CES 2012: Behringer unveils 8-foot wide, 10,000-watt iPod dock
We've checked the specs and we've checked the date, but it seems German audio company Behringer really has announced an 8-foot wide, 10,000-watt iPod/iPhone dock. Yes, that's an iPhone on top of the dock.
The iNuke Boom weighs over 315kg, stands 4-feet tall and will set you back a not inconsiderable $30,000. And looks utterly crazy.
Due to be on show at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, it's the headline-grabbing device in the German company's new Eurosound range.
With four product ranges in total, Home, Live, Portable and Creation, Home and Portable are the two aimed at enthusiasts (rather than music professionals).
There will be iPod docks, wireless speakers, portable speakers and headphones, with the full range set to be unveiled at CES in January.
CES, the biggest consumer electronics show in the world, kicks-off officially on Tuesday January 10th. As official media partners we'll be there to bring you all the news as it breaks, from the sublime to the ridiculous...

Nah. That's a normal-size dock - it's just that the iPod on top is really far away.
Oh my goodness, that iPhone looks like a little ant on top of that dock. I am sure that there may be several people interested in it. You could provide music for an entire city with that thing.
An eight foot iphone dock speaker will be showcased at a show in Las Vegas and will be a pretty good shot at gaining attention during the month of January along with other electronics.
But it is portable? If not I will look for something a bit smaller.......
Well, we'll be covering CES in Vegas in January, so we'll let you know if it's for real!
This has got to be a PR stunt lol

I do think they missed a trick: if you want loud then ten thousand watt is not enough. They should've made it go up to eleven. Obviously.
