Philips reveals an updated series of docking speakers for use with the latest iDevices armed with Lightning connectors-- one offering speakers in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The biggest of all is the Urban Micro System (DCM3155), a tower-shaped all-in-one sound system designed to fit in most spaces. As well as a Lightning connector it includes a CD player, FM radio and up to 50W RMS of music power.
Another all-in-one system is the Lifestyle Music System (DCM2067), a more traditional-looking dock with retractable Lightning connector, CD player and FM radio. A pair of speakers speakers provide 20W RMS of power.
Philips also caters for customers on the move with the Portable Docking Speaker (DS7580). Looking like a hockey puck, it carries Philips wOOx technology promising rich and deep bass and a built-in battery Philips claims provides up to 8 hours of music.
Meanwhile the Room to Room Docking Speaker (DS3205) takes elements from the Fidelio range, chiefly the design and high-quality neodymium speakers.
Concluding is the Bedroom Docking Speaker (DS1155). It has a 360-degree design Philips says provides omnidirectional sound, a clock display users can sync with that of their iDevice, and a USB port allowing the charging of a second mobile device.
Philips gives no word of the European availability of the above-mentioned speakers, which should launch in the US sometime during December 2012.
