The Jukebox has long been a standing traditional fixture in neighborhood bars and residential basements. They’re finally making a come back with the Pacific Rim Technologies Jukebox Station. The Jukebox station looks like the classic jukebox, but with all the modern bells and whistles including an LED lighting system, FM radio, and CD player. The biggest selling feature is the universal dock for the iPod. Simply plug in any iPod model (nano, video iPod, etc) into the dock and access your complete library of music via an Infra Red remote (included). Owners of the video iPod can also plug up the Jukebox station to a TV via the RCA video outs and watch their favorite video content. It can also accept audio from other sources via the RCA input jacks on the back of the cabinet.
This product could lead to some interesting local bar promotions including “bring your own iPod night”, but it is perfect for basement parties where all your friends can DJ the party themselves!
Selling for $699, the Jukebox Station will be available only at Target.com sometime in October. Although not the most powerful and crisp way to listen to all of your music (72 watt - 2.1 stereo sound), it does give you the look and feel of the classic Jukebox while still giving you all the features of today’s modern music player.
