The SuperStar Monster Blaster incorporates new innovative design and technology features including a V-shaped angled cabinet design with drivers on both sides that project room-filling sound on either side of the speaker. This creates direct and reflective sound that comes towards you and bounces off the wall to create a complete immersive experience that we call V-Sound™. The Blaster also features Monster’s proprietary PowerBass™, an integrated powered subwoofer for real bass response. Another example of modern technology enhancing classic Boombox design is the model’s Indoor and Outdoor Dual EQ Voicing Profiles that optimize its sound in any environment, and enhances bass further for outdoor listening sessions. An integrated handle and water-resistant all-weather design make it easy to bring the party virtually anywhere. Explore the world of Monster at www.monsterproducts.com.
