Designed with an exclusive nine-pin dock for the iPod shuffle, the Sonic Impact i-Pax speaker system is a must for shuffle owners tired of playing second-fiddle in the iPod accessory category. The i-Pax, which comes in a durable hard-cover case, has been designed to high-fidelity standards, with such audio essentials as a digital amp, aluminum cone neodymium drivers that produce unmatched clarity, ported speaker housings, and advanced Maxxbass technology that produces an enhanced bass response while minimizing distortion. The result is the best sound in the iPod shuffle speaker category for a price that won't dent the wallet.
The nine-pin docking connector, meanwhile, tilts up or down depending on which angle is best for accessing the shuffle's controls. More significantly, the dock makes it possible to play, charge, and sync your iPod shuffle in a single handy location. And when you're not using the shuffle, you can stow the device in the built-in storage compartment, which also includes a locking compartment for earbuds.
Perhaps the i-Pax's best feature, however, is the hard cover case, which not only protects your speaker system while traveling but also serves as an audio enhancer. Sonic Impact's engineers took into account the optimal materials, size, and density for a portable speaker case when creating the i-Pax cover. The design encourages the case to act as a speaker cabinet and further enhance the audio output relative to other portable speakers, creating a distinctly superior audio effect. Other details include an auto standby power mode, battery charge display lights, a 3.5 mm auxiliary audio input that connects to other iPods or MP3 players, a handy remote control, and a headphone jack for private listening.
The i-Pax, which runs on either four AA batteries or AC power, measures 8.3 by 2.5 by 4.8 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
