Another great feature allows you to pair two (or more) Evolve systems so that they play the same music all over your house.
The power button on top of each speaker allows you to turn off the music in case the phone rings and you don't have the RF remote nearby - in effect, a handy mute button. Switching to mono allows you to take each speaker to a different room so mom can enjoy music as she makes trips between the laundry room and kitchen. But it also includes a switch for selecting between stereo and mono. The base has a power button, as well as volume up and down. The Evolve was built with several well thought-out features. Then out to the garage work-bench while I worked on a project there, then back into the house to my bathroom for continuing tunes while I grabbed a quick shower. It was incredible to be able to dock your iPod in the den and begin listening to music, then just grab a speaker (or two) and take it with you to the kitchen while you fix a snack. They are rated for a range of 150 ft, and I had no problem with reception all over my home, though I doubt it would hit its maximum rating through walls. But the real beauty of the Evolve is the flexibility allowed by the wireless speakers. The styling is very hip - much cooler than many of the speaker systems for iPod on the market today. The build-quality of the entire unit is very good - I felt the speakers were plenty rugged, yet looked very contemporary. It's a pretty cool way of making sure you don't mix the speakers up when undocked. A green LED indicates right or left channel - the LED appears on the left corner if it is the left channel, and the right side if it is assigned to the right channel.
Inside of this enclosure is a 4-inch full-range aluminum driver, hidden by a black aluminum grill. There is a single power button on the top of each speaker, centered near the back. They are constantly charging while on the base, and a fully charged speaker will give you about 10 hours of listening.Įach speaker is enclosed in a 5.5-inch black cube that has a rubberized back and trim, and has a built in handle on the rear. The bottom of each speaker has 3 small metal contacts and a square rubber pad that mates perfectly with the grooved system base. The speakers are interchangeable - the unit will automatically assign left and right based on which side of the base you put them on. Once you have chosen the right style and clicked it into place, all that is left to do is plug in the power brick and set the speakers on the stand. Choosing the proper adapter is probably the most difficult step in the setup process. Griffin includes an array of adapters for the dock to fit whichever (docking station compatible) iPod you own. The top of the base is glossy black and has two rubbery gray antennas on either side of the docking area for compatible iPods.

The front of the base is crafted from polished aluminum with similar curves and a design that mimics Apple's Macintosh Pro tower computers. The Evolve has a very modern, modular look. The Evolve uses rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology to achieve complete cable freedom around your home or office, with excellent results. Most wireless speaker products aren't really wireless - each speaker typically has power cords that need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet. But the Evolve stands alone as the first truly wireless speaker system I have reviewed, and it proved to be a great little product that any iPod owner will be interested in checking out. The Evolve wireless sound system from Griffin Technology brings yet another iPod speaker system to a crowded market category. ▪ Integrates with: CD, MP3 players, MiniDisc players, TV's, stereo receivers equipped with Aux Audio inputs. ▪ Power: Button cell type CR2032 3V Lithium battery.
