Technical Info

Specifications
Four inputs with independent level controls for:

- iPod: Integrated Universal Dock for iPod, iPod Mini, or iPod Nano

- Microphone: Balanced XLR or 1/4 inch microphone

- Instrument: 1/4 inch jack for guitar, keyboard, other instrument, or second microphone

- CD/MP3 Player: RCA line level input for CD player, MP3 player, or other audio device

**When a 3rd generation iPod is used with this product, the iPod will not charge. Although 3rd generation iPods feature dock connectors, these iPods communicate via FireWire, not USB (which is used on all newer iPods). This difference makes it impossible for many products with dock connectors to provide a charge to 3rd Generation iPods.

See iPod Compatibility Chart (Found in the Documents section for full details).
Portable iPod PA system! The universal docking station plays backing tracks from any iPod, and the XLR/TRS combo jack puts you out front with a guitar, keyboard, or microphone. Two-way design with woofer and horn delivers clean, full-range sound, and the rechargeable battery lets you take it anywhere. Integrated wheels and retractable handle for easy transport, and the included microphone gets you rocking right out of the box!

"Packs a punch for $15 watts and looks gorgeous doing it."
Feature:
i didn't really need the mic that is included but am not complaining. I wish the wheels were bigger though--I have to walk a lot with my gear and this thing does not like brick sidewalks. but it is really no worse than carrying a heavy wheeled suitcase.

Quality:
The knobs seem a little cheap but other than that it seems well made.

Value:
It seemed pricey at first but now that I have started using it i think it is worth it.

Desirability:
It looks gorgeous!! White and silver. Very cat-proof. I cannot own carpeted speakers with 2 cats so this is perfect.

Sound:
The sound is great! packs a punch for 15 watts! Good bass response. No onboard EQ, but i just do that through my applications.

Ease of Use:
The manual is 2 pages--it just looks thick because it is multilingual. You really don't need anything more, just guidance for charging the battery.

Overall:
If I lost this item I would buy another one.
