JVC has launched a new line of home and portable audio products that offers easy integration of Apple iPod® digital audio players as well as other brand's flash audio players. The new line includes a pair of stylish compact desktop systems and two portable units, including a sleek AC/DC boombox with an iPod dock.
JVC’s new Made for iPod product line includes the NX-PS1, an ultra-compact desktop system with a matching subwoofer.
The new JVC NX-PS1 is a desktop audio system for playing back music files from portable players. It includes three diminutive cubes – a center unit and two matching speakers, each measuring about four inches all around. There’s also a powered subwoofer – a nine-inch cube with a six-inch (16cm) driver. It features an iPod connection that offers iPod charging and control of play, stop, skip and volume. It also features USB Host, allowing playback of files from many flash audio players or flash memory drives (WMA and MP3 files). In addition, it offers JVC’s USB Audio function for direct connection to a personal computer (Windows or Mac) for playback of music files through the NX-PS1. Power output is 10 watts per channel for the main system, while a 30-watt amplifier powers the subwoofer.
Other features include an auxiliary input for connecting other playback devices, clock/timer, wake-up volume, electronic bass and treble controls, headphone jack and four preset equalization settings. The main unit is white with a black display area, while the speakers are white with black grills. The matching subwoofer is black on all four sides with a white base and cap. An iPod stand and a remote control are included.
The NX-PS1 system will be available this month for $249.95.
