Altec lansing inmotion im3 black edition

Another improvement is the carrying bag—it now can hold both the speakers and the AC adapter. Controls are right in front of the dock connector. Three ports are located on the rear: AC power, auxiliary in, and a connection for the Apple Dock Connector. Unlike the inMotions, there is a power switch to completely turn off the system on the back, but no headphone jack.

The intent of the auxiliary input is for older iPods without a dock connector a small cable is included to connect those , laptops, other MP3 players, or anything else that can be connected to regular speakers. The iM3s are incompatible with many iPod cases, just as a regular dock is. Owners of iSkin cases will find it annoying that pulling the case back as suggested for use with a dock will not work with the iM3s. The speakers are restricted to being on either side of the iPod, so the stereo separation is not the best.

In our listening tests, we found the iM3s to be satisfactory for most, but audiophiles might be quite annoyed. Although no competition for many of the midrange 2. There is a noticeable difference when playing these next to their predecessors. The iM3 also comes with an international power adapter for when you're traveling outside of the U. The system folds flat for travel, taking up little more space than a paperback book. Its soft travel case is padded, and comes with a small compartment so you can take the remote along with the system.

The inMotion's speakers 60Hz to 20kHz, 75dB signal-to-noise ratio sound about as good as a solid clock radio: that is, not bad but lacking in earth-shaking bass and the high-end sound that makes dogs howl.
