SLEEK AUDIO NAMED AS CES INNOVATIONS 2011 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING AWARD HONOREE

 

New York, New York, November 9, 2010 – Sleek Audio today announced that it has been named an International CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the SA1 Wireless Hybrid in-ear earphones.  Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 35 product categories.

 

            The newly designed SA1 boasts a rosewood aluminum build for a classy, yet innovative style. For performance, the SA1 utilizes a 6mm. custom tuned driver with an all-new dual venting system for astonishing bass response and vocal clarity. The VQ™ Tuning system gives listeners more control over the powerful 6 mm. driver by allowing them to adjust the frequency response to match their individual sonic preference. Finally the Wireless Hybrid technology gives the users the option to upgrade to Sleek’s Kleer™ wireless application for uncompressed, lossless music without the cables.

            “We have always claimed that all of our products, from our most expensive to our most affordable, will offer true innovation and performance for our customers. With the SA7 winning the Best of Innovations and the SA1 being awarded the Innovations Honoree it validates the tremendous work our entire team puts into our products day in and day out. It’s truly an honor,” Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio.

The prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976. It is sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)^®, the producer of the International CES, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow.

Sleek Audio’s SA1 will be displayed at the 2011 International CES, which runs January 6-9, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase will feature honorees by product category in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center and will also be featured at CES Unveiled: The Official Press Event of the International CES on Tuesday, January 4.

The Innovations entries are judged based on the following criteria:

• Engineering qualities, based on technical specs and materials used
• Aesthetic and design qualities
• The product’s intended use/function and user value
•  Unique/novel features that consumers would find attractive
• How the design and innovation of the product compares to other products in the marketplace

 

Products chosen as Innovations honorees reflect innovative design and engineering of the entries. Examples may include the first time various technologies are combined in a single product or dramatic enhancements to previous product designs.

Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering honoree products are featured on www.CESweb.org/Innovations, which lists product categories, as well as each product name, manufacturer information, designer, description, photo and URL.
