Condition & Notes
The iCube Multimedia Super Woofer Speaker System, as it’s referred to on the box, is a three-piece speaker system produced by a company called Ice Technology. The box lists a copyright date of 1999. The product comprises a large bass unit with subwoofer and audio controls that connects to two satellite speakers that each have a tweeter and midrange driver. The speaker enclosures are made of translucent ice-white and blue plastic, clearly intended to match the “Blueberry” Apple iMac G3s produced between 1999 and 2000.
As of mid-2025 there appears to be no information whatsoever on the Internet about this product, or about Ice Technology in general. The company’s website (www.icetechnology.com) appears to be defunct. It’s also unclear if there was an instruction manual or pamphlet that shipped with the product when new. If you know anything about this item or the company that made it, or are able to locate information online about this, please reach out via the blue “Email Me” button at the top of this page!
This system was in NOS (new-old-stock) condition when I received it, and had never been used. It’s complete with the original box, packaging, and audio cables.

With iMac G3
The color isn’t a perfect match in this case since the iMac is Bondi Blue and the speakers are Blueberry, but they still compliment the iMac’s industrial design very nicely. They sound pretty decent, too.
