Add some meat to your sound with the Fatman Red-i

July 22, 2008 by Insider Staff 

Fatman Red-iWhether you’re listening to some old school beats, or just want to add a bit of warmth to your acoustics, Fatman’s valve powered iTube Red-i dock brings your audio to life. Unlike other speaker systems this one perfectly balances analogue with digital so you get the best of both worlds for superior sound quality.

When it’s teamed up with the set of sonically matched speakers you get all the benefit of the warm and rich audio processing that valves bring.

In addition to your standard run of the mill iPod there are additional inputs at the rear, so your other sound sources can partake too, and it will even play nicely with your iPhone.

Top talents
Blast from the past
– Solid state electronics is all very well but sometimes older tech like the humble valve is better, especially for audio.

Perfect pairing – Sonically matched speakers ensure you hear the finest sounds this setup can create for optimum performance.

Retro looks – There’s no escaping the valves poking out the top, giving it an old school look which is certain to be a conversation starter.

Coming out: September

JBL Radial Micro 2.0 – This quirky design doesn’t just pump out audio from all sides but also doubles as a handy carrying handle.
