iPod Speaker System Features
Price (MSRP): $349.95
Leave it to the makers of the first portable iPod speaker system to come up with a mini-theater solution that blows the doors off the competition. The Altec Lansing iMV712 inMotion speaker/video system boasts a pair of specially engineered, 3-inch neodymium speakers and a built-in, 4-inch side-firing subwoofer, which team up to deliver a full spectrum of pure, distinct sound with exceptional low frequencies. The resulting immersive audio is further heightened by Altec Lansing's Stereo Field Expander (SFX), which makes the speakers sound further apart than they really are--a must when watching movies with dramatic soundtracks. Speaking of movies, the iMV712 makes video come alive thanks to the high-resolution, widescreen 8.5-inch LCD display located between the speakers. Simply plop any iPod in the built-in docking station--the unit works with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo, iPod video 5G/5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G--and you can enjoy everything from obscure indie movies to your favorite TV shows to the latest Shins song.

As with the best portable mini-theater systems, the iMV712 works with more than just iPods, with a universal cradle that fits other brands of music and video players and an auxiliary A/V input for connecting a second device, such as a camcorder, CD player, digital camera, or portable DVD player. And thanks to the wireless remote control, it's a breeze to control your iPod and speakers from across the room. Other details include a built-in alarm (requires iPods with alarm and sleep timer features), an S-video output for connecting to a TV, and an elegant black housing that looks great anywhere in the home.

The iMV712 measures 18.5 by 7.7 by 8.2 inches (W x H x D), weighs 8.4 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.

Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Audio System iPod Speakers E-mail

iPod Speaker System Features
Price (MSRP): $129.99
Everyone loves Apple's portable iPod digital music player, and taking music with you on the road can be a life saver. But you probably don't always feel like putting your headphones on, especially once your back at your hotel room--or if you're organizing the garage or simply making dinner. Altec Lansing has created a headphones-free portable listening alternative: the inMotion powered speaker system, the first portable audio system designed expressly for use with iPods.

With its compact design, ultra-low battery power consumption, powerful class-D amplifier, patented MaxxBass technology, and even a built-in iPod dock, inMotion gives you performance you'd never have thought possible from a portable audio system. inMotion features four full-range, custom-designed neodymium micro drivers (two per speaker) for clear audio output. Using principles borrowed from the professional audio world, inMotion also delivers incredible, natural-sounding bass at frequencies far below those normally possible from small speakers.

No bigger than a trade paperback book, inMotion turns your iPod into a platform for convenient, headphone-free listening any time, any place. Its sound quality rivals that of systems many times its size. Sleek in design like the iPod itself, the inMotion system matches the iPod color scheme and features a built-in docking bay located between its speakers.

When docked inMotion's iPod bay, your music player can perform all the same data transfer and synchronization functions possible via Apple's standard, free-standing iPod dock. inMotion even takes advantage of iPod's alarm feature to create a fully-functioning alarm clock that plays wake-up music of your choice--perfect for travel or dormitory use.

Other convenient features include a minijack .125-inch headphone jack for private listening; an auxiliary stereo minijack input for hookup with other audio devices such as portable CD players, laptops, older iPods, and other MP3 players (an interconnect for this purpose is included), and built-in, flush-mounted power and volume controls.

The secret to inMotion's strikingly deep bass is a combination of specially designed neodymium micro drivers and MaxxBass technology. Founded on the principle of the "missing fundamental," MaxxBass generates a specific set of harmonics in response to bass input; the brain then interprets these harmonics as the intended bass sound. The technique is used in commercial audio systems for restaurants, high-end retail environments, clubs, and other venues where exceptional fidelity is essential, but where large speakers or subwoofers are impractical.

inMotion's Class D amplification provides maximum sound with minimum power consumption. Smaller, cooler, and more efficient than other amplifiers, inMotion's onboard amp can support up to 24 hours of continuous playback on just four AA batteries (not included). For desktop or other indoor use, inMotion also includes an AC power supply that recharges the iPod anytime it sits in the inMotion docking bay.

 

What's in the Box
inMotion sound system, a .125-inch minijack-to-minijack stereo analog audio interconnect, a protective case, 10 GB/15 GB iPod docking spacer, a docking connector travel cover, an iPod-charging AC power adapter, a user's manual, a quick-connect card, and warranty information.

iPod Speaker System Features
Price (MSRP): $579.99

As the first iPod-dockable home stereo system on the market, the award-winning iFi combines audiophile-quality performance with aesthetic flair. This iPod speaker is perfect for use in a den, bedroom, office or dorm room, this sub/sat setup includes a dock cradle and long-range radio frequency remote.

The iFi works with most dockable iPods, including the iPod mini, iPod Nano, and iPod video. Early 1G/2G iPods and iPod shuffles can't be docked, but can connect via the audio port on the rear of the dock or subwoofer.

Each self-standing or wall-mountable RSX-3 satellite (includes two) is a two-way, magnetically shielded speaker that employs a 3.5-inch aluminum woofer and a 0.75-inch titanium dome compression driver coupled to an exclusive round MicroTractrix™ Horn.

The 8-inch subwoofer, designed specifically for this system, has a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 200 watts of peak system power to successfully drive all the channels. It also features a slot port and line level input. A unique tuning approach is used to achieve a sound character typically found in much larger subwoofer boxes.

Generating the most buzz in iPod circles, the dock cradle provides a volume dial, standby/mute button, volume/subwoofer select button and a light bar to help indicate the current volume level. When your iPod is in the dock cradle, it provides a line-level audio signal to the iFi, and the iFi returns the favor by charging the iPod.

The radio frequency remote can send signals through walls and floors and up to six remotes can be used to control the iFi and a docked iPod from virtually anywhere in the home.

Klipsch was founded in 1946 on a deep-rooted love of music and it's this ongoing passion that allows us to continue to develop products, such as the iFi, that excite and engage listeners.
