TMO at MWSF - Two More New Products From Griffin Technology

by , 12:15 AM EST, January 13th, 2005

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Griffin Technology introduced two further products at Macworld Expo, the BlueTrip wireless Bluetooth audio adapter for iPod, and FireWave, a FireWire box that delivers 5.1 surround sound to Mac users.

BlueTrip consists of a receiver unit that plugs into a home stereo and an adapter that sits on top of the iPod. Think of it as Griffin's iTrip meets BlueTooth. A BlueTrip equipped can transmit its audio to the BlueTrip receiver up to 30 feet away from the stereo. It is available now for pre-order for $149.99 and is slated to ship later this quarter.

FireWave is a unique, bus-powered device that delivers 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound to Macs through a FireWire port. With FireWave, FireWire-equipped Mac users can take full advantage of the 5.1 computer speaker systems on the market. FireWave will ship in the first quarter of the year; pre-orders are being taken now for $99.99.

I hope the FireWave is better than the PowerWave I bought from them. PowerWave specs are good and sounds like it would be great but the actual output was only marginally better than the sound out from the Mac ports and the input was actually much WORSE.

Can you add a sound blaster audigy pci card to the powermac G5? if so, this would probably be a cheaper and better solution.

Why? Every G5 has digital audio io out of the box.
