If you think your ipod or Apple Hifi have a digital out, you're dreaming.]]>Aug 17th 2006 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/Aug 17th 2006 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/
This kind of SPL at such low frequencies at the standard distance of 1m from the speaker requires a much larger speaker (say 10"), lots of power and an elaborate case design.]]>Aug 18th 2006 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/This kind of SPL at such low frequencies at the standard distance of 1m from the speaker requires a much larger speaker (say 10"), lots of power and an elaborate case design.

That just isn't true. You can get some pretty insane SPLs out of samll driver if they are effecient and you tune your port and box correctly. There are some THX certified design that use a single 6.5" woofer and achieve 103dB SPL 1 meter. All SPL are 1 meter measurements. You actually have more surface area with two 4" than you do with a 6",

And the iPod does not allow access to Digital Data. The dock output port is analog only. The HiFi has a digital input, but it isn't for iPods. The only way to get a digital out on the iPod would be to access though the USB fucntionality, read the compressed file, and decompress to analog with hardware. (i.e. use the iPod as a USB hard drive). However, then you lose access to the iPod interface.]]>Aug 18th 2006 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/logitech-audiostation-ipod-speaker-systems-announced/
Um, no, area of a circle is Pi*r^2, so two 4" speakers have a surface area of 8*Pi, and a 6" speaker has a surface area of 9*Pi.

the problem i have is that my 60gig ipod with an iskin protector over it doesn't fit in the supplied black plastic dock.

i just sit the ipod in the slot with the rubber layer still around the ipod, it works fine but puts all the weight on the metal connector.

i still have to take my ipod out of the outer hard protective layer. anyone make a holder that allows you leave your ipod in the case?

thanks!]]>Jan 30th 2007 12:24AM
