Technical Details

The iTube Carbon Edition is a performance valve amplifier with built-in iPod dock and 27-key full function remote control. The Carbon includes two source inputs for any audio device (MP3/CD/DVD), as well as video and S-video outputs for iPod Video products. Includes all cables, brush for cleaning and gloves for handling high-gloss finish.

Two 6N1 (ECC85) tubes and a single 6E2 (EM87) tube provide superb audio reproduction.

27-key remote control is included, giving you complete control over all iPod functionality.

Why Carbon?
The iTube Carbon Edition takes the Fatman iTube ValveDock to a new level, with the iPod dock and valve amplifier built into a single chassis. The chrome finish is replaced with a striking high-gloss black. The unit also includes two pairs of source inputs (in addition to the iPod dock) rather than one, and a significant power increase to 25W per channel. The Carbon Edition is a logical progression from the standard iTube.

The Best of Both Worlds
A common complaint in the age of digitized music is that compression kills audio quality. Audiophiles found it difficult enough to cope with 16-bit CDs, let alone a 192 kbps MP3 file. The iTube Carbon Edition sets out to restore that quality in your signal chain through time-tested valve technology. Featuring two 6N1 (ECC85) tubes and a single 6E2 (EM87) tube, the iTube marries the warmth of classic audio reproduction with the ease of digital technology. Utilizing a hybrid-tube design platform, the iTube provides superb audio reproduction and attractive design at an affordable price.

Full-Featured iPod Dock
Use the iPod Dock with any iPod (except Shuffle). A 27-key remote control is included, giving you complete control over all iPod functionality, as well as the volume and tonal characteristics of the source inputs.

 

Look and Listen
The iPod Dock is ready for video-enabled iPods as well. It features both composite and S-Video output connectors for viewing video on your television. In addition, the device includes two sets of audio-in jacks, for connecting external sound sources, such as a CD player.
