Q-5 iPod Multi Amplifier w/ FM Radio - MSRP US$170.00


Unfortunately this product is no longer available due to the availability of the built-in docking station.

This "Multi-Media" amplifier is truly cute and versatile. You simply cannot ask a device this compact (5.5" D x 7" W x 3" H) to have more features. It won't fit into the chassis anyways :)  How does it sound? Fantastic for multitudes of the price tag :) 

With the Q-5's high quality (as in meets GF's expectations) preamp out feature, you can hook up your iPod to your home audio system. You will also be presently suprised by the quality of the built in amp, although only 2 watts of power, these are very sweet watts and we have used the Q-5 to drive some very large and difficult speaker loads. 

The FM receiver is very strong, picking and locking into stations even without an attena attached. Again, now you can add excellent quality FM to your home audio system if you don't have it already. A very versatile component, designed for your office/desktop/bedroom/kitchen etc audio system, but because if it's high-end design, a nice addition to any high-end audio system.

It works beautifully with the S-1 'Budanath' speakers and has matching appearance too. This combination with the matching sub-woofer is something to hear. It is stunning seasoned audiophiles with it's imaging, soundstage and excellent sound.

Here is the 'massive' Q-5 feature list:

Check behind our big amps

If you are at RMAF 2009 or CES 2010 do check behind our massive big powered amps, I might be running this little Q-5 just for the fun of it :).

I really like this and for the first time in my life have an iPod now and the sound is great when using the iPod/Q-5 as a source.

Cheers,

Ian
