New ipod/ipod mini speaker system, IS-106

I have put a mini review of a Korean company made new speaker system for the ipod and ipod mini on my newly opened website.

Aside from the horrid watermarking, I'd love to see more specs on it. Photos tell me what it looks like, but specs will tell me how it compares to the IM3 system.
Thanks for the photo review.

Ok, here's the spec on the manual.

. Total continuous power : 10W RMS (5W + 2.5W x 2)
. Front Speakers : 2.5Watts/Channel @ 4 ohms, @10% THD + N @20~20kHz
. Subwoofer : 5Watts 4 ohms
. Frequency Response : 100 Hz ~ 20 kHz
. Signal to Noise Ratio @ 1KHz input : > 60dB
. Drivers : Two 2" full range neodymium Micro drivers + 3" speaker

And, it's up to me whether I watermark my pictures or not. If you don't like it, tough.

I've seen this exact same unit being sold under the name iStation? I like the the idea of having a subwoofer...I think I need it. Do you love it? Hows the bass?

The bass is pretty active while playing some hiphop tunes from Swollen Members and such.

Just out of curiosity, I put a kleenex tissue over the bass part and cranked up the volume to see how the tissue would move about. It flew off the bass spot.

I love having that 0.1 LFE, giving music more richness.

I like that set, and it's not too expensive either!

(Oh, and that's a bloody excellent choice of music there minimini)

The speakers seem appealing but I'm more interested in the remote control that was hooked up to your mini.

Where did you get the RemoteRemote2 in Korea and how much was it?

I've tried emailing them but aren't responsive. Any information would be appreciated.

Oh, no. I bought off their official site, engineeredaudio.com ... i think.

It took like 5 weeks in getting shipped to me after putting in my order through their site. Also, they are not too responsive. I guess patience is virtue.

I have a Xbox related site which I made and managed for 2 years. It's in Korean but I've got some pictures of the RemoteRemote2 thingy. The packaging and headphone line-in jack, etc.

Go here and see.

I watermark all my pics. I've been doing that since 1999.

Extremely grateful for the info. From the pictures and comments you posted on your Korean site, I have decided this is the remote that I want but I don't like the idea of waiting 5 weeks for it.

Was there any customs/duties charges added to the delivery?

Also, is there an iPod dedicated forum in Korea?

Thanks for your help.

HAHAHAHAHA ROFL LMAO!!!

Oh, btw martinbj, I did build a site called ipodkorea.com and of which I own. But there doesn't seem to be a big fan base for ipod/ipod mini here.

So, since I didn't get enough hits, I pulled down the site altogether. If you do wish to help me out in running an ipod related site for the Korean market, I'll be glad to rebuild a forum.

And, since the price of RR2 is less then $100, no duties whatsoever!

:cool:

minimini, thanks again for the feedback on my questions.

In terms of timing, I think it would be a good idea to re-start the
site since the iPod is bound to catch on. I've had my iPod for about a month now and it's a great product. I'm pretty much an illiterate in running a website so I don't know how much of a help I can be. But I'm willing to assist in any way I can.

Good to meet a fellow iPoder in Korea.

I really want this, but I need to know if my iskined ipod would still be able to dock to the speakers. Thanks
