sister – France's best-kept secret, writer/director René Féret, embellishes the journey of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's older sister Nannerl during their family's early efforts to impress the royal courts of Europe during the 18th century. The filmmaker's own daughter Marie Féret imbues her musically gifted character with an unmistakable erotic grace. With intricate attention to detail Féret lays out the milieu of the noble class in which the Mozart family intrudes like a band of remarkably disciplined gypsies. There is nothing glamorous about the family's touring through the bitter cold of snow-covered landscapes. Patriarch Leopold (Marc Barbe) has trained his 15-year-old daughter Nannerl to be a virtuoso violinist, harpsichordist, and singer. Scenes of effortless musical performances by Nannerl and Wolfgang (David Moreau) are utterly convincing. Aware of the culturally imposed limitations for women, the ambitious father turns his attention to train his prodigious ten-year-old son to compose music. He furthermore forbids Nannerl to play the violin for fear of her upstaging Wolfgang.

A daring feat by any measure, Féret's imagined account of Nannerl Mozart's early struggles sharply pivots on an invented romantic liaison she develops with the Dauphin (Clovis Fouin) to Louis XV. The opportune introduction comes at the behest of the Dauphin's forthright young sister Louise de France (wonderfully played by the director's other daughter Lisa Féret). The couple's attraction is complicated by the necessity for Nannerl to dress as a boy in order to approach the Dauphin, who is nonetheless won over by her phenomenal singing voice. "Mozart's Sister" fits easily into a category of meaningful bio-pictures about long-suffering French heroines of art that includes films like "Seraphine" and "Adele H." Marie Féret's magical eyes allow for a haunting performance that transcends time. Prepare to be swept away.

 

Elgato’s HDHomeRun® PRIME™

Elgato’s HDHomeRun® PRIME™ App for iPad 2 – Watch & Record Cable TV Wirelessly San Francisco, Calif. – August 19, 2011 – Elgato today announced that its HDHomeRun® PRIME™ App for iPad 2 is available on the App Store. The App works in conjunction with the Silicondust HDHomeRun PRIME line of CableCard™-enabled network tuners, and it enables users to stream and record live premium cable TV to iPad 2. Whether you want to watch the news in the kitchen while you make dinner, or the baseball game on the patio on a warm evening, or late night TV without disturbing anyone, the HDHomeRun PRIME App enables viewing and recording of live cable TV anywhere in your home’s Wi-Fi network. Elgato’s HDHomeRun App and Silicondust HDHomeRun PRIME together deliver premium television and DVR capabilities to iPad 2.

Couple this with the fact that you don’t need a computer to enable the streaming of live TV to iPad 2, and the constraints of archaic TV watching are a thing of the past.” “Elgato is an innovative leader for TV content control on Apple devices. Silicondust has collaborated for years with Elgato to ensure users the ability to control digital TV on their home network, using the HDHomeRun line of products,” said Theodore Head, Silicondust’s President / CEO. “This new app continues our vision of Freedom Across Your Home Network allowing you to Watch, Pause, Record Live Digital TV Anywhere in your home, and now from your iPad.” The HDHomeRun PRIME App is available for the introductory price of  $17.99 from the App Store on iPad 2 or at www.itunes.com/apps/hdhomerun.
