The Maestro from Vanguard Leisure Ltd. is a simple stereo amplifier with speakers and headphones, offered for use with Amstrad computers. There isn't anything special about it; it doesn't seem to contain any I/O ports or sound generators. A similar package is the Sound Blaster from Siren Software.

Power Supply
The advert claims that "No external power supply needed." Not sure if that means that it uses the CPC's power supply, or that it runs off batteries, or that it includes an internal coal-fired power plant...?
