Altec Lansing’s Octiv 650 iPhone / iPod speaker dock does video out, brings new meaning to Mood lighting
Posted in: peripheral, Today's Chili
It ain’t drastically different than Altec’s iDevice speaker docks from earlier in the year, but if you’re looking for a living room peripheral that’ll output video from your iPod touch or iPhone, the outfit’s Octiv 650 is certainly worthy of consideration. Ditching iPad support in favor of a cleaner, more compact design, this particular sound dock features a component / composite output as well as one other trick — support for the free Music Mood app. Put simply, it’ll pipe hallucinogenic visualizations onto your screen, all while cranking out the jams through a pair of three-inch, full-range drivers and a nested 4-inch subwoofer. We’re told that YouTube and Netflix output is a go, and there’s an auxiliary port thrown in for those pals who wander over with the worst-named PMP of all time. Check it next month for a nickle under $200, and start mulling the most important decision of all right now: black… or slate?
