Product Information

Pro-Ject's Dock Boxes are the ideal solution to making the iPod part of an audiophile hi-fi system.

Dock Boxes act like a perfect buffer amp for the iPod, lowering the distortion level significantly. After passing an initial amplifier section, the signal is transferred to the hi-fi system with an impedance lower than 15 ohms. This guarantees trouble-free signal transmission with ultra-flat frequency response and offers the best, most cost-effective way to build an audio system around an iPod.

The 'Vi' model stands for 'variable' and employs a built-in volume control for use without a preamplifier. This allows the unit to directly drive a power amp such as the Pro-Ject Amp-Box Stereo. Dock Box Vi is a genuine hi-fi bargain, which offers outstanding sound quality.
