From Weather Clocks to Bluetooth Alarm Clocks
Accessory Power upgrades its GOgroove line with its first wireless alarm clock

(WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.) – Accessory Power releases its flagship alarm clock to the GOgroove brand: the BlueSYNC TYM. This product marks the first effort for the brand in the alarm clock market, but it remains true to the GOgroove motto since it is a Bluetooth device fueled by latest smartphone technologies. The wooden casing of the BlueSYNC TYM, however, is what truly gives this product its distinctive look and potential to attract notice in a crowded market.

GOgroove, the digital entertainment brand of Accessory Power, is known for its FM transmitters, Bluetooth speakers and wireless earbuds. The GOgroove BlueSYNC TYM (pronounced “time”) fits within the theme of the brand as it is a Bluetooth speaker – users can stream music from their Bluetooth device from up to 30 feet away. As a multi-functional device, the TYM is an alarm clock, it has a weather sensor to display the temperature and there is also a 3.5mm port to play audio from non-wireless devices. It is powered with an included AC adapter.

Over the past three months, Accessory Power has developed its “alarm clock” section; an area that has not been touched in the past. The Bluetooth alarm clock is the first of its kind, but is the third clock introduced by Accessory Power in 2013.The other two clocks – the Memo Clock and Weather Clock – are part of the ENHANCE brand, a selection of accessories that are used to improve or “enhance” the quality of every-day devices.  Both were unveiled during the International Consumer Electronics Show or CES in Las Vegas in January 2013.

The Memo Clock is a blue LED alarm clock that has a glowing memo board. It is operated via USB. There are also four USB ports manufactured onto the back of the device to plug in headsets, keyboards, mice and more. There is also a birthday reminder feature. The Weather Clock has a 24-hour weather forecasting alarm clock. It has a Barometric sensor to tell the indoor and outdoor temperature and it displays the date. It is powered with three AAA batteries or the included AC adapter.  

The wooden-paneled design of the GOgroove BlueSYNC TYM has allowed Accessory Power to showcase its creativity and innovation. While an alarm clock is a daily device, but by adding a new look and feel has made this clock a leading-edge tech-gadget. The Muscleman of Technology, Bruce Pechman, displayed this during his segment on KUSI’s Good Morning San Diego on May 9th 2013.

Accessory Power builds its High-Powered Audio Line
Accessory Power’s BlueSYNC LX is the newest addition to the GOgroove brand

(WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.) – Accessory Power adds the GOgroove BlueSYNC LX to its high-powered audio line. The company has seven brands, but it’s most popular is the GOgroove brand, focused on audio entertainment accessories.

“The BlueSYNC LX is one of our most feature-rich Bluetooth audio systems, with its 2.1-channel speaker system,” explained Alex Rocha, Senior Product Developer. “We think the value and features that the BlueSYNC LX brings to this category will set it apart from competing models.”

The GOgroove BlueSYNC LX has full-range satellite speakers, built-in control hub and LCD screen.  Unlike the smaller-end speakers, such as the GOgroove BlueSYNC SRC or GOgroove Pal Bot, the BlueSYNC LX has a 4-inch high-excursion subwoofer meant to enhance the home audio system.  There is also a remote control and a 3.5mm microphone input to use for karaoke or a PA system. 

Known for its FM transmitters, Bluetooth and wired speakers and headphones/earbuds, the GOgroove brand started in with a pair of headphones. Since then, it has developed into a brand with 55 products. The high-powered audio line began with the BlueSYNC MC released in August 2011.  It has a wood housing and acoustic chamber with on-board controls.  The SonaVERSE EQ followed in February 2013.  Referred to as “bookshelf speakers,” the SonaVERSE EQ is only powered via AC. To complete the hat-trick, the BlueSYNC SLK was also introduced in February 2013. It is capable of streaming wireless music from over 30 feet away.  In March 2013, the BlueSYNC LX was released.

