Bose has introduced the SoundDock Series II digital music system—a speaker system for the iPod and iPhone that combines the same small size and audio performance as the original SoundDock system, with an enhanced look and added functionality. It’s the first “Works with iPhone” certified SoundDock system from Bose.
The system features a new auxiliary input that lets users connect other audio devices, such as an MP3 player, portable CD player or music-enabled phone. It provides” dock-and-play” and will charge an iPod or iPhone while in use. No additional setup is required. An included infrared remote controls the system and basic iPod and iPhone functions, including playlist navigation, from across the room. Volume controls are located on the unit.
The design of the SoundDock Series II system has been updated to more closely resemble the lines of the Bose SoundDock Portable digital music system. It maintains a small footprint, measuring just 6 5/8 inches high by 12 inches wide and only 6 1/2 inches deep.
The system incorporates Bose proprietary acoustic design and signal processing. The SoundDock Series II system works with the iPhone 3G and original iPhone models. It also works with most iPod models, including the iPod touch and any iPod featuring a click wheel, including all nano, mini, photo, video and classic models.
The SoundDock Series II system will be available in Gloss Black from Bose for US$299 beginning in early September. It will be sold at authorized Bose dealers, Bose retail stores, online at the Bose web site and toll-free at 1-800-444-BOSE (2673).
