The speakers of the Mini Muteki are hidden behind a strong perforated metal grill. We used it from around ten metres away successfully, which should make the Mini Muteki more useful in larger rooms or outdoors. If you’re away from the Mini Muteki, you can use the bundled remote control - a generic candy-bar model that’s easy to understand - to good effect. The Mini Muteki’s oversized volume control can be found slightly further around the top (or side, if vertical) of the boombox - it’s a large dial that only changes the volume when the system’s turned on, so there’s no chance of someone turning it up to deafening levels accidentally. Seven buttons for playback - folder navigation, play/pause, bass boost, function toggle and an EQ - sit above the iPod docking area, and there’s also a power switch on the top righ-hand corner next to a single-line, orange multi-function display. Around the back of the player, there's an antenna connector for the integrated AM/FM radio tuner, and a stereo analog audio input for connecting a PC, DVD or Blu-ray player, or portable media player.

Under the dock, there's a USB input - you can connect a USB stick or hard drive full of music files, or any device that can act as a USB host. The RDHGTK11iP, or the Mini Muteki to use a friendlier name, can be set up horizontally or vertically - if you don’t have enough space to put it on a tabletop, you can stand it on the floor.Īll the Mini Muteki’s controls are clustered to the right-hand side (when horizontal) or the top (when vertical) - central there is an iPod/iPhone dock with a 30-pin connector, although the dock doesn’t swivel to remain upright when the Mini Muteki is vertical.
