Altec Lansing inMotion MAX iMT702 iPod Dock

15 Jun, 2009, 12:00 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Docks Docks

The FM Radio comes with quite a long wire which could get in the way if not placed properly. Reception was quite good on an average. Unfortunately you can only select four of our nine radio stations as presets. There’s no room for more. The other five you’ll have to manually track. The dock also supports iPods and of course the iPhone’s Alarm function and Sleep mode.

The remote control, as I mentioned has rather limited features to control the iPod. You can swap playlists and skip tracks or scan through a given audio file easily, but you can’t navigate through to the menus and select specific tracks. I also thought that the remote control had backlit keys. If it did they didn’t come on. The range for the remote is almost 30 feet.

When connected via DC, the dock will charge your iPod. If left to run on its own power source your player will also do the same. On an average, with a full charge, the iMT702 provided me with just about 3 hours and 10 minutes of juice, give or take a few minutes. That’s not great but it’s not too bad either. The company claimed 3.5 hours.

The Bottom Line
The Altec Lansing iMT702 comes with a price tag of Rs. 11,999 and that’s quite steep. Of course given the fact that it’s a luxury item, I would consider it, but with regard to overall performance, I have to say, it does sound quite good, but there’s plenty of room for more in terms of features as well. There are other choices out there that will offer a little more for quite a bit less.
