Docking speaker

  

Highlights

 

PureDigital

Advanced PureDigital sound processing technology 

offers vastly superior sound performance compared 

to the conventional analogue audio processing 

technology that is found in docking players that use 

the analogue audio output from an iPhone/iPod. By 

collecting the iPhone's/iPod's digital audio output and 

employing digital processing at each stage of the 

circuit, a much higher Signal-to-Noise ratio is 

produced. The result is unsurpassed sound clarity 

that is in perfect balance.

Optimal acoustic volume

Smart sound design brings you the best bass 

reproduction possible. The acoustic volume 

allocated to each midrange driver perfectly matches 

its acoustic requirements. Low tones come out deep 

and tight – delivering strong and rich bass.

Curved back for better sound

The clean lines and sensuality of the curved back 

cover not only looks fabulous – it also creates a 

more effective structure for acoustics. Carefully 

designed, the curve increases the stiffness of the 

speaker cabinet, dramatically reducing internal 

resonance and resulting in more precise and natural 

sound reproduction. You get to enjoy both lovely 

looking speakers and sensational sound.

Proximity sensor

Most top-grade audiophile appliances allow the 

display to be turned off – for absolute enjoyment of 

music, and for power to be focused on sound 

reproduction. With the proximity sensor feature, 

you can enjoy that too. Walk away and the 

illuminated functional keys automatically dim. When 

your hand draws near, the functional keys light up so 

you can control your music without fuss.
