For Immediate Release:

EDIFIER’S e25 LUNA ECLIPSE™ IS THE PROUD RECIPIENT OF THE
2014 iF PRODUCT DESIGN AWARD

January 31^, 2014 - Vancouver, B.C.

Offering the best in design and audio, Edifier® is proud to announce that it has been awarded with the 2014  iF Design Award for the e25 Luna Eclipse 2.0 Bluetooth speaker system. For over six decades, the iF Design awards have recognized outstanding achievements in design and engineering. The highly acclaimed international reputation of the iF Design awards is, not least, due to the top-class level of the entries. Contestants for this award have been judged by a preeminent panel of 49 experts and renowned designers from all over the world to honor outstanding design and engineering. 

Edifier®, a global designer and manufacturer of award-winning audio systems, introduced its newest 2.0 Bluetooth speaker system - the Luna Eclipse in late 2013.  Boasting 74 watts of power, the Luna Eclipse is a must have for audio enthusiasts seeking exceptional audio quality in a visually striking package. 

Ideal for desktops and various home environments, the Luna Eclipse connects to any Bluetooth® enabled device including smartphones, tablets and computers for wireless audio playback.  The Luna Eclipse can also connect to devices such as televisions, etc., using the 3.5mm auxiliary cable provided.  

A touch sensitive panel that controls volume, power and track changes is located on the side of Luna Eclipse’s active speaker.  When in Bluetooth mode, the user can use a swiping motion to change tracks or volume.  In addition, an included wireless remote controls volume and power.

To uphold Edifier’s focus on audio clarity, the Luna Eclipse features the incorporation of Digital Sound Processing (DSP) and Dynamic Range Control (DRC) minimizing the distortion levels even at the highest volumes, producing clear, clean audio output.  Available in Black; Red or White.

Design that takes a stand - the iF design awards 2014 reward the daring

4.615 entries vied for the coveted iF design awards, which were awarded for the 61st time this year. The successful internationalization continued to gain ground in 2014: the jury of 49 experts evaluated designs from 55 countries in total, once again a considerable increase over the previous year. The iF design awards 2014 were awarded in the three competitions iF product design award 2014, iF communication design award 2014 and iF packaging design award 2014. 75 entries stood above the strong international competition and received an iF gold award for their extraordinary design achievement. The award ceremony will take place at the BMW Welt in Munich on 28 February 2014. 

Prof. Fritz Frenkler, jury chairman, was impressed by the consistent high quality of the entries, the passion for innovation and the courage of some manufacturers to pursue their own design approaches: “With products from categories that focused on computers, consumer electronics and mobile phones, the overall tendency goes toward simplifying and slimming down, which unfortunately also leads to uniformity. In doing so, it becomes more difficult to recognize differences in design. Whoever has the courage to step outside of the box gains advantages and is rewarded with visibility.”
