A pioneer in the music industry for over three decades, Jean Michel Jarre has proven
his expertise in creating the most extraordinary emotions. It was therefore the natural
next step and no surprise, when he, with the support of his team, decided to develop
AeroSystem®, a revolutionary acoustic speaker system. AeroSystem® by Jarre
Technologies® offers, even the most demanding of music-lovers, the most pure and
powerful sound possible. From concept to final product, AeroSystem® employs the most
innovative technology and state-of-the-art materials.
The ultimately elegant design of the AeroSystem®, perfectly integrates any interior:
finally a speaker system that appeals both to design and music-lovers. The first in a
series of revolutionary solutions, AeroSystem® is the result of four years of research
and development by Jean-Michel Jarre and his team of sound engineers. Born in France,
this powerful music system is a milestone in the world of acoustics.
Contrary to traditional systems, the AeroSystem® incorporates an electronic signal
circuit, tailor made to reproduce both the bass line and high notes with optimal
precision in all numeric formats (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc.). AeroSystem® is compatible
with all iPod and iPhone models and comes with an integrated USB 2.0 port, as well as a
mini-jack port offering the possibility to connect the system to a laptop, a CD/DVD
player or any other smartphones and MP3 players.
A high-tech designer object, AeroSystem® delivers a precise and enveloping sound,
thanks to it's powerful box beam and two directional speakers.
The system is controlled by a translucent frosted remote control, a design object in
itself, allowing the music lover to pilot their AeroSystem® from afar via their iPod or
iPhone.
Jean-Michel Jarre's AeroSyst em®, standard in acoustic engineering.
Preface by Music Life LTD
1
Today we listen to more music than at any time in our history.
We're listening everywhere and anywhere, while paying less attention to how we do so.
Whether experiencing audio through the miniature plastic speakers of a laptop, the cheap
earphones connected to our mobile phones, or the small sound-systems in public areas, we
have gradually abandoned our demand for quality, and in the process, I believe, our emotional
relationship with sound.
For many years I dreamt of a sound system that would evoke one of the iconic designs
associated with our musical heritage, such as the elegant phonograph or the glossy jukebox,
while complementing virtually any interior. At the heart of this design would be a sound
system powerful enough to do justice to every kind of music (including mine!) at any volume,
combining a strong, clear bass with superb definition in the higher frequencies.
The sound system of my dreams is now a reality.
The world-class yet affordable AeroSystem®will gratify lovers of both music and design,
while rendering every kind of music in a multitude of platforms and formats, including
iTunes .mp3s and superior-quality .wav files. Here at last is the performance I've longed for
in the form I've desired.
I hope the AeroSystem®gives you as much listening pleasure in your home as it gives me
in mine.
Bonne écoute!
