RANGE AUDIO PRODUCTS CREATED FOR COUNTRY FANS Bem Wireless has created its newest audio line called Range. The products are made for coun- try music fans, whose demo- graphic continues to outpace all other music genres in the U.S.A. Country music is the new mainstream, and its music fans make up more than 42 percent of the United States population. With more than 100 million consumers in the U.S.A. calling themselves "country fans," it sees great potential for creating a long term heritage brand, one that's uniquely "Tuned For Country." American country music has a rich history that reflects authentic living, and Range audio products are uniquely craft- ed to reflect on our great audio heritage. Celebrating America and the music born from it, Range is crafted with the country music enthusiast in mind. Bem Wireless initiated its soft launch for the Range Strum Bluetooth speaker in November at a Country Music Association Awards afterparty in Nashville, Tenn. Celebrity guests and friends in attendance at the event expressed excitement over the new audio lineup on display throughout the event. Since the CMA event, the Range "Strum" speakers are now in the hands of top celebrity country artists. Bem Wireless will contin- ue to unveil the brand in the coming months with its retail presence beginning in April, just in time for its involvement with the ACM's (The Academy of Country Music Awards). As a follow up to the "Strum" speaker, Range will be introducing a new wireless stereo speaker called "Ballad," inspired by your favorite boots and truck. Range is also due to launch its "Liberty" head- phone series during the back-to-school period. Ongoing consumer marketing will take place throughout the year to support the launch. Bem Wireless is also a proud member of the Country Music Association. Visit Bem Wireless in Conference Room Suite S210.
