Metal and Soul in one fantastic 1GB Pen Drive MP3 player

13th March 2006 - Düsseldorf based, Maxfield, present the latest version of their leading G-FLASH series - the G-FLASH METAL. Sporting a 1 GB memory and complete with pre-installed content (the Toni Braxton album "Libra") the unit combines a MP3 / WMA music player, data storage and a dictating machine all in one truly classy package.

Lightweight and streamlined this smart USB 2.0 enabled player is encased in robust and stylish metal housing with exceptional controls and a raft of features & functions designed to provide outstanding performance, including being Windows DRM enabled.

Playback quality:
High-quality music playback is guaranteed by no less than six equaliser stages pre-installed in the player. They make available optimised programmes with appropriate frequency adjustment for music from the areas of X bass, jazz, classical, rock, pop and normal. Volume is controlled by means of 32 options or stages. The G-FLASH METAL can also be connected directly to hi-fi equipment and active loudspeakers to provide instant ambience wherever needed.

Playback format:
In addition to music in MP3 format the new G FLASH top model also plays top quality WMA files thanks to the support of Windows DRM within the player. The unit is therefore capable of playing the music from a range of popular Internet music portals such as AOL Music without any playback issues.

Endurance:
The OLED displays (organic light-emitting diode) consume significantly less energy than traditional LC displays. As a result the G FLASH METAL keeps going for up to 18 hours on only a single AAA alkaline battery. Long enough to listen to the pre-installed new Toni Braxton album.

Capacity:
With a storage capacity of 1 gigabyte the G FLASH has is enough space for about 16 hours music or up to 64 hours of voice recording via the built-in microphone.

Data Storage:
As the same time the G-FLASH METAL functions as a portable mini data carrier for all data (programs, pictures, videos and presentations) which can be accessed directly via the PC USB interface. The high-speed standard USB 2.0 ensures fast data transfer. All stored data can be edited, installed and deleted quickly and easily thanks to the easy-to-use browser. Songs are organised according to title and artist using ID3Tag.

Kit Accessories:
A snappy range of accessories are available with the unit all perfectly co-ordinated to complement the smart G-FLASH METAL: these include;
* Neoprene bag with a belt clip. The practical and weatherproof custom-made cover for the player is fixed to a belt or clothing and guarantees optimal freedom of movement.
* The Sennheiser stereo headphone MX 400 (Pen Drive Optimised)
* The MAGIX software mp3 maker SE which makes installing and managing your own music collection child's play.
* The package also includes a CD-ROM with multi-language user manual and drivers, a short version of instructions.
