Wirelessly broadcasts calls, GPS and music from mobile devices – all hands free!
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 13 October, 2010 – Plantronics® (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its family of Bluetooth® products with the new K100™ Bluetooth in-car speakerphone. The Plantronics K100 is the perfect practical Christmas present for friends and family who like to stay connected while travelling, offering a combination of advanced audio technology, ease-of-use and enhanced features for convenient, hands-free conversations in the car.
Audio Performance
The Plantronics K100 includes dual microphones and digital signal processing (DSP) technology that keeps the user’s voice sharp and clear, while limiting surrounding noise. Echo-cancellation improves listening on both sides of the call, while a high-quality speaker ensures every call is heard clearly. The Plantronics K100 also includes A2DP technology so users can stream music, podcasts, GPS navigation and more from A2DP-enabled phones, such as the iPhone®, BlackBerry® Torch™ and DROID™ by Motorola.
Convenience while Driving
The Plantronics K100 is easy to setup and use, and features convenient voice alerts for pairing, low-battery, mute, and connection status. A dedicated one-touch mute button with voice confirmation provides confidence that the feature is engaged. Large buttons let you control the K100 while keeping your eyes on the road, and an included handy in-car micro USB charger means the speakerphone never has to leave the car.
“The K100 is the perfect in-car solution for users to take calls, listen to GPS navigation and be productive, while keeping both hands on the wheel,” said Peter Petrides, National Retail Sales Manager for Plantronics in Australia. “The K100 is also a great Christmas present for friends or family, it will help them stay in touch and stay safe when they’re driving. We think consumers will be delighted by the K100 speakerphone’s great audio performance, simplicity and affordability.”
