XBOOM Go is the first wireless speaker to support aptX HD from Qualcomm for superb lossless 24bit/576kbps hi-res streaming Thanks to its included Bluetooth technology and features multicolour lighting as well as “Grab-N-Go and X-grip handles”.
“By expanding our XBOOM brand to include wireless and smart speakers, LG is opening up new possibilities with XBOOM leading our entire home audio business,” said Seo Young-jae, head of the convergence audio and video business division at LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “With Meridian as our audio technology partner, we are confident XBOOM will success in Europe as it has in other regions around the world.”
“The XBOOM mini component (model CK99) and all-in-one (model OK99) offer a massive 1,800 watts and topping off at 5,000 watts. The Pro DJ Wheel allows anyone to become a DJ with creative mixing and scratching functions and fun lighting effects. Karaoke fans can eliminate the vocal track from almost any song adjust the pitch with Voice Canceller and Key Changer while the Grab & Move handle and casters of the LG OK99 takes the definition of “portable audio system” to a whole new level.
LG XBOOM AI ThinQ speakers consist of model WK7 and model WK9 and feature the Google Assistant to help get things done with just a voice. Unlike other AI speakers, the quality of the sound from LG XBOOM AI ThinQ isn’t just an afterthought. LG’s partnership with Meridian brings the full potential of the two companies’ audio expertise, delivering high-fidelity sound, precise vocal definition and accurate bass. And the lossless High Resolution Audio in the LG XBOOM AI ThinQ can faithfully reproduce sounds recorded in the studio. LG collaborated with Google to integrate the Google Assistant directly into the product as a home hub, allowing the WK7 and WK9 to control Google Assistant-compatible smart home devices along with LG home appliances compatible with LG ThinQ. The XBOOM AI ThinQ WK7 speaker, currently launching in key markets, will soon be joined later this year by the WK9 with its 8-inch Smart Display for a richer interactive experience.”
