Maestro 1070 Is First in a Series of iPod & iPhone Docking Speakers That Provide High Performance Audio Playback Without a Stereo System
WILMINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - August 13, 2007) - Blue Raven Technology
(www.blueravengear.com), a leading provider of video consumer electronics
and iPod audio products and
accessories, today introduced the Maestro 1070, a one-piece iPod and iPhone speaker and docking station
for 70 watt digital audio playback. The Maestro 1070 is the first in a
series of iPod docking and
sound systems Blue Raven will launch in 2007, including two-piece speaker
systems; Bluetooth enabled iPod
speakers and noise cancelling headsets.
The Maestro 1070 has a suggested retail price of $199 and is available
immediately through CompUSA, PC Mall, MacMall, e-Cost, Buy.com, Amazon.com,
OnSale.com, Pro Advantage, Ingram Micro distributors, as well as at

"We see a large gap in the marketplace for high performance iPod speakers,
that have the flexibility to play to and from other devices, at a
reasonable price," said Blue Raven's President Glen Kashgegian. "Most of
the iPod speakers out there are trading on brand name and cache -- we
believe that there is a large consumer segment that will do their homework
on the audio quality of each unit and choose wisely to get real value."

The Maestro 1070 has 70 watts of total power, with one 5" center subwoofer
and two 3" satellite speakers. The product has a universal dock for use
with any dockable iPod that also charges the iPod when on. Consumers can

port, and can output videos for display on a TV. The Maestro also comes

black or white, weighs about 18 lbs., and is 17.75" x 7.25" x 7.5".
