Ultimate Ears Introduces Drippy UE ROLL 2

Ultimate Ears today announced the first artist edition UE ROLL 2 speaker, Drippy UE ROLL 2, designed by renowned American artist Jen Stark. Created to celebrate the relationship between movement and sound, the limited edition Drippy UE ROLL 2 was inspired by prismatic colors and nature.

Using her vivid imagination to transform materials into fantastic, intricate works of art that mesmerize the eye, Stark’s Drippy UE ROLL 2 patterns mimic the repetitive layers of plants, as well as the geometric framework she finds in the universe. In her work, she explores the juxtaposition of contrasting colors and repetition that give the impression of movement and vibration.

“There’s no doubt that music brings movement to a moment,” Stark said. “For this ‘Drippy’ design, I wanted to give the impression of sound becoming an oozing liquid, dripping down the surface of the speaker and leaving its mark on a moment.”

Thanks to the speakers’ fabric skin, Ultimate Ears has been able to create more than 50 artist and custom-edition speakers – an unmatched level of customization. In addition, Ultimate Ears’ speakers provide insane personalization features through the app, such as sharing DJ capabilities with your friends and tailored sound levels to fit your preferences.

“Jen’s works of art are undeniably one-of-a-kind and in line with Ultimate Ears – her work is at the forefront of pop-culture and a statement of expression,” said Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “Your favorite song can captivate your ears, as Jen’s colorful creations captivate your eyes. Bringing the two together as Drippy UE ROLL 2 is the perfect marriage of sound and sight.”

Stark’s designs can be seen in a variety of venues from the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Permanent Collection, to the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, to Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’s “Lighter” music video and, now, on the acoustic skin of UE ROLL 2.

The Drippy UE ROLL 2 Limited Edition speakers are expected to be available in North America, Australia and some select countries in Europe beginning July 2016, with a price of $99.99.
