SLS signs vendor agreement with Best Buy

SLS signed a master vendor agreement with Best Buy Co. Inc. to distribute its Q-Line Gold Home Theater Surround Sound System, co-developed with Grammy-winner Quincy Jones. The debut of the product in stores will coincide with its appearance on the finale of the NBC reality show “The Apprentice,” to be aired in May.

“Best Buy’s position as the dominant retailer in the consumer electronics industry is the ideal channel for us to promote the SLS brand and the new Q-Line Gold Home Theater System to the broadest consumer market possible,” said Chairman and CEO John Gott in a news release.

The Q-Line Gold system features four bookshelf satellite speakers and one center channel speaker, all utilizing planar ribbon drivers and woven Kevlar midrange drivers. A high-excursion, self-powered subwoofer controls bass to meet low frequency requirements.

The system’s Dolby Digital/DTS receiver features a built-in room-balancing algorithm, component video throughput with video up scaling, on-screen display and a universal remote control. A DVD player with MP3 support also is included.

The planned selling price at Best Buy is $799.
