Logitech has extended its line of speakers for the iPod by introducing the mid-range Logitech AudioStation Express portable speakers.
The AudioStation Express speakers run on AC power for use at home, or AA batteries, ideal for use outdoors and sport metal grilles to protect the audio drivers AC power. When powered by the included AC adaptor, the speakers also recharge the iPod battery.
The speaker system supports the Universal Dock Adaptor specification from Apple and current and future iPods with a dock connector on the base will be compatible to play music with the AudioStation Express. Using the system's video output jack, located on the back of the speakers, users can watch their iPod photos and movies on their television. The speaker system also features an auxiliary (3.5 mm) input that allows people to use the speaker system with early iPod models as well as with other audio devices, including CD, MP3 and portable DVD players.
Part of Apple's "Made for iPod" program, the AudioStation Express system is glossy white on all sides with black grilles and ports. The package includes a wireless remote control, that when not in use can be slid into the integrated storage slot on the back of the speaker system.
The Logitech AudioStation Express speakers will be available in the US and Europe in October and will have a suggested retail price of $129.99.
