This is the monitor stand that puts all the most common computer inputs and multimedia ports on the front for quick access. While elevating a monitor to an ergonomic eye-level height, this riser offers simpler and more accessible connectivity for such everyday inputs as headphone and microphone jacks; an SD card reader; and four USB 2.0 ports (three in front, plus one in back for permanent wired connections best kept out of sight). The riser is also a retractable, 30-pin docking station for charging iPhones or iPads (iPhone 5 charges via USB), and contains two built-in speakers with an independent volume control dial. The speakers relay sound from a docked iPod, iPhone, or iPad, or by connecting a computer or any other audio device through the included auxiliary cable. A shelf in the center keeps crucial documents or office supplies at an arm's length. Solid MDF construction with rubber feet for stability. Comes with DC adapter to power devices directly, and a USB cable that connects to a computer and provides secondary power for devices. 5" H x 13" W x 16" D. (9 lbs.)
