IC INTRACOM Introduces Personal Cinema Surround Sound Headset (21/1/2005)

Eight Speakers Deliver Rich Digital Audio without Distortion

IC INTRACOM is introducing the MANHATTAN Personal Cinema 5.1, a headset developed to enhance the experience of video conferencing, playing games and watching DVDs on computers by delivering rich, full Dolby Digital AC-3 or DTS 5.1 surround sound with no distortion, even at high volumes.

The new Personal Cinema headset features eight speakers, plus a vibration mode that accents the performance of its two subwoofers. Built-in DTS decoding eliminates the need for separate sound cards and outputs for each channel, making the headset ideal for mobile computing. A detachable microphone is included for interactive games and video conferencing.

"Once again, MANHATTAN emerges as the performance leader, this time with an innovative audio product," said IC INTRACOM Director of Global Marketing Ben Zupan. "Now our resellers will be able to offer one of the best sounding computer headsets available anywhere."

The Personal Cinema headset comes bundled with WinDVD 5 and InterVideo WinRip 2 for DVD and audio playback. A USB 5.1 external sound card, CD containing drivers and control panel applications, neck strap and USB cable are also included in the package. The MANHATTAN Personal Cinema Surround Sound Headset (Model 173735) will be available in February 2005 at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $149.00 (US).
