Surround Sound Comes to your iPhone Thanks to JVC’s New XS-SR3 Speaker System

Get ready to get some unbelievable sound from your iPhone, Hong Kong.

JVC Hong Kong has introduced a new desktop iPhone/iTouch speaker system that promises to rock your world with their new XS-SR3 Portable Audio System. Although a speaker docking system for the iPhone isn’t anything new, this quaint device is the first to offer a DSP Front Surround Speaker system. The XS-SR3 also includes a rotating docking cradle that allows you to browse your iPhone/iTouch vertically, and can also be rotated 90 degrees to let you watch your stored movies and video clips at your leisure.

The XS-SR3 has a great sound quality for such a little system; the timbre is vibrant and the bass throaty. The unique tubular design makes the system extremely eye-catching with its sleek curving body.

The XS-SR3 basic specifications are:

• 5W Total Power (2.5W x 2)
• Vertical/Horizontal Rotational Dock for iPod for Audio and Video Playback
• Surround Sound with Analogue Audio in/Digital Audio in (2ch)
• Quality Sound Speakers with Neodymium Magnets
• Dimensions: W390 x H103 x D136mm
• Weight:(Without Batteries) 0.55Kg.

Standard accessories include an AC adaptor and remote control. The JVC XS-SR3 has a suggested retail price of HK$990.

There is an alternative speaker system that comes without the docking cradle for use with desktop computers and laptops. The system uses a single USB connection for both the power supply and audio, reducing the need for extra cables and audio jacks. The JVC XS-SR1 has a suggested retail price of HK$790 and provides the same audio quality as the XS-SR3.

The XS-SR1 basic specifications are:

• 5W Total Power (2.5W x 2) with AC Adaptor
• 1.5W Total Power (0.75W x 2) with USB Power Supply
• Front Surround by DSP
• Surround Sound with USB & Analogue/Digital Audio in (2ch)
• Quality Sound Speakers with Neodymium Magnets
• Dimensions: W390 x H88 x D136mm
