Audiovox X2G and XM Stereo

In a major expansion of its models, Audiovox has just revealed a slew of devices that tap into XM Satellite Radio's network. The X2G-100 (pictured) is the second iteration of the company's XM2go portable XM receiver and adds a new set of headphones with a built-in antenna, greatly improving reception when on foot. It also trades the silver of the pioneering model for a metallic black. The X2G should be available in February but has not received a price.

The electronics maker has also created a new line of XM stereos built around a variant of the radio network's XM Mini-Tuner known as the CNP2000 ($30). Five models -- ranging from the XR100 Desktop Radio to the DV7600XM Home Theater System -- can all accept the pocket-sized XM adapter, which instantly adds XM tuning without the need for a dedicated receiver. Audiovox did not commit to a time window for a launch but says all its offerings will be ready soon. Click through for photos and summaries. [via Orbitcast]

The XR100 ($120) and XRC200 ($230) are clock radios that merge iPod and XM radio, including a docking station for all dockable iPods as well as a slot for the XM Mini-Tuner. All models feature multiple sleep and wake setting that can trigger the iPod or one of its radios; the XRC200 adds a CD player that supports MP3 and WMA playback.



The CE547XM is a basic bookshelf CD, radio, and XM stereo that outputs 40W of sustained power. It ships for $130.



At the top of its offerings, Audiovox' DV7300XM ($200) and DV7600XM ($160) are meant as full home stereo replacements and raise the power threshold dramatically, the company claims. The 7300 variant is designed for music enthusiasts and outputs 300W through its two satellites and high-end receiver, supporting both CD and XM audio. The 7600 trades sheer audio quality for movie playback, using a 5.1-channel, 600W Dolby Surround speaker arrangement and a DVD drive for media.
