Franklin Electronic Publishers Launches ROADIE??? Portable Speaker System

"At Franklin, we have always been known for our development of innovative travel products such as translators. We're always thinking about how we can better serve our travelers. This flexible, robust, and portable communication system is our answer," says Barry J. Lipsky, Franklin's president and chief executive officer. "It not only means I can take my audio tunes with me be it music or movies but I can use it with my weekly SKYPE conference calls as a portable speaker phone," he added.

The traveler in mind

With the traveler in mind, Franklin designed this modular product to save space and to allow the traveler to take only what is needed on the road. The system is source agnostic (i.e., not just built for the iPod) and enhances the experience for a traveler with multiple sound sources such as VoIP, multimedia presentations, MP3 player, etc. Franklin's new line of "Explorer" Products built for the mobile professional is spearheaded by this innovative, rugged, aluminum constructed system, built to last even through the expected wear and tear of business travel. The ROADIE system comes with a carrying case and a variety of cables and international adapters to allow its use no matter where one might be "Explorer" of.
