Jabra Expands Music Line With New Solemate Mini Portable Speaker

Striking New Colours and Enhanced Features Added to the Jabra Solemate

TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Today Jabra announced the expansion of the company's music line with a new ultra-portable version of the popular Jabra Solemate - the Jabra Solemate Mini. Compact in size but delivering surprisingly big sound, the Jabra Solemate Mini is a perfect travel companion, providing music for any setting whether at home or on the road, and will be available in red, yellow, blue or black. In addition, Jabra announced an enhanced version of the Jabra Solemate, including four striking new colours - red, blue, yellow and grey - enhanced Dolby® sound performance, instant pairing and offline streaming. The Jabra Solemate Mini and the new Jabra Solemate will be available at retail in Q4 2013.

Smaller than a soda can, the Jabra Solemate Mini delivers big sound in an ultra-portable sized unit. The secret lies in two powerful, front-facing speakers in an acoustically designed enclosure, providing optimal performance with super bass response. The sneaker-style speaker is hassle-free with several handy features, including:

• Durability - Durable enough to handle the scrapes and bumps of regular use with all-round rubber protection and resistance to sweat, dust and splashes
• Long Playback Time - With a battery life of up to 8 hours
• Easy Pairing - Using Bluetooth or NFC and wirelessly controlled from across the room
• Integrated Cable - In the sole of the speaker providing a choice between a wireless or wired connection
• Bold Primary Colours - Choose between red, yellow, blue or classic black to suit your individual style¹

The newly enhanced Jabra Solemate provides an enriched sound experience and usability, while adding fresh new colours. With super-fast Near Field Communication (NFC) pairing, users simply tap an NFC-enabled device to the Solemate and its' instantly connected! To disconnect, just tap them together again.

Another exciting addition to the Solemate is the Jabra Sound App with Dolby Digital Plus sound. Dolby Digital Plus delivers a sound space enhancer providing amazing extra depth and dimension to the sound emerging from the Solemate. In addition, the Jabra Sound App 2.0 allows streaming of YouTube music videos as well as existing on-device stored content while using the offline feature for playback - all in great-sounding Dolby Digital Plus stereo².

Jabra Solemate Mini will be available in Q4 for $99.00. The enhanced Jabra Solemate will retail for $159.95 and will be at retail outlets in Q4.
