PRESS RELEASE
Earth-Friendly Home Audio System Made from Sustainably Sourced, Sculpted Wood Blends Exceptional Sound with Sophisticated Design
15 October 2012 - The House of Marley, a collection of premium quality, earth-friendly personal audio and lifestyle products, today announced the availability of the Get Up Stand UpTM home audio system. The MARLEY Freedom Collection Get Up Stand Up is available for purchase at HMV and other selected retailers for a RRP of £299.99.
The MARLEY Get Up Stand Up is uniquely crafted from one piece of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified bent birch wood and finished in a rich walnut colour. Its distinctive design makes this home audio system, and the music it delivers, the focal point of any room. The Get Up Stand Up continues with the sustainable initiatives of The House of Marley by using recycled plastic components and earth-friendly packaging.
"We thought back to how people used to admire the large floor speakers back in the 1970s and 80s and how those speakers were design elements in the home. Our Get Up Stand Up system delivers exceptional audio quality in a strikingly beautiful design, while staying true to our values and commitment to the planet," said Rohan Marley, on behalf of The House of Marley.
Equipped with an iPod/iPhone/iPad docking and charging station, the Get Up Stand Up also has two aux-in ports to connect hundreds of devices (3.5mm cable included). Features include: high output 11.4cm woofers, 2.5cm tweeters, a powerful amplifier, an IR remote so the user can control their music from around the room, and a universal 100/240VAC power adaptor.
The House of Marley audio products, including home audio systems, are created with the MARLEY "Signature Sound," incorporating more than 30 years of audio expertise into the design of the acoustics of their audio products. It is the goal of The House of Marley to produce audio products with smooth, powerful bass, mids with stunning presence, and an energised high-end that brings songs to life. Each product undergoes custom tuning to deliver the most realistic and powerful performances possible.
The House of Marley, besides expanding on its MARLEY audio line, will stay true to its lifestyle roots by introducing watches, bags and other earth-friendly accessories in the near future and donates five per cent of annual profits to 1Love.org, the global movement sparked by the Marley family that provides funding to charities and causes focused on youth, planet and peace.
Products from The House of Marley are currently available at selected retailers in more than 20 countries across North America, Europe, Australia, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, with planned expansion into 30 more countries by 2013.
