Block Rocker Portable iPod PA Party System Not Your Average iPod Dock

We've featured a fair few iPod docks that are somewhat removed from your
otherwise standard iPod docking station - take the AM/FM Construction
Radio iPod Dock and the Inflatable iBig iPod Boombox as but two examples
(though Geneva Lab's Model XL 600W iPod Docking Station is also worth a
mention) - but, if you're looking for the ultimate iPod based PA party
machine the Block Rocker Portable iPod PA System certainly seems to have
all bases covered.Resembling an amp in appearance, the Block Rocker,
which is made from heavy duty aluminium, is billed as being capable of
delivering 'high-fidelity sound to over 150 feet' (though no actual
wattage output is specified, which seems a curious omission), and thanks
to its built-in rechargeable battery can keep your party in full swing
for up to a purported 12 hours between charges.The Block Rocker is
supplied with an integrated universal dock for iPod, iPod Mini, or iPod
Nano, an input for wither a balanced XLR or 1/4 microphone paired with a
1/4″ jack for guitar, keyboard, other instrument, or second
microphone and even comes with an RCA port with which you can connect a
host of external audio equipment such as CD players of other (non-Apple)
MP3 players.Personally I would liked to have seen some specifications
concerning, at the very least, the Block Rocker's output and frequency
range but, then again, the product page is, it has to be said, not
exactly overly forthcoming with detail - which, considering the $300
price tag, means that you'd have to be reasonably happy with being
somewhat in the dark as to what you're buying into to consider it worth
purchasing.
