Practical Octavio Usage 101: Evicting your shed boombox

I just noticed (courtesy of my yahoo pipes) that Mike has chucked a photo of his Octavio in his shed on flickr (I reprinted it below). I can testify that the Octavio was there because Jamie had to retrieve it the other day so we could use it to monitor for a recording we were doing. You may notice that Mike actually doesn’t have any mp3 player in his Octavio which is because it is a Zune model he scabbed off Mr Vafiadis and unfortunately he doesn’t own a Zune. However this won’t stop anyone hooking up their radio through the aux inputs to spend some quality time in the shed.

My Sales Pitch:

The shallow form factor of the Octavio that was designed to sit on modern TV cabinets and compliment LCD screens also allows the Octavio to meld perfectly with your steel shed furniture or sit unobtrusively at the back of your workbench. The effortless, room-filling sound quality of the Octavio makes it suitable for small or large suburban sheds and the sound quality is more than likely to exceed the expelled boombox. Assuming that your shed’s acoustics are less hideous than average you may want to construct a comfortable chair to position in front of the Octavio for long listening sessions. I would recommend using one of the acoustic skins to protect those premium speaker cones from dust during productive sessions. Perhaps use a different coloured skin to the one you’re using when you take the Octavio inside for wild parties and general chillaxing.

So in summary – grab an Octavio for your shed and your mates will be around for a male bonding/jazz appreciation session in no time!
