The dock consists of a base unit 14 and a separable portable unit 12. The portable unit comprises: a docking station (28) for an external audio source such as a portable MP3 digital music player (e.g. Apple iPod (RTM)); loudspeaker(s) (38, 40, 42); electronic interface(s); and the necessary audio circuitry. The base unit comprises further loudspeaker(s) (68), and electronic interface(s) (44) mate-able with those of the portable unit (36). Typically, the loudspeaker(s) of the base unit will have a lower frequency response than those of the portable unit, and will possibly include a bass reflex air vent (70). The invention provides for a range of loudspeakers to provide a high quality audio output, but which can be converted to a portable apparatus by detaching the base unit, and accepting the sound quality available from the loudspeaker(s) therein. |
