JBL ONSTAGE for the iPod
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"Harman Multimedia today debuted JBL On Stage, a desktop speaker station specifically designed for both the iPod and iPod mini. Shown at Macworld Boston in July, On Stage is "the sleekest and highest quality docking spot for iPod, allowing for crisp-sounding tunes, synchronization and charging in one unit. Combined with iPod, On Stage is lightweight, compact and provides rich sound for at-home or at-the-office environments. On Stage also provides power to charge iPod when the system is in 'off' mode." Comprising four Odyssey transducers, On Stage delivers 12 watts of total power and is also equipped with easy-to-use touch volume controls, and additional cables for connecting it with other digital music player devices, CD players and laptop and desktop computers. It is available for $200 through Apple (both retail and online Apple stores) through December."
There seems to be no shortage of speaker systems being announced for the iPod. At about half the price of the Bose Sound Dock it appears to be a great value, but I'm not sure if it will sound even half as good as a nice Bose speaker system (though it might look good as a table center piece). :P
