Soundcast announces the debut of their latest premium personal audio unit, the VG1. A Bluetooth speaker engineered for high definition portable sound, the VG1 boasts superb quality throughout, including shock absorbing and waterproofing, striking the perfect balance for indoor and outdoor listening enjoyment.

Crafted with premium 2" aluminum drivers which include powerful neodymium magnets, a rear-firing weighted bass radiator and digital sound processing, audio translates remarkably full through an ultra-portable, light one-pound package. The VG1 also works with Siri for hands-free control, features a built-in microphone for conference calls, and volume can be easily adjusted or a track can be paused via onboard controls. Impressively rich and full as a solo unit, the Auto Bluetooth pairing feature allows two VG1 units to seamlessly connect and play at a 30-foot range for up to 15 hours with the rechargeable battery, filling a room, backyard pool party or indoor/outdoor setting with crisp, clear sound.

The VG1 represents a major leap forward in elevation of sound from a company known for producing critically acclaimed, quality weather-resistant speakers that play studio sound loud and detailed.

"We've spent a lot of time speaking with customers and studying this competitive market, and identified a need for a waterproof speaker that doesn't sacrifice sound quality," said Charity Hardwick, vice president of sales and marketing, Soundcast. "Applying Soundcast's years of experience in design and engineering, we've created a beautiful and rugged portable high-definition Bluetooth speaker that will be truly appreciated by the discerning ear."

The VG1 is currently available for preorder for $149.99. For more information on the VG1 and to place your order, please visit gosoundcast.com.
