Creative's NOMAD Jukebox Now Offered With Select HP Pavilion PCs

Feb. 13 -- Creative today announced its award-winning NOMAD Jukebox portable digital audio player will be offered as a built-to-order option on select customizable PCs from Hewlett-Packard Company. This is the first time Creative's NOMAD Jukebox is being made available in a PC bundle by an OEM. Creative's NOMAD II portable digital audio player, as well as its Sound Blaster Live! Value sound card and Cambridge SoundWorks FourPointSurround FPS2000 Digital speakers, will also be offered in select build-to-order HP Pavilion PCs.
"PC and audio enthusiasts want the best audio experience on their PCs, and they want that experience to be portable, manageable and fun," said John Troutman, vice president & general manager of Creative Labs, Inc. Malvern. "HP's customizable PCs combined with Creative's digital entertainment solutions exceed consumers' expectations by delivering the highest quality at an affordable price."

The NOMAD Jukebox is a lightweight (14oz.) digital audio player, which is the size of a portable CD player, featuring a line-in for analog recording from external sources and dual line-out connections for immersive surround sound. Unlike other hardware-based solutions, the NOMAD Jukebox also includes an onboard real-time digital signal processor (DSP) for superior audio playback, EAX technology and customization. A Headphone-Out jack supports headphone spatialization and equalizer effects.
