Roth Audio MC4 Music Cocoon Amplifier - Valve Dock

Product Description

The MC4 Music Cocoon has a 3.5mm socket on the back of the amplifier, which allows other portable audio devices to be connected up to the Cocoon. There is naturally an iPod dock, which is visible on the top of the MC4 as well. When playing compressed audio files the inevitable truth is that the sound quality will be reduced in comparison to non-compressed forms of audio. This is unfortunately a fact of life when playing music from sources such as iPods & MP3 players. The MC4 however attempts to offer you a solution to this problem, & Roth go so far as to guarantee that the MC4 amplifier will add warmth & dimension to compressed file music. This ability is in fact the Cocoon’s unique selling point, as other competing amplifiers are not equipped in their design to enhance the listener’s experience to the extent that the Cocoon can. The purpose of the vacuum tubes is in actual fact to achieve this improvement in audio quality for the listener, which from the enthusiastic reactions from purchases of the MC4 Cocoon, Roth seemed to have achieved. Another point to mention is the excellent audio that the MC4’s amplifier produces when playing CDs. Roth proudly claims that the audio quality & the depth generated by Cocoon is simply astonishing, & its users seem to agree, referring to it as nothing less than “excellent”. Furthermore Roth believe that the Cocoon means that you can hear things in the music that you have not heard before! Roth further assert that the MC4 will bring back the excitement & anticipation of listening to that new album, or your favourite artist all over again
- but this time with “a curiously smooth & refined playback”, which you will not have experienced before! In use, the MC4 is simple to operate, & you can control the Cocoon by remote control, as well as conveniently being able to scroll down through your iPod menus, not just forward & backwards through play lists. The designers at Roth also took the practical steps of creating a remote control that is sturdy, & big enough to not to get lost easily. Another very attractive attribute of the MC4 is the S-video socket that enables you to connect to a television for use with video playing iPods. What more could you ask for in a Music dock, with devilishly good looks, a funky design focused on enhancing your listening experience, & the option to play any portable audio device of your choice on it! Sit back, relax & enjoy the depth & warmth that this Valve Dock Music Cocoon has to offer!
