Dual Introduces "illumiNITEs" -- New Mobile Speaker Line

Dual announced a new slate of mobile entertainment speakers featuring its acclaimed illumiNITE technology.

The new selection, which includes three three-way models and four bandpass subwoofers, is highlighted by the way in which illumiNITE, a proprietary technology, produces a stunning exhibition of illumination, creating a liquid blue glow around the grille, cone and surround. Unlike neon, illumiNITE is directional, so it can be focused at a fixed point.

Scheduled to ship in late Q1 2005 three new three-way models are easy add-ons for existing sound systems, elevating them to a new level of sonic excellence usually not associated with the price point. The XNP693 6" x 9" model (SRP: $99.99), features a frequency response of 59 – 22kHz, 5 – 70 Watts RMS, and 150 Watts IPP. The 6.5" XNP653 (SRP: $79.99) features a frequency response of 70 – 22kHz, 2 – 60 Watts RMS, and 140 Watts IPP. The 5.25" coaxial XNP553 (SRP: $59.99) features a frequency response of 90 – 22kHz, 2 – 50 Watts RMS, and 135 Watts IPP. All three models boast transparent sonics and wide soundfield that accurately communicates the depth and detail of well-recorded music.

Bright Light, Big Bass
In addition to their stunning blue illumiNITE glow, four new bandpass subwoofer system (two dual, two single) fill a car or truck with rich, tight bass that is deep but never distorted or "boomy."

The new additions to Dual’s bandpass lineup include single and dual 10" models (XNBP10S and XNBP10D; $119.99 and $199.99, respectively), and 12" models (XNBP12S and XNBP12D; $159.99 and $249.99, respectively).

The XNBP10S features a frequency response of 30 – 180 Hz; XNBP10D features a frequency response of 28 – 200 Hz; XNBP12S’s frequency response is 26 - 180 Hz; and the XNBP12D features a frequency response of 24 – 200 Hz.
