From ear buds to the desktop, new Ashdown Meters Linx keeps the music flowing
Trust Ashdown to redefine the concept of music everywhere. The UK-based audio innovators, famous for making the bass guitar amplifiers used by countless bands including U2, Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro, have now announced the new Meters Linx, an uber-cool combined wireless ear bud and desktop speaker system that’s designed to keep the music flowing, indoors and out.
The desktop system comprises of a central Charging Case for the ear buds, which also features Ashdown’s trademark, vintage illuminated VU meter which responds in real time to the music. A pair of compact, IPX4-rated wireless speakers can be positioned up to 10m apart, utilising custom-tuned 2.5-inch full range drivers to deliver a dynamic and clearly defined sonic performance, whether you’re in the office or at the park with friends.
Take the ear-buds from the Charging Case and they’re all powered up for 6 hours of continuous use, courtesy of custom Lithium-Ion batteries. And the charging case can be used to provide an additional 24 hours of charge when used on the move.
Employing a custom-designed balanced armature driver coupled with a 7mm dynamic driver, the Linx TWS (True Wireless System) ear buds use the same Qualcomm Adaptive APTX codec as Ashdown’s flagship Meters OV-1-B-C headphones for ultra-low latency HD audio, with rich, sonorous bass, clear and pristine high frequencies and a detailed, well-defined midrange.
Intuitive, touch-sensitive controls on the left and right ear buds place full control at the user’s fingertips, with features including Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, Skip Track and more. An on-board motion sensor detects when the ear buds are in use, optimising battery charge.
