X-plorer™ MP3 Audio Gallery Guide
The X-plorer™ is the smallest, lightest and most powerful audio player in the world for museum and gallery tours. Our client simply wanted a revolutionary device which would propel them into unassailable market leadership.
The device was one of the first ever commercial audio players to use MP3 technology and is now the player of choice for institutions such as the British Museum, The Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The X-plorer™ packs high-quality audio into an elegant, solid state MP3 player
that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Visitors can either use a
headset or hold the player up to their ear and listen through the self-contained speaker.
