Simple is probably the word to describe the Aktimate Mini. Out of the box you get two speakers, three metres of connecting cable, a power cord, a small box with seven different iPod adapters, four banana plugs, and an IR remote that can control your iPod wirelessly. All one has to do is to connect the two speakers, plug the unit in, dock your iPod, and turn the unit on.
The rear panel of the left speaker hosts a 3.5mm jack plug, an RCA stereo input and output, a video output, as well as a USB connector that only charges units.
The Aktimate Mini is an active 2-way system, which in layman's terms means that this unit does not need a separate amplifier as it has its own built-in 40-Watt per channel amp. The IR remote control will act as the main controller of the device, so make sure you don't misplace it. Once an iPod is docked, a user can navigate through the main menu and change music on the fly without having to go near the system. A depressable knob is also present at the bottom right of the left speaker, which can turn the unit on/off (by pressing) or adjust the audio levels (by turning).
