Klipsch iGroove SXT update

November 11, 2009 — Article

Klipsch has updated its iGroove iPod dock music system to accommodate all the latest innovations from Apple, including the iPhone.

Like the original, the refreshed iGroove SXT employs dual long-throw 2.5in woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 19mm horn-loaded tweeters. However, the SXT is now bi-amplified, so each driver is individually amplified in an attempt to reduce distortion. Klipsch has also re-tuned the bass ports on the sides of the system to reduce “port noise.”

The new iGroove SXT will play and charge any iPod with a 30-pin connector and has passed Apple’s “Works with iPhone” certification. It’s also been certified ‘WWi’, which means it has gone through mobile phone radiation testing, certifying that a minimal amount of phone-related noise is audible.

The shuffle and other digital devices connect via a rear auxiliary input, while an S-video output allows you to view videos on your TV. Klipsch also claims that the iGroove SXT is the first iPod speaker dock to include a 1000mA rapid charge circuit, which allows you to quickly recharge your iPod, iPod touch or iPhone.

Available in a black finish with a silver trim and black cloth grille, the new-version iGroove is on sale now at the same price as the original, £130.
