At the 2006 Summer NAMM Session, we came across the CAVS IPS-11G Karaoke Station, a turbo-charged iPod dock that does all the usual docking chores…..and karaoke.
The CAVS IPS-11G is designed to access multimedia files on your iPod or USB storage device and let you view the files on your TV screen. It comes with a very capable remote that lets you search and select files through the iPod’s original menus on the TV screen.
The Station can play files in MPEG, MPG, AVI, DAT, VOB, MP3, JPEG, MPG, GIF formats, and also karaoke files of MCG-MP3 format. CAVS IPS-11G accesses your ipod or MP3 player and plays the files into your home audio video system.
We checked out the Station with the guys from CAVS. We thought that the system’s name was pretty awkward, but the system itself was easy to use. The remote is appealing because it has buttons for everything.
