iNuke Boom Junior

Remember the gigantic couch-sized 10,000 watt iNuke Boom iPod Dock? Well now you can bring that into your home…. in a slightly smaller size (1/23rd the size to be exact). The iNuke Boom Junior from Behringer still maintains the oversized proportions compared to the iPod that docks above it but in a more living room friendly size. It’s a 3 way active speaker putting out 50 watts from these internal speakers: Tweeter (2 x 1″), midrange speaker (2 x 3″), woofer (1 x 5.25″).

The speaker dock works with most iDevices or you can use the line-in for your other music player. The Jr. measures 8.7″ H x 16.5″ W x 9.8″ D and comes with a wireless remote and a video out port. Available only at Costco online.

Behringer iNuke BOOM Junior Speaker Dock Goes Through the Shrink Ray

You might recall late last year when we talked about the gigantically massive Behringer iNuke BOOM that packs 10,000 watts of power and was the biggest speaker dock we’ve ever seen for the iPhone. If you thought that speaker dock was pretty cool, but wanted one small enough to actually fit in your room the company is back with a junior version. The new speaker dock is called the iNuke BOOM Junior.

The Junior is significantly smaller than the original from last year, measuring just 8.7 ” H x 16.5 ” W x 9.8″ D, and weighing about 10.6 pounds. That makes it a 1:23 scale version of its big brother. The little box should still provide impressive sound with a pair of one-inch tweeters, two three-inch midranges, and a single 5.25-inch woofer, though it doesn’t have anywhere near 10,000 watts of amplification.

The device has an iPod dock on top as well as a line in and an auxiliary input with stereo RCA connectors. It also has a video out and supports the iPhone, iPod, and iPad – though not the iPhone 5. The iNuke Boom Junior sells for $179.99(USD) over at Costco.

As enraptured as we might be with Behringer's monolithic iNuke Boom, the 8-foot-long frame and 10,000W output don't really lend themselves to a home installation. Not unless we want to produce false positives on the USGS' earthquake meters, anyway. We're happy to say the company has addressed that domestic oversight with the iNuke Boom Junior. The iOS- and iPod-capable speaker dock won't launch nearly as large-scale an audio assault at 50W, but it's also less than a twentieth of the size of its parent; no one will need a forklift to get Junior into the living room. In spite of the less than ego-inflating dimensions, the smaller system appears balanced with discrete woofer, tweeter and mid-range components as well as separate bass control. We just wish it was slightly more futureproof. As glad as we are that the iNuke Boom Junior's $180 price at Costco spares us from raiding our retirement funds, the speaker is still using a pre-Lightning dock connector and lacks any wireless audio -- iPhone 5 owners will have to turn to an adapter or the aux-in jack. At least we won't be violating any local noise laws in the process.
