At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, Monster has launchedits new US$99 iCarPlay 250 wireless FM transmitter that allows music lovers to transmit music wirelessly via their iPod through any FM radio station.
The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 lets anyone enjoy their MP3 music on their car’s FM stereo system while simultaneously charging their iPod. It employs a variety of breakthrough technologies to achieve a new level of performance and convenience in wireless iPod transmission, according to Head Monster Noel Lee.
“With other wireless transmitters, you need to hunt for an FM channel that’s clear enough to tune into,” he says. “The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 features new Monster AutoScan 3D technology that automatically scans the entire FM spectrum three times to lock onto the clearest FM frequency available. This ensures better signal transmission than other wireless transmitters that scan only once. In addition, the iCarPlay Wireless 250 outputs a line-level audio signal for full-range dynamic sound with minimal distortion for an incredible listening experience that many FM transmitters simply can’t match. New advanced digital technologies automatically adjust power output on individual frequencies for maximum signal strength.”
The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 features a detachable USB cable; the USB port on the cigarette lighter plug can charge other USB 2.0 devices with the appropriate cable such as cell phones, cameras, etc. The iCarPlay Wireless 250 can also be used in the home or office, powered by any standard USB 2.0 power source.
