World's First iPhone Speaker Dock Eliminates Audio Buzz

by Ian Rowan on January 8, 2008 at 10:05 AM


For that annoying, crackly interference noise many iPhone users hear when docking into standard iPod speaker dock system, Altec Lansing has figured out a solution: The new "Works with iPhone" T612 speaker system builds upon the audio prowess of the M602 powered audio system for iPods, while adding GSM (Global System for Mobile communications, or cellular network that AT&T runs on) shielding to its speakers. We'll have to see just how well this works when we get some hands on, but the system is said to eliminate buzzing and cracking speakers when calls or text messages come in to your snazzy iPhone.

But this iPhone speaker dock is even smarter: When a phone calls come in, the T612 pauses your music during your phone conversation and then automatically begins playing where you left off when you re-dock the iPhone.

The T612 will be out this February for the reasonable price of $199.95 from Apple retailers and AltecLansing.com.
