Pioneering Music Mobility with a Green Conscience:

A complete upgrade of the first solar powered Bluetooth Stereo Speakers worldwide.

The new and improved Solar Sound 2 portable speakers launches today, thanks to leading independent consumer technology company, Devotec Industries.

Devotec has worked hard to build upon the success of the original Solar Sound, a compact, portable stereo speaker system, that can play music wirelessly via bluetooth while charging its battery from the integrated solar panel.

The new Solar Sound 2 has been re-designed from the ground up, primarily to offer even better sound quality, with a louder maximum volume and less distortion at higher volume levels. Sound quality has been improved by the use of specialty woven speaker cones, silver plated oxygen free copper speaker cabling and a more efficient power circuit to get even more juice to the amp and speakers. This sets the Solar Sound 2 apart not only from laptop and Mp3 speakers, but also from the low response of traditional portable stereo speakers.

Flexibility is key, and the Solar Sound 2 now has an integrated line-out function, as well as its super simple set up procedure that can have people streaming music from their phones in seconds. Playing music from a traditional headphone/3.5mm jack is even better now, as all connectors on the unit itself and the included external cabling are gold plated, leading to enhanced music playback when using the cable option.

With the larger integrated battery, playing time should be a healthy 5-10hours dependent on volume. But the best part is that with the embedded solar panel and efficient charging system, the unit can play continuously when in the sun, even if the battery hasn't got any charge.

Compatibility works like a charm, as the Solar Sound 2 works with almost every model of phone that has bluetooth and the A2DP profile; iPhones, Nokias, blackberries and more.

Designed with travel in mind, it boasts a compact size (16.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm), light weight (280g/0.5lbs) and a 3.5mm retractable cable for added connectivity; an AC-DC plug and charging cable. Furthermore, the units sleek design offers additional features such as modern touch screen remote controls, including forward, rewind and volume, in addition to a built in microphone allowing it to be used for hands free communication when driving.

Alex Devoto, Devotec Industries founder and CEO, said: "We really listened to what reviewers and customers had to say about the original Solar Sound. We took that advice (special thanks to John R and Steve J for their emails) and went back to the design stage trying to take all the things people had loved about the Solar Sound, but adding the extra features users asked for, as well as using even higher quality components that have become available since the Solar Sound design stage." Devoto continued: "We strive to stay one step ahead of the marketplace. We are engineers at heart and keep our eye on consumer trends to design products best set to meet the lifestyles of our customers." He finished: "With the majority of people storing their music on either their phone or iPod, the Solar Sound 2 responds to consumer demand for higher quality sound from portable music devices and laptops, and steps away from the "tinny" noise associated with direct laptop and phone speakers."

The unit, including a stylish protective case, is available from www.devotecindustries.com/solar-sound from today. Devotec Industries has ensured it continues to deliver quality and value with the Solar Sound 2 available at $99.99/£69.99, underpinning all current market offerings.

The Solar Sound 2 will become the must have travel accessory this summer.
