I’m not going to go into some schpeel about iPod docks and their kind. They’re dime a dozen these days. We’ve already seen the previous model i.e. the Logitech AudioStation Express and of course there are the weird docks out there as well. So we know that the accessories in terms of external speakers for the iPod, range from what you’d expect a normal dock with speakers to look like, to the most bizarre. The AudioStation is one of the more normal looking docks available but is it really normal when it comes to performance? Let’s take a look see. Form Factor I like the design that is the AudioStation. It’s got a really rugged man’s gizmo type of look to it. Sorry ladies no offense meant. I’d much prefer it without the speaker covers though, so the 1 inch hi-def Soft-Dome Tweeters and the 4 inch Long-Throw Woofers are in plain view. It makes it look like one of those really high – powered integrated home systems from Sony or Panasonic. The large and clear display located in front underneath the dock make sit really easy to navigate and change settings using the soft touch keys just below it. The rear is simple. It’s where you’ll find the S-video as well as a composite video out and a 3.5mm auxiliary input socket. There’s also the connectors for the AM radio’s antenna, why incorporate an AM radio when you have an FM radio as well is beyond me. I’m not sure there are to many people out there who even listen to AM anymore. But nevertheless, it’s there along with the FM antenna socket. Both the antennas are provided. What Logitech should have also provided is an RCA or S-video cable. The AudioStation also has a full function remote control. You can skip tracks, fast forward or rewind movies, change radio stations and adjust the settings without having to leave your seat. |
