LAS VEGASJan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Monoprice, a leading online retailer offering high-quality and affordably priced consumer electronics and accessories, today announced  the latest additions to its leading 3D printing, Smart Home, Monolith, and Workspace categories. The suite of new products, ranging from high-tech workstations to headphone amplifiers, new cable and audio technologies and more, will be on display at The Venetian Las Vegas during the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Monoprice continues to defeat the unfair cost mark-up that has long plagued the consumer technology market, by delivering high-quality products across flourishing segments where consumer demand is rapidly growing. Its suite at The Venetian will feature numerous product stations built around the following product categories:

Smart Home

3D Printing
Building off of the success of the Maker Select Mini V2 – the No.1 selling 3D printer in the world – and Monoprice’s rapid ascent to the No.1 3D printing company worldwide, the brand is continuing to introduce new 3D printers to sustain its place as a category leader, with offerings priced dramatically below industry standards. The following printers will be on display:

  • MP Delta Pro –  dominates the category with a 270mm diameter x 300mm height build volume, and allows users to print up to 3 times faster with silent drivers, a touchscreen, auto leveling, and WiFi compatibility for remote management or print queuing.

  • Monolith Turntable ($249.99) – premium components and construction combine for a pure analog, warm listening experience that brings out the best in vinyl through a balanced straight tone arm that utilizes the AT100E dual moving magnet phono cartridge.
