Audiophile Workout Rig

2012-07-13
hey guys audio head here just putting together a little workout package for you guys to check out I really like this thing it served me pretty well over the past couple of days and just want to give you you know a quick rundown how its how its put together so this thing is basically constructed with an iPod Nano this is chosen because of this line out accessibility here the shuffle is actually a little bit smaller than this but it only has a headphone out which really doesn't work put out quite the quality of the line out there is a vast improvement between the line now on the shuffle that I have if you run the headphone out to an amp compared to this line out dock specifically here so this is called an LOD a line out dock this one's by file but there's other more expensive ones on the market if you want to go that route this it run basically it takes the line out from the iPod Nano and puts it into the input here located in the back the unit that I've kind of selected here as an amp for the headphones is the Ray Samuels this shadow this one was selected because of its good pairing it's a great pairing with in in ear monitors such as the j j-- fives that i have here and also its size and the build the build is is quite solid you can take a little bit of jostling no it also has you know it's the smallest one out there that i could really find there might be a couple of other ones that are there's also the pico slim but that one ends up being quite a bit longer and just where if you are in the market but for the size and for the power and for the the really the blending the synergy with in-ear monitors specifically i think this thing works just beautifully so i would have liked to added another DEATH in between here but obviously since this this thing's going to be bouncing up and down and moving the weight was kind of an issue there's the wells of size so the amp itself is not that not that heavy it works it works it's it's you can feel it but it doesn't it's nothing that can really like pull down or tug on your pants too much a while you're running you can see here that it actually inserts quite easily both both of them you put your put this in your pocket and actually hangs on the fabric like this so the weight of the unit kind of drags on your pocket and that actually leaves an opportunity for these cables to kind of stick out to the side so they don't get knocked around too much inside your pocket and you can still access the volume knob here that's how it turns on and you know I think this thing works really great sound this one if you double-click on this button here while you're running it just moves to the next song so you put a few put it workout mixed together it works really eloquently in that regard because you can just have that workout mix or any of you don't want double hit it goes to the next song and that's all accessible as it kind of appears from the top here I attached this to the unit using some of these silicon bands that are available this one happens to be from AOL audio but you can use other other bands I believe you can also use the ones that you buy and put on your wrist as well some people have said that that works too if you have some of those lying around like the charity fundraiser ones are basically the same kind of make up in order to attach them to the Nano I actually double wrap them so they've been twisted once and there's two of them in play here three times underneath to prevent scratching from this unit touching the amp and then just a single band that goes across the top through here to attach it to the two together find this technique works quite well I haven't seen any scratching and this thing is it's very very solidly stuck together so um it leaves enough room for the fabric too many way you could add another one here but I'd be worried about not having a fabric grip here so if you use running pants or any other pants with thin fabric there's plenty of grip here to kind of keep it in place as you run as far as sound is concerned this this is one of those things where actually the transparency and the resolution of the unit he actually you know makes you want to kind of upgrade to higher Ellucian mp3s you can start to really hear the difference with this unit and also it really you know so there's definitely a transparency they it bounces extremely well with the more sensitive in ear monitors kind of gives you a better sense of soundstage when at the low levels just you can also see the shadow review the full review that I did will give you more of the basics of the amp but overall you know it has great bass emphasis and really clear solid bass and everything is basically more clear overall so I really enjoy this unit if you have any questions feel free to hit me up in the comment section and subscribe to the channel if you get a chance audio head and the website is audio - head comm so i few guys soon thanks
