Boostaroo iPod Amplifier
[ View all gadgets from Boostaroo ]

One of the biggest problems faced by almost every portable music player is that of the output/quality ratio. Usually, if we turn the volume to the max, then we get a very poor quality sound. And that's exactly the reason why the Boostaroo Revolution has been created, a truly revolutionary device that has the role of amplifying the sound generated by the player, however maintaining it's quality at a very high level.



The Boostaroo Revolution is capable of increasing the volume with up to 400%, without affecting in any way the quality of the sound. According to the manufacturers, the device's specially designed circuits splits the audio signal in 3 separate channels, a process that creates imaged surround sound as well.



Furthermore, the device is very easy to connect to any portable audio player, since all the users have to do is simply plug one end of the included 3.5mm audio cable into the output of the portable player and then connect the other end of the audio cable into the input of the Revolution. Then, users must plug their headphones or PC speakers into one of the Revolution's two outputs and enjoy the high-quality music.



And since we're on the subject of audio signal quality, it's important to mention that the Boostaroo Revolution has a 5.5 Ohms impedance and generates around 17.5 mW per channel. Furthermore, the amplifier delivers a 22-23dB boost in headphones up to 600 Ohms, has a THD < 0.5% and a frequency response range of 20 to 20,000Hz +/- 2 dB (EIAJ CP-307 Method). The signal to noise ratio is of -110dBA from clipping.



The Boostaroo Revolution will last for up to 40 hours of continuous play, at normal listening levels, on its 2 AAAA batteries. It sells for 50 US dollars, which is money well spent, especially if you're one audiophile in search for the best audio experience, both at home and on the go.
