Mitchell Acoustics, a well-known audio brand in the U.K., is coming to the U.S. with a simple mission: to bring back stereo listening for everyone at an affordable price point.
Offering both wireless Bluetooth speakers and turntables, Mitchell Acoustics’ audio products have been developed for casual and serious lovers of music as well as movie sound. Their audio devices provide a cable-free, Wi-Fi-free, and network-free solution, harnessing the outstanding quality possible over Bluetooth, with the simplicity and convenience of the platform. The sophisticated engineering eliminates additional equipment like receivers and subwoofers, removing the clutter from the user’s living space – all without breaking the bank.
The company, founded in 2018 by award-winning British audio specialist and professional producer/musician Paul Mitchell, along with Alex Leung, audio engineer and sound electronics guru, will enter the market with four Bluetooth products: its highly popular 100-watt uStream One speakers; the 160-watt uStream Two speakers; a new, “go anywhere” stereo speaker set called uStream Go; and the beautifully crafted TT2 Bluetooth turntable.
Mitchell claims that the introduction of his company’s products into the U.S. marketplace gives the American audio consumer something they’ve been missing for a long time. “Many consumers who stream music use the standalone mono speakers that are popular today,” he explained. “They are primarily used out of convenience, but there is no way they can produce true, high-quality stereo sound. “Our uStream series retains the convenience of these standalone devices but produce beautiful stereo sound, reminiscent of what hi-fi was like years ago. They can exploit all streaming options and deliver sound much closer to what the artists and producers intended.”
Complementing the uStream speakers is the TT2 turntable, created to capitalize on the resurgence of vinyl records, both among the older generation who grew up with them and the newer demographic eager to experience them for the first time.
Macy Mucciacciaro, Senior Vice President of Sales for Next Level Distributing, the exclusive distributor in the U.S. for Mitchell Acoustics products, is enthusiastic about representing the Mitchell Acoustics brand.
“Paul Mitchell has filled a real void in the stereo sound market,” she said. “With streaming music so popular, there is a critical need for a speaker system that can capture the true stereo sound that has been ignored in the name of convenience. Representing the Mitchell Acoustics brand – both speakers and turntables – allows us the opportunity to give the listening public something they’ve been missing for quite a while.”
The uStream One Bluetooth speakers are currently available online at Amazon and will soon be at a number of independent electronics retailers. In October, uStream Go will debut at selected locations of InMotion, the largest airport-based electronics retailer in the U.S., followed by independent retailers and online. By end November, the TT2 will be found online and in the independent retailers, while the uStream Two will arrive in January 2023.
The uStream One system will retail for $499. uStream Go is $449, and uStream Two is $999. The TT2 turntable will sell for $349. For CEDIA dealers looking to represent Mitchell Acoustics, contact Shane Mullikin of Next Level Distributing at (561) 863-7704 x150, or Bill Boyer at [email protected].
