Lacie USB bus-powered Speaker System is Portable and Stylist

Lacie, best known for professional desktop monitors and stylist external hard drives, has slowly moving in portable speakers business. Here’s another chic and sleek looking from the design of Neil Poulton by Lacie. A plug-n-play bus-powered compact speakers system required no additional driver, AC adapter or batteries to work with your PC or Mac system.

Compare to its original $99 fireWire version, the updated speakers now featuring a more widely used USB 2.0 interface, driverless for PC system and $40 cheaper. On the other hands, the lower power output USB interface results in a 1-2W minimum power output as oppose to the original 4-8w output. DAC has signal processing has dropped from 24 bits/96khz to 16 bits/48khz.

The Lacie USB Speakers will be available in September.
