Manufacturer's Description

From the world leaders in DAB radio comes i-10 - the universal iPod dock.

Love your iPod but want to listen without headphones? As well as being a convenient and elegant solution for connecting your iPod to one of the many PURE products with an auxiliary input, one of the biggest benefits of the PURE i-10 universal iPod dock is that it can also be connected to absolutely any set of powered speakers, headphones or other audio systems you may have with a 3.5mm stereo line input. Best used as an addition to a stereo system that does not have its own iPod dock, the i-10 enables you to play your favourite MP3 tracks direct from your iPod whilst it charges. The i-10 is a cleverly designed audio-only dock package complete with a selection of 9 different adaptors to fit all the most popular iPod models. Conveniently supplied in a neat box with individual slots and pictures of the different iPods they are designed for, selecting the correct adapter coudn't be easier. Now you can get to all of your iPod content quickly, play/pause, skip tracks, shuffle, repeat and adjust the volume from the comfort of your chair using the fully-featured infrared remote control. Fitting snugly in your hand and simple to operate, the remote control has 12 buttons with a positive action and a sensitivity that operates the i-10 from the other side of the room. Added to all of this is the higher level of volume output achieved via the i-10 dock compared to a standard 3.5mm cable. * Universal iPod dock for iPod playback via 3.5mm stereo output * Listen to your iPod while it charges * Connects to any amplified speaker system and other products with 3.5mm stereo line input * Navigate and control iPod with supplied remote control * Higher volume output

Better than an iPod dock
I use this with an iPod Classic. It performs a similar function to a standard docking station or a simple headphone cable for connecting to an amplifier but with the following advantages:

* Remote control allows access to all menu functions - the iPod version did not control the Classic - plus a couple of extra direct functions like shuffle and repeat.

* Volume is good through the hi-fi and seems to be properly matched so the tone is right, (headphone socket is reduced volume and muffled which is why it is worth having some form of docking station that takes the output from the iPod connector).
* Uses own power supply so don't need an iPod charger and iPod cable which are separate purchases with the iPod dock.
* Leaves volume setting on iPod alone which means can use headphones without blowing ears off or use hi-fi without fiddling around first - and blowing ears off when changing to another source.


Comes with a 3.5mm cable so you may need to get a 3.5mm to RCA phono adapter to connect to your hi-fi (I've acquired oodles of these over the years).

So it works out cheaper than the iPod dock for connecting to hi-fi and works better. (Note that it does not connect to a PC like the iPod Dock).

Pure Docking Station
I bought this as a compromise after getting a 120gb Ipod Classic for Xmas. As the intention was to connect my Ipod to my hi-fi I wanted the Denon Docking Station but the retailer did not have one in stock but recommended the Pure version as not only superior but less than half the price. Now I cannot say if it is superior but less that half the price I can confirm. This is a lovely bit of kit and unlike the Denon it comes with a remote so you do not put any stress on the Ipod connection whilst it is in the docking station. The only accessory I had to but was the cable to connect to my amplifier. Now I am cooking on gas (as they say) and am a very happy bunny.

Really Very, Very Good
Right I'll be honest, new to the whole iPod thing but have an iPod touch 2G 16GB and was looking for a cheap way to get a decent line level (not headphone level, which is lower) to my surround sound system which for those of you who are interested is Pioneer with Celestion pod speakers and a sub. This unit does that very, very well, none of the flabby bass and sibilent treble you get going through the h/phone socket. The sound is surprisingly good, presenting a clear and tight soundstage. For £30 or whatever the price is today you can't go wrong with this, the remote works well but that's a bonus really, it's the sound that counts. Only gripe (which is a very unfair one really) is that if you have a protective case on your iPod you can't use the adaptors that Pure supply as the Ipod wont fit snuggly into the dock, but this would be true of any dock I guess. I leave my iPod in it's protective case and just plug it straight in without an adaptor - works fine. Genuinely - a great and cheap-ish solution to the problem, yes you'll need a 3.5 h/phone to 2x phono lead for a hi-fi connection but that's no problem. Great little product.PURE VL-61119 i-10 Powered iPod Dock with Remote Control
