The first product to be released will feature newly developed technologies for high-quality audio in a new earphone form developed jointly by Future Sonics and XtremeMac. These products will feature co-branding of both companies by using the 'Powered by Future Sonics' badge under the XtremeMac brand. According to XtremeMac CEO Gary Bart, "The enhanced audio earphone market is significant. Combining our brand with audio pioneer Future Sonics will put us at the top of a rapidly growing segment."
XtremeMac's large share and visibility within the iPod accessories market, along with their prominent placement with Apple retail stores, top retailers, and a network of authorized resellers, in addition to their own web site, create an excellent situation for both companies to showcase this unique and unmatched opportunity for consumers.
"We feel very strongly that XtremeMac is the appropriate teammate and an excellent vehicle for our designs and technologies," reports Marty Garcia, president of Future Sonics. "We have worked very long and hard to respond to the input we have received from consumers who have discovered our products for use with their iPods, laptops and home studios as well as our professional musicians, engineers and broadcasters."
Under the terms of the agreement, XtremeMac will exclusively market and distribute new products developed in cooperation with Future Sonics and using their proprietary technologies. For Future Sonics, this partnership follows several successful OEM product offerings in the professional audio market with companies like Sennheiser, Crest and others.
