Just Add iPod: Logitech AudioStation a Powerful, Complete Home-Stereo System; Premium, Ultra-Stylish One-Piece System Includes AM/FM Radio, Touch-Sensitive Controls, Advanced Remote Control
FREMONT, Calif., Aug 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Logitech (SWX:LOGN)(NASDAQ:LOGI), an award-winning manufacturer of premium multimedia speakers, today unveiled its best-sounding, most powerful and most complete speaker system for the iPod(R): the Logitech(R) AudioStation(TM) high-performance stereo system for iPod. This premium stereo system transforms any room in the home into a digital-music concert hall -- delivering a full range of incredibly smooth, balanced audio, from floor-thumping bass to the precision high frequencies that bring music to life. Its relatively compact design (16-inches long, 4 1/4-inches deep, 7 1/4-inches tall) allows the AudioStation speaker system to sit elegantly atop an end table, book shelf or even a nightstand. And with the digital AM/FM tuner, the speakers can be a replacement for a traditional living-room stereo system as well as a perfect solution for an office or bedroom. The Logitech AudioStation speaker system features matching satellites with two drivers each that together offer a wide dynamic range of clear, powerful audio. The 1-inch, high-definition, soft-dome tweeters produce high frequencies with remarkable detail and clarity, and the 4-inch, high-power, long-throw woofers offer deep, powerful bass. Its bi-amplified acoustic design delivers unprecedented performance from a surprisingly svelte system. While its audio performance is impressive, the AudioStation system's design is equally notable. The elegant one-piece system has a black finish and removable cloth grille covers, accommodating any room's decor. There are no buttons or knobs on the system -- the controls on the front panel are all touch sensitive -- giving the speakers a seamless, smooth appearance. When powered on, small LEDs illuminate the touch-sensitive controls with a soft white glow. The buttons are used with the soft touch of a finger to turn the power on and off, adjust the volume up and down, select radio stations, and switch the input from the iPod to other audio sources. "With the AudioStation, we are redefining the premium iPod speaker category," said Jef Holove, vice president of product marketing for Logitech's audio business. "Nothing else delivers this level of full, balanced acoustic performance, the cuttingedge design, and the unanticipated extras -- like digital AM/FM radio and touch-sensitive controls. It's a sophisticated and complete stereo system for any room in the house." Above the control panel, the Logitech AudioStation speaker system has a large LCD that can show information such as radio station channels, the time, or an audio spectrum analyzer. The LCD also can display track information using Radio Data System (RDS) for FM stations that support RDS. For complete control, the AudioStation speakers system comes with an advanced remote that includes the same controls as those on the control panel, as well as a menu button, a sleep timer, and a switch to turn the system's 3D stereo mode on or off -- which widens the stereo sound stage, making the speakers sound farther apart than they actually are. Using the menu button, people can adjust bass and treble levels independently, change the display brightness, and choose whether or not the iPod backlight stays on while plugged into the AudioStation system. When the iPod is connected using the Universal Dock connector, the AudioStation speaker system can simultaneously play music from the iPod and recharge its batteries. The AudioStation also features a 3.5 mm input that connects to other MP3 players and other audio devices. Logitech's award-winning family of speakers for iPod and MP3 players also includes the mid-range Logitech(R) AudioStation Express(TM) portable speakers, also announced today; the award-winning Logitech(R) mm50 portable speakers for iPod; the stylish Logitech(R) mm32 portable speakers; and the ultra-compact Logitech(R) mm28 portable speakers. Pricing and Availability The Logitech AudioStation high-performance stereo system for iPod will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in
October. It will be available for a suggested retail price of $299.99 in the U.S. About Logitech Founded in 1981, Logitech designs, manufactures and markets personal peripherals that enable people to effectively work, play, and communicate in the digital world.

