Twelve South introduces BassJump, a portable, USB powered subwoofer that turns a MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air into a portable sound system. The BassJump sound and power comes from one single USB connection. Proprietary software blends the sound output of the BassJump subwoofer with the output of built-in MacBook speakers for dramatically enhanced sound performance. BassJump is sold exclusively at the Apple Store and at twelvesouth.com for $79.99 and is available now.
BassJump makes the great sounding, built-in MacBook speakers sound even better by adding mid- and low-frequencies for a fuller, richer sound. It’s perfect for small offices, hotel rooms and other near-field listening environments. Along with making your iTunes library sound better, BassJump also adds feeling and depth to video games, streaming videos and internet radio.
BassJump Software
Behind the sleek, minimalist design of BassJump is a custom DSP-based software that blends the BassJump subwoofer with the MacBook speakers. This combined output delivers a dramatic improvement over the standard MacBook sound. The BassJump software also presents users with visual feedback in the form of two glowing, old-school analog VU-meters. A working mini VU-meter is also placed in the Menu Bar for quick access to settings. Finally, the software allows you to customize the sound for your style of music: rock, pop, R&B, etc.
Andrew Green, Designer of the BassJump said, “Like many Twelve South products, BassJump is designed to simplify and enhance your Mac experience. MacBooks have great speaker elements built-in, they just need a little low-end assistance. So why litter your desk with piles of cables and plastic speakers when you can add a beautiful simple Aluminum subwoofer and make the speakers you already have - work better. That is the vision that BassJump delivers. And it’s powered by one USB connection, making it completely portable too.”
