Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Firewire-Charging Portable Audio System for iPod (Black)

Customer Review: Not Compatible with the 5G Nano
Summary: 2 Stars

Note: the iM600 will not work with the 5G Nano (you'll get the "charging is not supported with this device" warning on the iPod's screen). This is because Apple quietly discontinued the support of 12V charging docks and other accessories in the 4G and 5G Nanos. You can get around this using another 3rd party device like the Scosche passPORT between the Nano's connector and the iM600's docking port, but it's annoying to have to shell out another [...] because Apple was too cheap to continue supporting older accessories (your paycheck's not big enough, eh Steve?).

Also, it's deceptive for Altec to continue advertising the iM600 Firewire as compatible with the newer Nanos. The iM600 USB model (also sold by Amazon) is compatible with newer Nanos, however.

Other than the caveat above, I've owned this dock for two years now and it done a serviceable job during that period. Build quality is iffy, however. I actually have two of these docks, one at home and one at work. When listening to the radio on the im600 at work, the sound will cut out for 2-3 minutes at a time whenever I move around my office. Might be a problem with the antenna, but it's disappointing to find such a fault in a [...] device.

Description of Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Firewire-Charging Portable Audio System for iPod (Black)

Amazon.com Product Description--Posted October 14, 2008 With its well-regarded inMotion system, Altec Lansing has raised the bar again with the iM600. Featuring a myriad of new technologies, the iM600 offers big, crystal-clear sound, and it folds up compactly for easy portability.

The Altec Lansing inMotion iM600:
  • offers incredible musicality and clarity with deep bass;
  • folds up compactly to offer great portability;
  • provides a dock for your iPod, charging it while playing music; and
  • features a built-in FM tuner.


With Expanded Sound Stage technology, the speakers sound further apart than they really are for a bigger soundstage. View larger. View Remote.
Superior Sound in a Small Package
Employing dual two-inch neodymium drivers that are optimized for high-frequency sound, the iM600 offers unmatched musicality and clarity. Despite its compact size, the bass is punchy and has good extension, and with Altec Lansing's Expanded Sound Stage (ESS) technology, the speakers will sound further apart than they actually are, for a greater stereophonic image.

Elegant Design Matches the iPod
The iM600 sports a distinctive thin and elegant glossy-black look. A spring-loaded button deploys the speaker's stand and reveals the iPod dock, power button, and volume controls.

Your iPod perches front and center, resting at an angle to display the current track information and album art while recharging. If your iPod model has the alarm clock and sleep timer features, they will work seamlessly with the iM600.

Various docking adapters are included, making the iM600 compatible with most iPods. Also, an auxiliary input lets you connect any CD, DVD, or MP3 player using a stereo mini-plug.

Built-in FM Tuner
If you get bored with the songs on your iPod, the iM600 has a built-in FM tuner, letting you listen to your favorite music and talk radio. Near the top of the unit is an LCD that displays the current FM frequency; buttons on top provide tuning controls. The tuner also features a memory for four presets and a telescoping antenna for better reception.

Change the Music from Across the Room
A small remote control is included, letting you change the musical selection from across the room. A storage slot built into the system itself makes it easy to store the remote, preventing you from losing it behind couch cushions and other inconvenient places.

Take Your Music To-Go
With a compact size that folds closed to a mere 11 x 1.7 x 6 inches (W x D x H), and weighing only 2.1 pounds, the iM600 is easy to take with you to the beach, on vacation, or wherever you else you're going. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you listen to more than 7 hours of continuous play. An AC adapter is included for connected listening and recharging the battery.

The Altec Lansing iM600 is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
iM600 speaker system, wireless remote, iPod docking adapters, power supply, user's guide and quick connect instructions.


The iM600 will provide enough big sound to keep your party rocking.
