Xitel has unveiled its HiFi-Link for the iPod nano, which allows the music player to be connected to a home stereo, while also providing charging and remote control capabilities.

The electronics company’s original Hi-Fi for iPod also works with the iPod nano, but this new unit is specifically for use with the nano and comes with distinctive black colouring.

Features include gold-plated stereo outputs that can be connected to a home stereo, boom box or powered speakers, as well as SRS “TruBass” technology that amplifies the bass.

And you can change tracks, pause, fast forward, change the volume or turn the unit off or on from the comfort of your armchair with the wireless remote control.

Barrie Davis, president of Xitel, told Business Wire: “The iPod nano is a special product: it’s small, but packs a powerful punch! Now, our dedicated dock with its innovative features allows iPod nano to realise its full audio potential.”
