Why was the iPort developed?
We feel that the Apple iPod is a product phenomenon that is changing how people organize
and listen to their music. Our specialty is to provide solutions that integrate exceptional audio/
video into the home.
What is the benefit of the iPort?
It provides a convenient, safe dock for the iPod making it easy to use and connects to any
audio or video system without unsightly wires.
Who is iPort – I have never heard of that brand name?
We are a division of Sonance. Sonance was started over 20 years ago by two young men right
out of college – Geoff Spencer and Scott Struthers. They developed the first high-fidelity in-
wall speaker for custom installation into luxury homes. Since then Sonance has grown to be
known as an innovator and leader of the custom installation audio/video industry.
Is iPort a licensee of Apple?
Yes, we are excited that we are partnering with Apple for the iPort and other future products.
We are a ‘Made for iPod’ licensee.
