Behringer unveils 8-foot iNuke Boom iPod dock, goes consumer with Eurosound brand

iNuke Boom

 

OK so we THOUGHT we were going to have the loudest gadgets at CES.  Think AGAIN.  This monstrosity we found on Engadget takes the cake for absurdly large sound docks.  This IS America and things are BIG.

You can probably barely make it out in the image above, but there is actually an iPod touch mounted in that monstrosity. What you’re looking at is the 8-foot wide, 4-foot tall, $30,000 iNuke Boom iPod dock from Behringer. At over 700 pounds and pumping out an inhumane 10,000 watts of deafening audio, the iNuke Boom is ready for its big public debut at the gadget circus that we call CES in January. We just hope that Everki shows up with that giant backpack from 2010′s expo so we can lug home a review unit. Behringer will also be unveiling around 50 new products under its new consumer electronics sub-brand, Eurosound. But, we know you really just want more of the world’s loudest iPod dock (to go along with your World’s Largest Backpack) — so head after the break for another pair of images and some PR.

Optimizing your EQ Settings with iPhone/iPod

If you are an audiophile like we are, then  this article  shows you step-by-step how to modify the EQ settings on your iPhone or iPod to achieve optimal clarity  These settings are typically only found in the iPod Touch, Classic, and iPhone.   This is all info that is readily available in your SkullyBoom SB1 user manual, but who reads it? This not only makes your speaker sounder clearer, but louder, without risking damage to the driver.

Step 4: Select the “Bass Reducer” setting.  This setting is especially useful if you listen to bass heavy music and still want to get the clarity.

Typically we don’t turn our volume up past 95%, and we’ve found that our tunes still hit hard with a nice full range.  Not only will this make your music sound better, but it will prolong the life of your speaker and the run time on your battery so it’s a win, win, win, win, and win.  We also find that performance varies from song to song, so you may also want to play with settings and find what works best for your listening style.
