We just got our hands on some very cool images from Edifer that we thought you'd all like to see. If you're unfamiliar with Edifer, they're a long time manufacturer of specialized speaker systems, based in China with a North American office in Vancouver, Canada. They actually won an honoree award at this year's Consumer Electronics Show for their Rainbow wireless speaker system. But the company also produces some wild multimedia speaker systems designed for PC enthusiasts...

What you see pictured here are Edifer's S730 Signature Series Multimedia Speakers and E3350 pyramids. The S730 Signature Series Multimedia Speaker system boasts a power output of 75W × 2 (satellites) + 150W (sub-woofer) and a frequency response of 23 Hz - 20KHz, with a Signal to Noise Ratio of ≥90dBA. The speakers feature wooden enclosures with a piano finish on satellite speakers. The sub has a 10-inch long throw, front-firing driver with dual passive radiators on both sides of the subwoofer enclosure to exaggerate the bass, and the while system has a multi-function wired control with 3-inch LCD display, 7-level backlight dimmer, and slim remote control. Digital coaxial and optical inputs are also available on the system.

Aside from their funky appearance, the E3350 speaker system features a downward firing subwoofer, and 2-way, magnetically shielded satellites with soft silk dome tweeters. The satellite enclosures are built from an anti-resonant composite material and the sub has separate bass level adjustment for fine tuning. The E3350's also have a cool wired controller with a red Halo-style power indicator that includes a headphone jack and an input for portable media and CD players. The E3350's should be avaialble at large retailers (RadioShack, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) for about $99 in the not too distant future.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
