Introducing the stereo for the new century. With several patents pending, iPod Hi-Fi features innovative acoustic design wrapped inside a striking form factor. And as your ears will attest, good things really do come in small packages.
Rock-solid enclosure
The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. Listen as your music pours out of a double-walled plastic shell designed for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance — two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous sound without buzzing and clatter.
The right balance
iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound across the frequency range. The result of numerous rigorous acoustic tests, this design delivers room-filling stereo imaging. The two 80 mm wide-range cones are set in dedicated chambers and isolated on the front plate, providing mid and high frequencies that sound vivid and bright. The natural bass of iPod Hi-Fi is generated by a 130 mm woofer. Thanks to the airtight sealing, the low frequencies are enriched inside the enclosure and then directed via tuned tubes through ports in the front.
Energy bar
No need to find a place to hide an unsightly power brick, as iPod Hi-Fi houses all power components internally. Or run iPod Hi-Fi on six D-cell batteries1. Either way, it plays your music with big, warm sound. In DC mode, custom electronics manage the energy to enhance battery life and sound, even adjusting volume as necessary. And iPod Hi-Fi will charge your iPod from its batteries when the iPod runs low.

Elements of Great Sound
iPod Hi-Fi helps you achieve audio enlightenment through:
- Large soundstage: iPod Hi-Fi brings audio tracks to life with convincing, enveloping sound — almost as if the performers are standing in your living room.
- Precise imaging and separation: Close your eyes. With iPod Hi-Fi, you can ‘picture’ the relative placement of each instrument or voice in space. Every instrument or voice — even in complex, polyphonic pieces — sounds clear, discrete, and uncrowded.
- Wide frequency range: iPod Hi-Fi accurately reproduces the lowest cello notes and the highest piccolo notes; the brittle strum of an acoustic guitar and the powerful thump of a driving bass.
- Room-filling power without distortion: iPod Hi-Fi combines power and volume with acoustic clarity to produce clean, clear sound with very little distortion, even at high volume.
iPod Hi-Fi Placement
iPod Hi-Fi provides warm and vivid sound right out of the box. Just follow a few simple guidelines to ensure the best performance.
- Place iPod Hi-Fi on a stable, hard surface, away from floor and ceiling.
- Center iPod Hi-Fi between side walls for correct stereo imaging.
- Give iPod Hi-Fi room to breathe on all sides.
- Place iPod Hi-Fi at ear level.
