Earlier this month at CES, I had the chance to
meet with Ace Bayou and take a look at some of their new 2008 product line. At the time, I was focused on the Pro Series 4.1 rocker, but they recently announced another new product for 2008, their Xfunctional
Wireless Audio Recliner. Like the Pro Series rockers, the Audio Recliner is designed to provide an optimized audio experience, whether it is for home theater, gaming or even portable electronics (like an iPod). It sports a 2.1 audio system with front forward speakers and a sub and is capable of being daisy-chained to other recliners. Check out the full release announcing the recliner after the jump:

2008 International CES
NEW ORLEANS--Ace Bayou, the leading designer and manufacturer of sound furniture, today unveiled its Wireless Audio Recliner at the Las Vegas Market, the latest addition to its Xfunctional platform of media furniture. With a high-quality sound system and innovative design to maximize comfort, the Wireless Audio Recliner optimizes the home theater experience by providing users with a superior level of media immersion. The company will also be showcasing its new X Rocker Pro-Series and X Rocker 4.1 ultimate gaming chairs, which recently debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Featuring the company’s innovative, patented AFM technology, the Wireless Audio Recliner, like all of Ace Bayou’s Xfunctional products, utilizes the space inside the chair to amplify sound, increase sound quality and improve the user experience. Designed to revolutionize any media experience, the recliner connects wirelessly with the most popular media devices, including home theater systems, mp3 players and gaming consoles.
“Over the years, we have developed an entire ecosystem of sound furniture for every room in the house, ” said Rick Davis, Vice President, Ace Bayou Corporation. “The Wireless Audio Recliner not only provides users with an exceptional home theater experience, but also offers a stylish and sophisticated piece of furniture providing a chic and mature look for the entire home.”
Wireless Audio Recliner
The new Wireless Audio Recliner is equipped with wireless capabilities and a 2.1 built-in, high-quality sound system with two forward-facing speakers and a subwoofer. The chair fully reclines and is outfitted to allow users to daisy chain multiple chairs together. The sleek black vinyl, fire retardant foam-filled recliner is built with a wood and metal frame.

Audio Force Modulation™ Technology

For users, the AFM technology delivers a vibration audio experience transferring the rumbling sound of an adjustable powered subwoofer into the backrest of the furniture, providing a full range of multi-sensory entertainment. With AFM technology, every experience is intensified, whether it is watching a movie, rocking to music or feeling the pounding action of gaming.
