The Yamaha PDX-30 is an amplification dock specifically designed to be used with the Apple iPod/iPhone. This dock is compact and light enough to go anywhere you want, but also has a high sound quality with powerful output. It uses a Yamaha original digital amplifier with extremely low noise and distortion which drives two large 3-1/4" speakers for a dynamic bass response and an overall powerful and clean sound. The flat top design and multiple colour options adds an attractive touch to any interior and the card-type remote gives added convenience. The Yamaha PDX-30 is available in black as the PDX-30BL, in blue as the PDX-30BU, in gray as the PDX-30GY and in pink as the PDX-30PI
