Sony today announced the extension of its PC speaker range with the introduction of five 2.0 PC speaker systems. The lifestyle-orientated products launch as Sony looks to expand its IT peripherals offering and further increase its share of the PC speaker market within the next year. The products include two mid-range desktop PC speakers (SRS-Z510 and SRS-A212B), two entry-level desktop PC speakers (SRS-A201 and SRS-AX10s), as well as one portable speaker system (SRS-M30) that complements the existing SRS-T10PCV on the travel speaker segment, and the high-end SRS-ZP1000 Hi-fi PC speakers.

All of the new 2.0 speaker systems are magnetically shielded for sound quality, have built-in volume control and an on/off power switch.

Agnès Lariguet, Product Manager for PC Accessories, Sony Europe’s IT Peripherals division comments, “Sony has a long heritage in consumer products, particularly quality audio products. Alongside the new speaker products we have also established a dedicated IT sales and IT distribution channel to bring the products to market. Building on the success of our 2.1 and 5.1 speaker ranges we aim to achieve a 10% market share of the PC speaker market within the next year.”
