Princeton iPod Jive Box Boasts ClassHD Amplifier, Humdrum Styling

Japanese company Princeton have announced their latest iPod dock, the Princeton Jive Box, which sports 2.1 channel sound delivered by a ClassHD amplifier offering a not unimpressive 90W of output, an integrated video out connection – for watching iPod video content or photos on your TV – as well as a USB connection (ofr direct connection with your PC/Mac) and a remote.

Featuring a upwards pointing subwoofer, the Princeton Jive Box, whose design, it has to be said, verges on the wholly mundane, also comes with an internal LED array which serve to light a strip around the unit in one a series of colours which, apart from striking us as somewhat tacky, leads us to another observation – and that is the apparent quality of finishing (see detail below) which, if a true representation of the product leaves a great deal to be desired.

The Princeton iPod Jive Box is set to being shipping in Japan for ¥24,800 (roughly t$260/€207/£175 as at the time of writing).
