Sound it out, Intempo launches a compact, stylish dock & speaker system which must be heard!

The iDS-05 is the latest docking station and 2.1 speaker system to launch from Intempo. Compatible with the iPod family and MP3 players, this sleek, neat system is available now in high gloss white or piano black from Argos, Comet, Dixons and Amazon.co.uk priced at £59.99.

Appearances can be deceptive, so don’t be fooled by the iDS-05’s compact exterior as the 15watt stereo speakers and powerful 9watt subwoofer provide high quality audio output, at all levels. Opt to operate manually or with the supplied 12 key remote. In addition to the basic play, pause, fast forward and rewind functionality, the slim line remote will adjust the treble and bass and has a sophisticated menu button which will allow you to directly access your iPod listings and select your music.

The iDS-05 is a solid, but petite 230 x 122 x 940mm. The interchangeable dock adapters and 3.5mm stereo line-in mean the unit is compatible with iPod*, MP3 players and other audio devices. The built-in dock will play, charge and synchronise your tunes and the USB port enables easy connection to a Mac or PC to ensure your music or photo library is always updated.

“The iDS-05 is the ‘big brother’ of Intempo’s market leading iDS-01 dock and speaker system,” said Katie Richards, Marketing Manager at Intempo.

“The sound quality on the iDS-05 is very impressive for such a compact unit, whether it’s at low volume or creating some noise, making it ideal for taking away on holiday. The super stylish look and competitive price means it is also affordable as a second music system for the kitchen or bedroom at home.”
