The dock holds the iPad with rectangle shaped base that contains some custom-designed oval speakers that are 40 mm by 55 mm in size promising room-filling” sound. Laptop Magazine found the sound to be quite good” in their test. Despite not having built-in subwoofer the lows are created with a specially designed speaker enclosure that has a passive radiator to deliver the lows. The angle of the speakers cause sound to bounce off the walls and back at the listening giving a feeling of surround sound. The volume control wheel is on the right side of the speaker bar (see last picture below).

The dock will swivel to move the iPad around holding it at any orientation the user desires going a full 360 degrees around. That makes this useful for widescreen viewing while watching video or for portrait viewing while editing documents.