A Dream Come True: Logitech Introduces New Category of iPod Speakers - The iPod Bedroom Music System
Premium Audio, Innovative Motion-, Light-Sensing Technology, Radio, Alarm Make Logitech Pure-Fi Dream Perfect for the Bedroom
FREMONT, Calif., Aug 16, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI), a worldwide leader in iPod speakers, today announced the Logitech(R) Pure-Fi Dream (TM) Premium Bedroom Music System for iPod(R), establishing a new category of iPod speakers for the bedroom. With premium audio, an innovative application of motion- and light-sensing technology, a built-in digital AM/FM radio and a dual alarm with battery backup, the Pure-Fi Dream speakers are perfect for any nightstand. "Pure-Fi Dream is our most thoughtful and sophisticated design for iPod users," said Jef Holove, general manager and vice president of Logitech's audio business unit. "Though people use their iPods in the bedroom more than anywhere else, until today, a high-quality, iPod bedroom speaker system did not exist. First and foremost an impressive audio platform, the Pure-Fi Dream will make listening to iPod music in a bedroom a great experience any time of day. And at night, with its innovative lightand motion-sensing technology, as well as its alarm clock, the Pure-Fi Dream is the ideal bedroom system for iPod lovers." Unlike a clock radio, the Pure-Fi Dream is a premium bedroom audio system supported by 3/4-inch high-definition, soft-dome tweeters and 3-inch high-power, long-throw woofers. And by activating Logitech's StereoXL(TM) technology, people can enjoy a wider soundfield that creates a quality audio experience. But the Pure-Fi Dream offers more than just great audio. The Logitech Pure-Fi Dream speakers use the latest motion-sensing technology. For controlling the Pure-Fi Dream in a dark room, the motion-sensitive, backlighted control buttons automatically light up when a person waves a hand over the top of the speaker; the buttons automatically dim when the person has finished changing the speaker's settings. The backlighted buttons make it convenient to set the alarm clock without turning on the light or fumbling in the dark. The motion-sensing technology also extends to the Snooze function. Instead of hitting a button, one can simply wave a hand over the Pure-Fi Dream speakers to sleep for a few more minutes, eliminating the inconvenience of leaving the bed, inadvertently waking up a sleeping partner or accidentally knocking the iPod across the room. For those who prefer hitting the Snooze button with their hand, the Pure-Fi Dream also offers a prominently displayed tactile button located on the top of the system. In addition to offering motion-sensing technology, Logitech also incorporated light sensors into the display of the Pure-Fi Dream iPod speaker system. The light-sensitive, auto-adjusting display brightens during the day, making it easy to read from across a room. The amber lettering clearly displays the time and date, iPod track information, radio stations and volume settings. And in the evening, when the display automatically dims, the speaker still provides information people want to see including a one-of-a-kind LCD screen that provides track, song and artist information - without emitting unwanted ambient light. A premium accompaniment to any iPod, the Pure-Fi Dream speakers offer one-button access to iPod playlists and radio stations. There are 24 separate presets available - six iPod playlists, six AM radio stations and 12 FM radio stations. The speakers also offer dual alarms, providing two settings - one for each partner. The alarm can be set to go off to an iPod track or playlist, radio station, or buzzer. And with a built-in back-up battery, there is no need to worry about missing the alarm. For added convenience, with the included remote control, people can select their favorite iPod playlists, radio stations, control Volume, skip Forward and Back, Play, Pause, Shuffle or Repeat tracks, and Snooze the alarm from across the room. Like the speakers themselves, the remote control's backlighted buttons make nighttime navigation easy. Part of the "Made for iPod" program, the Pure-Fi Dream speakers present an attractive piano-black finish and minimalist design that complements the iPod aesthetic. When an iPod is docked in the system, the speaker charges the iPod.

To meet the diversity of iPod owners' needs, Logitech also offers a family of speakers for iPod and MP3 players that includes the Logitech(R) Pure-Fi Anywhere(TM) Compact Speakers for iPod(R) (also announced today), the high-end Logitech(R) AudioStation(TM) speaker system, the lightweight Logitech(R) AudioStation(TM) Express portable speakers, the stylish Logitech(R) mm32 Portable Speakers for iPod and the flat-panel Logitech(R) mm28 Portable Speakers. Pricing and Availability The Logitech Pure-Fi Dream is expected to be available in the U.S. beginning in November. The suggested retail price in the U.S. is $249.99.
