Yep, another "i" product, from Polk Audio the new Polk I-Sonic entertainment system has just been unveiled. A pretty cool concept, the I-Sonic is a compact stereo audio system that combines AM/FM, Digital HD Radio, and XM Satellite Radio capability with a DVD/CD player.
Meant to be an all-in-one system, Polk's new 4-speaker "I-Sonic" and "Power Port" technologies produce sound quality supposedly so big and lifelike that the I-Sonic is capable of being the primary home entertainment system for many.
Measuring only 14.5" x 9.75" x 4.75", the XM-Ready Polk unit fits nicely on a kitchen countertop, nightstand, in a TV stand or on the coffee table in a living room. This I-Sonic is satellite radio enabled with XM's Connect-and-Play technology - get a $50 XM antenna and you're good to go.
But there's more goodies than just audio. Because the Polk Audio I-Sonic entertainment system is also the first product of its type to incorporate a DVD player. When connected to a TV or monitor, it is a complete, high performance audio/video entertainment system. The single disc DVD player plays DVD video discs, CDs, Picture CD, Video CD, MP3 CD and many other formats. S-Video and composite video outputs to are provided to hookup to video displays.
The I-Sonic will be available in September 2005 for $599.
