The Recepter Radio HD is one of the first HD home radios to become available.
A high-performance digital AM/FM table model, it delivers high-fidelity sound
comparable to the finest radios ever made. It broadens Boston Acoustics'
enormously popular Recepter Radio family, and features the dynamic HD Radio
technology developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation. It also brings The
Boston Sound(TM), long acclaimed for its accuracy, to a new audience of
consumers.
"The introduction of this leading-edge, technology-driven, integrated audio
solution reflects Boston's history of engineering excellence, and signifies its
continuing and future innovation," said Moses Gabbay, Boston Acoustics
President and CEO. "The Recepter Radio HD also reflects our concerted efforts
to pursue new market and technology driven opportunities, ensuring our product
leadership as the preferred audio solutions for the Custom Installation,
Integrated Systems, Aftermarket Car, Home and OEM markets."
Robert Struble, iBiquity Digital's president and CEO, concurs on the
significance of the new Recepter's introduction. "With Boston Acoustics' new
Recepter, consumers will have their first opportunity to experience the many
benefits of HD Radio technology in the home and at work," said Mr. Struble.
"Consumers with HD Radio receivers will be able to hear many of their favorite
AM and FM stations in digital quality sound, and gain instant access to
information, such as song and artist info, weather forecasts, school closings,
local traffic conditions, and more."
The HD Radio Promise ...
The Recepter Radio HD embodies the bright promise of HD Radio technology, which
radically upgrades sound quality while providing new wireless data services by
allowing digital broadcasts to be transmitted over existing AM/FM radio bands.
HD Radio technology benefits listeners by generating audio quality similar to
that of Compact Discs; enhancing sound fidelity and reception; delivering new
features and information services, like song, sports and weather data; and by
eliminating static, hiss, pops and fades. A seamless conversion process lets
broadcasters maintain the current dial positions of existing stations.
Listeners also benefit by the growing support of the nation's major AM and FM
broadcasters, which have recently reinforced their commitment to digital
broadcasting. Building on the base of stations already broadcasting with HD
Radio technology, many radio groups have aggressive plans to convert most major
market stations over the next few years. As a result, consumers with HD Radio
receivers will be able to hear many of their favorite AM and FM stations in
unparalleled digital clarity.
... Fulfilled by Recepter HD
Purchasers of Boston Acoustics' Recepter Radio HD will be among the first to
enjoy radio's next-generation sound. In addition to iBiquity's HD Radio
technology, the new Recepter Radio HD employs patented BassTrac(R) circuitry to
deliver bass performance out of proportion to its remarkably compact size. The
Recepter is backward compatible with traditional AM/FM broadcasts, and
maintains the same compact size, portability and overall appearance of the
original Recepter Radio.
It also boasts a high performance tuner found only in advanced component
receivers with an exceptional ability to pull in weak FM stations. The tuner's
high selectivity allows it to separate closely spaced stations clearly, while
Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuitry precisely locks in stations, eliminating drift
as it delivers the full sonic capabilities of the FM signal.
The Recepter Radio HD includes memory tuning for up to 20 AM/FM presets in any
order desired, and incorporates two independent clock alarms that can be set
for waking up to music, a buzzer, or both. Snooze and Sleep functions are also
provided, as is a battery backup that retains presets and time settings, even
during a power outage.
Of course, Recepter HD listeners also benefit from the opportunity to enjoy The
Boston Sound(TM), an acclaimed feature of all Boston Acoustics speaker systems
that reproduces music and movie sound with exceptional accuracy. The Boston
Sound delivers the music and sound effects that artists intend with a pure
neutral tonal consistency that remains the same for all Boston Acoustics
speakers, including the Recepter Radio HD.
Available in handsome platinum, charcoal and polar white finishes, the Recepter
Radio HD will be available in Spring 2005 from authorized Boston Acoustics
dealers.
