Since many years ago, iHome has begun building one of the strongest names in the home audio field, centered on personal music/media systems to spread your favorite tunes in your living room or bedroom, as well as in your office. It's now time to introduce to you iHome's latest creation in the field of iPod/iPhone-dedicated music/speaker systems, the iP1. This stunning piece of audio gadgetry is loaded with iHome's best technologies, and sports a cutting-edge design meant to delight both audio enthusiasts and critical home décor aficionados.

The iHome iP1 sports a massive smoked acrylic faceplate that boasts a very pleasant resemblance with the stunning R907 loudspeakers from major high-end manufacturer Jamo.

This faceplate serves as a baffle for the drivers of the iHome iP1, as each of them is loaded in its very own cylindrical chamber. For the untrained eye, the iHome iP1 might look like 4 tubes stuck into a thick transparent plastic sheet. Yet, this design breathes elegance and refined taste. Despite its very classy and noble aspect, the product is easy to integrate in pretty much any home décor, and in both modern and conservative settings.

While most iPod docks sport small power ratings, the iHome iP1 is a true monster: it is capable of delivering 100W RMS, which is simply huge for this type of gadgets. This means that you can even throw a real party using this dock, or annoy your neighbors and bring them on the brink of calling 911.

The iHome iP1 sports two no-joke 4'' woofers, complemented by dual 1'' domed tweeters, fed by a Class D power amp, aided by an advanced digital processor developed by Tony Bongiovi. This DSP module is very new and has received a lot of praises throughout the media, especially since it was embedded in the very cool JVC KD-S100 car stereo.

Despite the fact that there is no word on pricing or availability, we have strong reasons to believe that iHome will not be too late in having the iP1 docks shipping.
