Our top docking station for those on a budget is the trendy in a variety of fashionable colours, from outrageous pink to a bright forest green. Not only does this docking station look good for under £20, its compact nature makes it easy to move about from room to room or even outside (only on sunny days of course!). This small and nifty design also has amazing output for such a small docking station, thus you don’t have to compromise on quality.

What we really love about this docking station is that you can securely connect up Mp3′s, iPods and phones in two dynamic positions with the secure vertical and horizontal holding feature, enabling you to place you digital media device in the best position for you.

Ever thought docking stations look boring? Well the new design will never bore you with its spooky design. Its ghostly image will certainly add a little fun to your living room, as two speaker eyes pop out of the ghostly figure. Moreover, the i-Ghost was designed not just with style in mind, but quality and design. With a total of 3 speakers, the i-Ghost can achieve surround sound specifications at 360 degrees, enabling your music to flow through the entire room.

Unlike most lower end market iPod docks, with the i-Ghost you can connect it up to game consoles and other music sources, enabling you to play from various sources in your house. Thus it can easily be moved around the house using portable and non-potable music sources.  Read more...

I’m not really sure how old I was when I got the gift for Christmas, but I remember thinking it was a pretty impressive piece of electronic hardware. It was really cool looking (technologically speaking), and I was awfully proud to own it. It certainly made for lots of fun times.

What was this high-tech gift, you ask?  Why, it was a tape recorder!  It was a monographic, reel to reel tape deck that came with it’s own plug-in microphone.  I could hold that mic up to my transistor radio’s speaker and record songs onto tape.  I could also play the guitar and sing and record every second of it.  I could even hide and record conversations from unsuspecting family members.  I was in recording heaven! 

Years later I owned an 8 track stereo recording deck (ok, that was a mistake).  At another point in time I had a stereo cassette recording deck that would physically flip the tape over when one side was finished recording or playing.  Now I own a more conventional stereo dual cassette deck, but I no longer use it for recording or much of anything else for that matter.

All my recording is now done on my computer.  The audio and midi software available today for computer recording is quite amazing.  You can record multiple tracks, edit the recordings and add special effects as desired.  Many of the audio recording programs come with their own native special effects such as reverb, compression, flanger, and chorus, to name a few.  Some of the recording software can also accept third party effects such as vocal removers, tube amp effects and many more.  Read more...

The music and sounds that come out of an automobile is called a car audio system and nowadays, there is a never-ending supply of basic modifications to elaborate upgrades to consider. Even now, the stock car audio arrangements associated with manufacturers offer much more than the 8-track and tape cassette players of yesterday. Today, many people hold the audio system of a car in such regard that high-tech customization has become a booming industry.

At the moment, one of the most common and well known components of car audio systems is the head unit, which highlights the radio, tape player, CD player, and DVD capability when applicable. Over the years, the technology of the head unit has become enhanced by the ability to support products and services, such as MP3′s, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.

Most of the modern cars on the market are now outfitted with at least a CD player with the option of a CD changer, which allows users to switch back and forth between multiple disks that are stored in a console or trunk unit. With the advancement of systems for the car, sound now accompanies DVD players and LCD screen features, where movies and music videos can play during travel.  Read more...

Just a short time ago, the term Home Automation was associated with the mansions of the rich and famous, or the home of the future display at a local fair. The first systems were complicated, time consuming to install, and gave new meaning to the word expensive. Oh, how quickly things have changed in this technological age we live in.

Home Automation is a field specializing in the automation requirements of private homes for the comfort and security of its residents. This may sound complicated at first, but latest technology has made it user-friendly to implement. The average homeowner is able to install these systems quickly, and at an affordable cost. This is now something every homeowner can enjoy and afford.

What are some of the things Home Automation can do for us? That would take pages to answer, but let us look at some highlights.

Never enter a dark house again. We have all come home late at night to a dark house. Is someone hiding in the shadows? Before you step out of your car, press a button to illuminate your yard, porch, and inside lights, ensuring a safe place. The lights can even turn off for you a few minutes after you have gone inside.

Relax on your vacations. Know your home looks occupied. Why leave a home dark and deserted when you are on vacation? Home automation can ensure a fun and worry free vacation by turning lights on and off at different times, making your house look occupied.  Read more...
