SYDNEY, 4^th July 2016 – Whether you’re hosting a family barbeque, birthday or house party, you know the festivities do not kick off without music and a great playlist to match. LG Australia (LG) today announced the availability of the LG X-BOOM Freestyler (FH6)*, a new 600W all-in-one sound system with wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a variety of DJ features and effects to transform any party.

The LG X-BOOM Freestyler: an all-in-one sound system

Not only does the LG X-BOOM Freestyler FH6 boast powerful 600W sound packed with four speakers including dual 8” woofers, it comes with additional features and DJ effects such as scratching, flanging, phasing, delay, and wah, allowing you to be the ultimate host. Plus, there are lighting features that can produce up to 64 colour combinations and synchronise to the beat. Ultimately, meaning you have a sound system that provides a fun boost to any social occasion.

Want more? The LG X-BOOM Freestyler also has a flexible two-way setup: set it up vertically if you’re short on space or horizontally for that classic boombox-feel.

Connect and control through Bluetooth

Party hosts can control sound and DJ features directly from the unit or from their Android smartphones by using the LG Music Flow Bluetooth app**, which is available to download on compatible smartphones or tablets. Users can also stream their favourite playlists directly from online sources such as Spotify Premium or Pandora. Access to Bluetooth connectivity is also provided through a built-in NFC tag that works by simply tapping your smartphone on the top panel of the sound system. Tracks can also be accessed manually by using the provided USB connection, which is also conveniently located on the top panel of the system.

Pair up to three smartphones

The Bluetooth Multipoint capability can pair up to three devices (including smartphones, tablets or PCs) simultaneously so friends can play their favourite songs one after another without going through the connection and disconnection process.

What LG has to say?

“If you entertain people at home – parties, BBQs, even just a Friday night with your mates in front of the footy – the LG X-BOOM Freestyler transforms quickly from a wireless TV sound bar to a Bluetooth music system with karaoke features. It’s incredibly diverse,” said Grant Vandenberg, Marketing Manager for Home Entertainment at LG Electronics.

“The LG X-BOOM Freestyler is the modern day boombox. There’s resurgence in larger all-in-one music systems that can be used in a wide range of situations that pump out loud and high quality sound. The Bluetooth market is performing strongly, currently growing at 37 per cent year on year*** and the LG X-BOOM Freestyler competes in this space.

“This is Bluetooth on steroids. If you want a Bluetooth audio system in your home that pumps out 600W of powerful sound and does so much more, the LG X-BOOM Freestyler fits the bill. One thing is guaranteed, the LG X-BOOM Freestyler will bring out the good times in everyone,” added Vandenberg.
