Stem Innovation Tandem Switches Channels, Compliments Macs and MacBooks

Your next pair of speakers should be as beautiful and innovative as the MacBook on your desk. Ditch those internal speakers for a pair of Stem Innovation’s Tandem high performance speakers, featuring a channel swap technology that enables the main unit to switch from the right to left channel depending on how you’d like to orient the speakers.

Left handed? Alternate USB placement? There’s freedom to be had with the Tandem, as well as a bass boost thanks to the bass-ports at the back of the unit (very similar to what Creative does with my current T40s). A cloth grill populates the front of the unit, along with easy to use volume buttons and a headphone port so you don’t disturb arriving office workers. These aren’t portable speakers (AC power is required), but the USB connection ensures the digital output from your Mac comes through in high quality to take advantage of the Sonic IQ sound enhancement technology.

Available at an Apple retail store near you, these speaker retail for $99.95 and include everything you need to rock the desk. For more information, be sure to check out the Tandem on Stem Innovation’s product page.
