524541876

Audyssey has taken their experience creating dynamic sound technology, and created their first iPod dock. The South of Market audio dock for iPod and iPhone features two tweeters and two woofers powered by four amplifiers, providing you clear, dynamic sound. An internal DSP chip creates balance normally found only in top of the line audio receivers. Bluetooth technology, and two built-in microphones make this dock anything but normal.

What will your dock sound like?

Sound isn't just part of the question when it comes to choosing an iPod dock. Sound is the whole question. The South of Market sound dock from Audyssey takes inspiration from its namesake by making sure that the eclectic and sometimes chaotic nature of sound finds a sense of harmony and style through its speakers. Featuring two 0.75" tweeters, two 4" woofers, and four separate amplifiers to reduce noise and crossover, the South of Market iPod dock offers incredible sound quality that can easily fill a room, or just provide background. A unique DSP chip, normally found only in high end receivers, allows the Audyssey sound dock to take advantage of advanced sound processing. Dynamic EQ balances sound at lower volume levels, while Dynamic Volume keeps your audio level, even if the audio files aren't. Bass XT enhances the full spectrum of bass for deep, rich sound. The Audyssey tilt switch lets you quickly adjust your levels, letting you choose more highs, or more lows. The slim South of Market sound dock makes sure that all your audio sounds good, no matter what your style happens to be.

More than a dock

You aren't just limited to docking with the South of Market sound dock. Built-in Bluetooth syncing let you use your iPod or iPhone once it's finished charging, and keep the music going. A free iPod app gives you unprecedented control over your audio, giving you the ability to adjust sound levels and balance. You can even sync it to your home computer, Mac or PC, and stream audio directly it, making it a great option as a computer speaker. Two built-in front and rear microphones also let you take advantage of voice-over-IP calling via Skype, or your iPhone. The South of Market sound dock goes beyond what you expect from an iPod dock.

I went out on a limb buying this Ipod dock without first hearing it, and I'm glad I did. For its size and WAF, this little dock really puts out good sound. My wife wouldn't let me put speakers and an integrated amp in our bedroom, so I was trying to find a good alternative that she would accept. I was considering the B&W Zeppelin, but its size was still too much for my wife, and thats when I found the SOMA. Its quite compact, but still has 2, 4 woofers, and two separate tweeters. Audysseys use of sound processing has really helped the bass response out in such a small package, and the overall sound quality is excellent. It also puts out enough volume to easily fill a good sized room. The sound is excellent across the entire sound spectrum. It does fall a little short with stereo separation since the speakers are so close together, but I think you would need two separate speakers to do better. I'm certain that this is one of the best sounding ipod docks on the market. I'm using an older 5th gen ipod, and it will still works with it although it won't controll the ipod with the remote like it will the newer ipod models, and the 3.5mm accessory cable works well with my Sony player. It also works as an external speaker for a computer, but you have to use a 3.5mm jack for this. I was hoping that it would work as an external DAC through the USB, but the USB jack is only used to sync your ipod with your computer. As far as the bluetooth connection, I'm very impressed! It synced with my Droid phone very easily, and the sound quality for bluetooth is good not as good as a direct connection, but the direct connection sound is excellent, so its hard to compare. I used my phone to stream pandora, and didn't have any problems at all. In addition, it works great for calls as well, and its not even designed for the Droid. I can only imagine how well it works with the iphone which it is designed for. As far as build qualiy, this dock is built like a tank. Its 9 pounds, and very solid. The ipod sits very securely on the cradle, and the controls are very intuitive. Because of its weight, its not the most portable speaker, but moving it from room to room wouldn't be too hard. Overall, I think this is an excellent choice of a ipod dock for someone who really values sound quality, but has limitations with space. The extra features on this dock also really increase the value. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. The only thing that I wish it would do that it doesn't is to act as an external DAC for your computer.
