Sharp has introduced two docking iPod speaker systems—the DK-A1 and DK-A10—as part of its new i-Elegance iPod product lineup. Available in white or black, the portable units feature full-range bass reflex speakers with built-in side-firing, illuminating subwoofers. The systems also feature an electronic equalizer, a built-in alarm clock with sleep timer function, AM/FM tuner with 32 presets, and wireless remote. The DK-A10 adds a front-loading CD slot that plays standard CDs in addition to CD-R/RW with MP3 and WMA files. The units also offer Esound, a digital signal processing technology that aims to improve the quality of digital music. The DK-A1 ($230) will be available in May, while the DK-A10 ($330) will be available in April.
