JVC SP-A130 iPod speaker
Its been a busy few months for JVC. It wasn’t long ago that they launched the new SP-SC3 and announced the SP-SC4 iPod speaker. Now just a couple of months later we hear that they’re launching the JVC SP-A130 iPod speaker.
Recently, we’ve seen a trend for manufacturers designing iPod speakers especially for iPhones and the Touch, like the Livespeakr, but the JVC SP-A130 has been designed especially with the new iPod Nano 5G in mind, or so JVC tell us.
The SP-A130 is available in 4 Nano 5G colours and there’s a 3.5mm input that you use to connect your iPod Nano or any other audio device of your choice.
The main feature of the SP-A130 is its ’slide’. The SP-A130 is very compact and perfect for taking with you wherever you want to go. To protect the speakers while you’re travelling , the SP-A130 has a sliding action that allows you to slide the 2 speaker drivers inside their compact case for easy transportation.
There’s also a built-in storage area for the connecting cord and the kick stand, so it packs away nice an small.
Another really useful feature is that you’ve got a number of choices for how you’d like to power the SP-A130. You can of course connect the device to a mains power supply, or run the device off 2 AA batteries, but you also have the choice of powering the speakers from the audio device that you’ve connected to it, which sounds like a good idea to me.
If you have a portable or travel speaker, you want it to be as flexible as possible and the power options on this new JVC iPod speaker offer you this, maybe giving it the edge on the likes of the Cygnett Micro.
Verdict – Funky looking travel speaker that looks fun and is easy to carry around.
The JVC SP-A130 has already been launched in Japan and should be available in the US in March 2010 priced at around $30. There is no news yet on when we’ll see it in the UK.
Leave a comment and let us know what you think of the SP-A130 and if you see it available in a UK store, please leave a comment and let is all know. Thanks.
