Why should all the music you’ve stored on your Apple iPod stay stuck inside your head? Altec Lansing’s new inMotion iM7 Portable Speaker System brings out-loud firepower to the iPod, iPod mini or iPod photo, along with the ability to run on batteries for use anywhere.
The iM7 Portable Speaker System is a sleek, cylindrical, white and silver “mobile home” for the iPod. It packs in two 1” tweeters, two 3” mid-range drivers, a 4” side-firing subwoofer and a 4” passive radiator. These components combine with high-efficiency digital amplification technology and an XdB onboard digital signal processor.
While the iM7 carries Apple’s new “Made for iPod” certification, it can also double as a speaker system for other devices. The unit comes with an auxiliary 3.5mm input that permits connectivity to CD and MP3 players, portable DVD players, TVs or VCRs, plus a headphone jack for private listening.
The iM7 Portable Speaker System is available at Apple stores and at www.alteclansing.com at a price of $249.95. The product measures 6.5” x 16.75” x 6.5” and ships with a power supply and international plug set. Eight D batteries are required for battery operation.
