(Pre-Owned) Apple iPod Hi-Fi Portable Home Speaker With Docking Station, Powerful Bass and Wide Sound (White)

The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. The high-end sound of iPod Hi-Fi pours out of a double-walled plastic shell designed for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance – two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous, unobstructed sound, effectively preventing buzzing and clatter.iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound across the frequency range.

The result of numerous rigorous acoustic tests, this design delivers room-filling stereo imaging. The two 80 mm wide-range cones are set in dedicated chambers and isolated on the front plate, providing mid and high frequencies that sound vivid and bright. The natural bass of iPod Hi-Fi is generated by a 130 mm woofer. Thanks to the airtight sealing, the low frequencies are enriched inside the enclosure and then directed via tuned tubes through ports in the front.

There’s no need to find a place to hide an unsightly power brick, as iPod Hi-Fi houses all power components internally. Or run iPod Hi-Fi on six D-cell batteries. Either way, it plays your music with big, warm sound. In DC mode, custom electronics manage the energy to enhance battery life and sound, even adjusting volume as necessary. And iPod Hi-Fi will charge your iPod from its batteries when the iPod runs low.

In addition to the PC-ABS external housing, the inside of the Hi-Fi is reinforced by a secondary wall made of glass fiber reinforced resin. This creates a low resonance surface and an extremely inert and rigid housing that Apple says is crucial in removing sonic imperfection. All of the drivers here are designed in-house at Apple and handmade. The two 80mm mid range drivers are backed by a sealed enclosure and the 130mm woofer is dual ported using an internal porting system. This thing is built like something out of Stuttgart.

On the back, there’s an audio minijack which also supports optical input via a Mini-Toslink connector.
