Music on the Go Go.

ByMike Moffit

Well it’s official: we live in the world of mobile entertainment. DVD players come in cars to entertain the kids and thousands of songs can be stored in a little device that’s remarkably close in size to a cassette tape! When it comes to the iPod, everybody is looking to accessorize. Whether it be a case or a new/different set of headphones, you want something to go with your mystical little box-o-music.

I have found the ultimate accessory. Let me set up a scenario for you–in the coming weeks, it continues to get nicer and nicer outside. You, your friends and family are all going down to the lake for a picnic and party session for the books but realize, “Hey! How are we going to bring our music with us?” I’ll tell you how: the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere.

The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere portable mp3 speaker system is the ultimate in sound and portability for the price your paying. The speaker system itself is no more than 3 inches deep and maybe 5 inches tall. It can play any of the iPods in the current line, excluding the shuffle unless you get an adapter. It has a fairly rich sound for something of its size and with its built in StereoXL technology, one push of a button can enlarge its stereo profile and make the unit sound like one of twice the size.

The unit itself comes in either white or an absolutely fetching black gloss color. It is sold with a wall adapter, remote and case as well as the most appealing aspect of it (drum roll please!): This music machine stands true to the ‘Anywhere’ title due to its built in 10-hour battery life. That’s right, all you have to do is plug it in at night, and by the morning, this little speaker system is ready to go with 10 hours of play time. No more buying loads and loads of batteries to keep your stereo running.

As far as iPod-compatible mp3 playing speaker systems go, the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere is the ultimate in portable technology. Pop on in to your closest Small Dog Electronics and one of our awesome retail staff members can give you a demonstration of how it all works. Hey, you can even bring your own iPod if you want to give it a go! Cheers!

  • M-Audio AV-40 Review

    I’ve put off buying new speakers for months. I just could not justify the expense of them, and did not want to waste money on cheap speakers with poor quality. There had, however, been a set of speakers I’ve listened to and sold extensively in-store that interested me. After moving into my new apartment, I decided my bedroom would not be complete without them.

    I realized that when buying my computer, I put a huge amount of effort into making sure my operation of it went unburdened, but scrutinizing monitors, keyboards, mice and mousepads. But I never considered my ears as important in being one of the senses that uses the computer. Boy was I wrong.

    The Studiophile AV 40s are a set of studio reference monitors sold by M-Audio. As studio monitors, they have a very precise sound that most home computer speakers can’t match, and the clarity is generally botched by cheaper hardware. They also, being more precise, don’t fill a room in the same manner other 2.1 subwoofer/satellite speaker combos do. As M-Audio outlines right in their included comic-book style instructions, there is a very specific way to configure them on your desk based on your room and sitting position. This said, cranking them is certainly capable of filling my entire house with clean, crisp music and decent bass. The AV 40s also sound fabulous on their quietest setting, for listening to podcasts at 7AM when your housemate is asleep.

    Their precision has also led me to turn off my iTunes EQ entirely, I don’t think I’ll ever use it again. Lastly, because they’re so precise, I’m finding that they’re incredibly great for gaming, as they convey the virtual world your mind is struggling to become a part of so well. Sounds like rifle shots are far different than grenades, or a peaceful flowing waterfall, which other speakers can’t put such a space between.

    The packaging is pretty basic, but does the job. I like the minimal, wasteless packaging. M-Audio was also good enough to include rubber pads to adhere to the bottom of them, so they don’t slide on my glass desk. The enclosures are a soft black, with pretty solid mesh protection over the cones. On the front of the left speaker are two jacks, one for aux-in and one for headphones. This way I can conveniently connect a laptop or iPad to them when I want to switch computers. Of course, they’re classy enough to include a blue LED on the volume knob, so they’re a perfect match for my monitor, keyboard and mouse!

    I give these a huge thumbs up.
