EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, Nov. 28, 2017 – Whether on the jobsite, your personal DIY project, or inside or outside the home, RYOBI’s new Score™ wireless speaker system is the ideal audio solution for a multitude of uses.
Now available and sold exclusively at The Home Depot® and available in Canada for the first time, Score utilizes acclaimed SKAA® technology, which allows a 150ft. wireless range and can connect up to four additional hub and satellite (primary and secondary) speakers instantly.
“Canada is where Eleven Engineering was founded and is headquartered, and so we are proud to have such a successful new product now available to the Canadian market,” said Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering director of sales, North America. “When we had originally discussed SKAA with RYOBI during the R&D phase, it quickly became apparent that SKAA was the perfect technology for Score. It was then an immediate hit in the U.S. when launched earlier this year, and we expect similar great things throughout Canada.”
Brian Mertel, Ryobi Sr. Director of Product Management explained that by connecting your Bluetooth® device first to a primary speaker, you now have the ability to connect up to four additional Score primary or secondary speakers instantly using SKAA® technology. “With up to 150 ft. of SKAA range from a primary speaker, these speakers can be placed virtually anywhere on a residential or commercial jobsite or in the home, such as the backyard, garage, basement, kids’ rooms, etc. and stream through your walls and floors. This would not be able to be done with such high performance consistency without SKAA as our wireless technology.”
SKAA is the new wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering, Inc. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack. SKAA is also available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products, which are featured at SKAA.com. SKAA navigates hostile environments saturated in wireless traffic with best-in-class reliability, and delivers uninterrupted audio with the highest sound quality to all speakers without the latency that is inherent in other wireless solutions.
“SKAA is ridiculously easy to use – all compatible products are ready to play right out of the box,” continued Whitehead. “It’s also highly flexible, being compatible with a fantastic breadth of audio sources, such as the Score wireless speaker systems. Plus, SKAA receivers can effortlessly switch from source to source. And don’t forget rock-solid reliability, great range, and CD-quality sound. SKAA.com is the source for all things SKAA.”
Score features a high-quality driver and passive radiator, so you will always receive clear, robust sound. They are compatible with any RYOBI ONE+ 18-Volt battery, include an AC power adaptor that allow for endless runtime, Bluetooth enabled for quick mobile device to primary speaker connection, integrated FM tuner with five Presets for more listening options (P760 primary speaker only), and include a high quality driver and passive radiator for clear, robust sound.
