Stillwater-based Kicker features audio equipment at CES

Kicker has been an exhibitor at the International CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas for more than 30 years. The company has two booths — one representing the mobile audio side of the business, and the other hosting the home and personal products.

This year at CES, Kicker's mobile-audio unit debuted two lines of car speakers, including subwoofers and amplifiers, and a line of Powersports speakers for motorcycles, ATVs and boats. The company's home and personal products division showed four new audio docks, including three with Bluetooth, as well as seven over-the-head headphones and 11 sets of earbuds.

The new Bluetooth docks will work with iPhones and iPads, as well as other Bluetooth-enabled gadgets and devices with standard audio jacks. It also features a USB port for charging and a free app is available for custom tuning the dock's sound.

“As a global company, we have to think about all of the devices that use Bluetooth and market a universal solution,” said Kip Litsey, special operations manager.
