The Oyster and The Pearl
UK company, Damson is showing a couple of new products out at CES in the shape of 'the Oyster' - the companys latest and most ambitious
wireless speaker - and The Pearl billed as their 'most stylish and sophisticated Bluetooth wireless speaker yet'.
The Oyster uses a complex driver array and sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) to create a wide sound. Two 2in front-facing 10W midrange drivers, two side-firing 1.5in tweeters and a rear passive radiator subwoofer combine to deliver the dynamics.
For maximum audio quality, the Oyster uses the Apt-x codec for A2DP Bluetooth streaming. The Oyster is still compact, measuring just 230 x 100 x 116mm and features a built-in Lithium Ion rechargeable battery they say will deliver 12 hours of continuous wireless music.
The price is £179.99
Key Features
Speaker type: Wave field Synthesis 3D sound
Output: 2 x 2in front-facing 10W drivers, 2 x 1.5in side-facing 10W drivers, 1 x rear passive radiator
Dimensions: 230 x 100 x 116mm

Like its Damson predecessors, the Cisor and the Twist, the Pearl uses an innovative resonating Incisor Diffusion Technology that turns the surface it is sitting on into a de facto speaker. Additionally for the Pearl, Damson has added an extra, conventional speaker driver to deliver more musical drive and midrange clarity.
Measuring just 52 x 66mm, the Pearl stays true to the Damson design philosophy. It also has a 3.5mm audio input for wired connection, and a 3.5mm output allowing you to daisy chain two or more Pearls. The Pearls battery is said to last for four hours, or nine hours with a wired connection.
