SHARP CORPORATION : Party time with any Apple device - 4-traders

Sharp has the perfect sound system for Apple lovers, the DK-KP95. This new Sharp hi-fi micro system, produces an outstanding sound via Airplay in an elegant design. Whether you use an iPod, iPhone or iPad - your music collection is always close to hand. The DK-KP95 is a compact all-in-one hi-fi system which music lovers can also use to play their favourite songs at home, flexibly and comfortably. Anyone who uses an iPod, an iPhone or an iPad to manage and listen to their music collection should be able to do the same at home, in the same style. Sharp's new DK-KP95 is a compact and elegantly designed all-in-one hi-fi system which will delight music lovers with its outstanding design and technology.

The highlight of the well thought-out design is the AirPlay function. AirPlay makes it very easy to stream music froman iPhone, for example, directly onto the DK-KP95PH, without an additional router. The system also has DLNA, meaning that it can be conveniently integrated into an existing home network and thereby access music from PCs directly.

The integrated CD drive is hidden behind a sliding front which slides softly opens and closes whenever a CD is changed. iPhones and iPods can easily be connected via the top dock. The iPad2 can be connected and operated via a USB with charging function. Once the devices are connected, their batteries will be charged automatically. Other MP3 Players can be very easily connected by USB or audio input. With a view to keeping electricity consumption low, the hi-fi system switches itself off after 15 minutes if no audio signal is available.

"These days music lovers use all kinds of different devices to organize their music collections and therefore need the greatest possible flexibility when it comes to playing their favourite songs. The DK-KP95 enables hassle-free enjoyment of your favourite band, whether streaming from iPod, iPhone, iPad, or via a CD or an MP3-Player connected by USB cable. The system can also be conveniently incorporated into a home network via DLNA", explains Alberico Lissoni, Vice President Consumer Electronics at Sharp Europe. "Thanks to the incredible, slim design and the small amount of floor space required, the DK-KP95 is an ideal music system for the living room and as a second set on a bookshelf, in the bathroom or in the kitchen."

However, it is not just its exterior that makes the DK-KP95 the perfect partner for iPhone, iPod and iPad. This compact audio system's with a total output of 50 watts RMS, generate a balanced sound. By contrast, in standby, the system consumes only four watts and, thanks to the auto-power-off function, automatically switches itself off after 15 minutes without a signal. The package also includes an integrated FM-/AM tuner with RDS, enough memory for 40 radio stations and a remote control.

The Sharp DK-KP95 is currently available in stores for a recommended retail price of EUR 249.00.
