AktiMate Mini iPod Speakers

Now that the iPod speaker scene is coming of age, we're starting to see more well-regarded hi-fi companies join the party, with players like B&W and Meridian setting the bar high for design and performance. Creek Audio and Epos both have strong...

The AktiMate Mini is a powerful, dynamic sound system that’s easy to use, has a small footrprint, and a sharp design. You can’t ask for too much more than that. Of all the iPod/PC-oriented speaker systems I’ve heard over the last few years, this one...

Epoz AktiMate Mini

The AktiMate Mini is an Australian-designed iPod dock that offers the best stereo sound we've heard in one of these systems.

Best stereo image in its class ; Detailed sound ; CD input and 3.5mm jack ; Excellent build quality

Fussy about positioning ; Remote control is basic and unreliable

The AktiMate Mini is a well-built and attractive stereo iPod dock. If you like to hear intricate details in your music and don't much care for bombast then the Mini is one of the best sounding docks for the price. Add a decent subwoofer, give it some...

AktiMate Mini active iPod speakers

The AktiMate Minis have everything going for them — simplicity, heritage and performance. And they're even Australian.

Consider the youth of today heading off to college. Computer, iPod, AktiMates, and they’re done. Consider the cluttered office with no room to shelve a whole hi-fi system — iPod, AktiMates, and you’re done. And you can’t even call them a small-room...

Consumer review (cnet.com.au)

"Nice design, powerful - but horrible hiss!"

I bought a pair of these 6 months ago and put them on my desk as PC speakers. They have a great sound and handle most genres pretty well. I do like a bit of thumping bass for house music, and find the Akitmate's lacking only slightly in that department.

Nice design, powerful, convenient

Hiss/buzz like crazy, picks up radio frequencies

Very pricey for a not-so good quality product.

Powerful and loud

Sometimes sound quality gets buzzy, when loud or soft

Epoz Aktimate Mini

For desktop speakers they re brilliant if you have the room. I don't find that the bass booms at all and I have them about 4 inches from rear walls. They go quite load. Downside is that they are a littel big for a desk but a price to pay for sound...

Lack of speaker grill on the base unit is s bit ugly.
