Since the launch of Apple iPod, a number of accessories have been launched in the market including iPod docks and speaker combinations. Following the trend and competition, Samson has also launched a new and awesome set of small, yet powerful speakers, optimised for the iPod and called Studio Dock 3i Active.

The Studio Dock 3i has a built-in iPod dock, two analogue audio inputs and a USB interface. On its top, the Studio Dock 3i Active has got an iPod dock which is designed as per the Apple’s universal design, so that you can connect any iPod, including the Apple iPod nano to it. Both the speakers sound incredibly good. In order to increase the bass response there are open ports at the back of each of them.

The best part of this system is its multitude of connectivity options. Unlike other iPod docks, it hosts variety of interfaces and ports. On the front side you will find a 1/8-inch stereo input jack and a mini plug headphone jack. Whenever the headphones are connected, the main speakers automatically mute. On its rear side there is a USB 2.0 port, a set of left/right RCA inputs, one power jack, power switch and a voltage selector which is set at optimum mode by default. According to Samson the total frequency response of the speakers is 80Hz to 23 kHz. Each channel has a power of 15 Watts.