“Over the past few years we’ve been perfecting the ‘compact and portable’ side of our audio line,” said Rocha. “We’ve had a lot of success, so we want to use what we’ve learned from our previous experiences and take GOgroove to the next level.”

Accessory Power will continue to grow its high-powered audio line to cater to consumer demands. The company will also stay focused on building the GOgroove brand as a whole with new innovations, as well as its commitment to the community. Currently, the GOgroove brand supports Pandas International, Panthera, The Fender Music Foundation and the Australian Koala Foundation.

Accessory Power’s donations give Giant Pandas Christmas treats
Accessory Power supports Pandas International to preserve Giant Panda and its Habitat

(WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.) – Accessory Power’s donation of a portion of proceeds from Panda Pal sales to the Pandas International enrichment program provided Giant Pandas with Christmas fruitsicle treats to enjoy over the holiday season. Giant Pandas at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) ate apples, shrub leaves and honey arranged on a cake of frozen fruit in a festive holiday design.

“Pandas International’s supporter Accessory Power made a generous donation so that all the pandas at Bifengxia [Panda Center] branch could have a special treat this holiday season,” said Suzanne Braden, Director of Pandas International. “All 40 of the pandas who received the cakes seemed to greatly appreciate them and we look forward to our continued work with their organization.”

Since August 2011, Accessory Power has supported Pandas International by partnering the popular panda-inspired Panda Pal and Mama Panda Pal speakers to raise awareness and funding for their cause. The organization has used past Accessory Power donated funds to restore bamboo forests. Bamboo forest restoration is significant because bamboo is a key component of a Panda’s diet. It makes up 99% of their food regimen.  Enrichment programs such as this help improve or maintain an animal’s physical and psychological health.

Pandas International, a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit based out of Colorado is dedicated to the “preservation and propagation of endangered Giant Panda.” The organization provides assistance to the CCRCGP by raising funds for research, educating the public, providing medical supplies and food for the animals.

In May 2008, the 7.9 Sichuan earthquake in China devastated the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong. Over four years passed before the center was relocated to Gengda, where it is now part of the Wolong Nature Reserve. Pandas International has been a part of the restoration and relocation of this facility. Its base in Bifengxia was established as a safeguard for the Giant Panda population in Wolong.

 In addition to working with Pandas International, Accessory Power will continue its support of endangered species and wild animals with the upcoming production of the new GroovePal and GroovePal Jr speaker lines.  Both lines feature a redesigned panda as well as an owl, tiger, penguin, polar bear and koala.

Accessory Power prepares for the European Market

With a new warehouse opening in the Netherlands, Accessory Power aims to be a powerhouse in Europe


(WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.) – After a year of preparation and planning, Accessory Power has officially entered the European market with a warehouse in Rotterdam, Netherlands.  The company will start by selling the most popular of its 1000 products and then gradually move into more.


“It has always been my goal to expand the company overseas,” said Accessory Power CEO Robert Breines. “It is a pleasure to release our products to the Europeans.”


Accessory Power is in negotiations with big players in the market to satisfy the demand of its products. To accommodate the size of the area it will be serving, the space is twice the size of any Accessory Power warehouse in the United States.  In latter January 2013, two more warehouses will open: one in France and another in the United Kingdom.  


Eye-catching items like the Solar Restore BST, a solar charger; AudiOHM iDX, noise-isolating headset earphones; and BlueSense TRM, a wireless A2DP Bluetooth transmitter will be some of the items that will kick off the integration.


IFA Consumer Electronics Unlimited show in Berlin that was held in September 2012 was Accessory Power’s most recent trade show appearance in Europe. It was a successful event that brought their products to the forefront.


“IFA proved to me that there was a demand for our products. I am just pleased that 2013 will be the year to showcase them,” said Breines.


For now, Accessory Power’s warehouses will only be used for wholesale distribution.  For further information regarding Accessory Power and its products, visit www.accessorypower.com
