The AktiMate Mini is an active 2-way system negating the need for a separate amplifier as it has
its own 40 Watt per channel amplifier built in to one of the speakers. In early versions the iPod
dock was clearly visible - it is now concealed under a cover flap on the top of the active speaker.
This dock also accepts the iPhone.
The rear panel jack plug accommodates the connection to an MP3 or MP4 player or your
computer via the 3.5 mm input. RCA stereo inputs permit connection of any hi-fi source product,
e.g. CD Player, tuner etc. RCA stereo outputs to allow for the connection of a subwoofer. It is
important to note that the USB connection can only be used for charging purposes.
Should the desire be to run a second pair of AktiMate Mini speakers, the RCA outputs
accommodate daisy chaining which will provide independent volume control in each location.
It has composite video output for connection to a larger monitor (handy if your iPod has photo
storage or video clips). Please note that this feature is suitable only for earlier edition iPods to
version 5 and Nano version 2.
The AktiMate Mini is Ideal for use as your television speakers - they are fully shielded, so
placement alongside a monitor presents no problem.
In versions manufactured before March 2010 (serial numbers commencing 1003...), an iPod
will charge when it is in the dock. However new international regulations relating to Standby power
mean this feature will no longer be available. Remember that the iPod will always charge whilst it
is in use or when the Mini is not in Standby.
A voltage selector switch permits a change of voltage should you wish to travel to a part of
the world using different mains voltages. The volume control on the front panel allows ease of
operation – a control which, with a simple press, takes the system into standby.
The AktiMate Mini has remote control and comes with a small but perfectly formed handset! The
remote handset not only controls the volume of the speakers plus mute and standby, but also
all basic functions of an iPod.
It comes in a choice of three dynamic finishes – gloss black, gloss white or gloss red. Each
speaker stands 30 cm high. Warranty period is 12 months.
