Orbitsound's new products sound good to UK media
The sun was shining on British audio technology brand Orbitsound yesterday when their brand new range of home entertainment products – including the T12v2 sound bar and T4 Radiopod – was launched. At a glittering event in the Mayfair Hotel’s penthouse suite, they proved to journalists and industry leaders that these products could change the way we listen to music at home or on the move.
The response was fantastic. Macworld and Electric Pig kicked off the press coverage, with Gizmodo following shortly afterwards – their reviewer had tested Orbitsound’s unique spatial stereo technology on some Fleetwood Mac tracks (we love it) and found that ‘it sounded just as good in the various points of the room I tried, with great bass levels’:

Writing for the Guardian online, Richard Wray commented that the new range is ‘likely to have audiophiles drooling’:

And the Reuters crew took time out to interview Orbitsound founder Ted Fletcher, as well as taking a look at the whole range. You can see from their report that it wasn’t just journalists who were taken with the T3 portable speaker – the product was hitting all the right notes for testers on the street, too:

Finally, music from 6 Day Riot and Talvin Singh marked the close of a long (but very successful) day.
