JBL On Stage IIIP Portable Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone (Black)

JBL On Stage IIIP Portable Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review



JBL On Stage IIIP Portable Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone (Black) Feature

  • Supports most iPhone and iPod models with Universal Dock Connector
  • 3.5-mm mini jack allows connection of other audio devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers, satellite radios, and laptops
  • Odyssey transducers and Slipstream port design provide a full, rich frequency response
  • Includes an RF remote control with full iPod navigation
The JBL On Stage IIIP portable loudspeaker dock is the ideal travel partner. Imagine the convenience of taking the JBL On Stage IIIP speaker dock on the road or enjoying the sound right at your desktop. Connected to your iPod or iPhone, MP3 player, or other music source, it produces clean, powerful sound--while also charging your iPod or iPhone. With the help of the IR remote, you can take complete control of your music with the JBL On Stage IIIP loudspeaker dock.

Enjoy your iPod or iPhone, view photos or videos, and listen to virtually any other auxiliary audio component, all through the JBL On Stage IIP system.

Combines many proprietary technologies to provide the highest-quality sound, astonishing bass, and clear and accurate audio from any direction.

Compatible with dockable versions of the iPod, including the iPod touch, iPhone, iPod classic 6G, and iPod nano 3G.

Which Dock Is for You?
JBL has been in the iPod dock business for a while, so it's no surprise that the company has crafted enough models to keep up with an ever-increasing army of iPod owners. Which one is right for you? Well, that depends on what kind of pod person you are:

For the Power Hungry
For those who seek more volume, the On Stage 400ID should be your first stop. At 2x15 watts, it's the loudest and largest of the bunch, and features an Atlas woofer for added bass. But size isn't everything--the On Stage Micro boasts the same wattage rating without the woofer.

For the Weekend Warriors
Those who need a dock that they can take anywhere should investigate docks that can be powered by batteries. The On Stage Micro runs on four AAAs, whereas the On Stage IIIP and On Stage III run on six. Take your music to the beach, on camping trips, or wherever you can't bear to be without it.

For the iPhone Techies
The iPhone owner has a couple choices--if you can stand to put the thing down. The On Stage IIIP provides a smaller and more portable option, or the On Stage 200ID gives a bit more power. These two docks support all docking iPod models as well.

For the Featurephiles or Heavy Sleepers
Some of us just aren't content with basic functionality; we need more buttons and more lights. Others just need a little nudge to wake up in the morning. If this is you, then the On Time 200ID and 400IHD are for you. Both feature an alarm clock and AM/FM radio, with the ability to wake up to your favorite song stored on your iPod (and then reject it with the snooze button). Of course, for the masochists, a classic buzzer is also available. The On Time 400IHD adds a dual alarm clock and HD radio to the mix, for a crystal-clear signal and a variety of text-based information (artist name, song title, weather alerts, school closings, etc.) scrolled across your screen.

Something for Everyone
All of these models feature a remote control for full iPod navigation, Evercharge topology to charge your iPod even when it's not connected to a PC or the system is turned off, a mini-jack for auxiliary devices, and the sleek design and solid performance you'd expect from JBL.

Compatibility
The JBL On Stage IIIP system is compatible with docking versions of the iPod, including the iPod touch, iPhone, iPod classic, and iPod nano 3G. A stereo mini jack connection also allows you to enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of other devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), satellite radios, and laptops. Specific dockable iPod compatibility: iPod mini 1G; iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G; iPod touch; iPhone.

Easy-to-Use Music and Navigation Controls
Just a touch of the music controls increases or decreases the volume. Using the navigation controls, browse songs, playlists, and photos; change tracks and settings; and more.

Connection Versatility
The JBL On Stage IIIP loudspeaker dock is a multimedia focal point. Enjoy your iPod, view photos or videos, and listen to virtually any other auxiliary audio component, all through the JBL On Stage IIIP system.

Additional Features

  • IR remote--The JBL On Stage IIIP IR remote has several modes of operation. The Music mode allows you to control the volume, change tracks, fast forward, and fast reverse. The Navigation mode allows you to access menus on your mobile digital device just as if you were controlling the unit itself. You can search your music, watch your slideshows, and find and play your videos.
  • Evercharge topology--The system charges your iPod/iPhone, even when it's not connected to a computer or if the system is off.

Advanced Technology
The JBL On Stage IIIP loudspeaker dock combines many proprietary technologies to provide the highest-quality sound, astonishing bass, and clear and accurate audio from any direction.

  • Odyssey transducers--The Odyssey drivers deliver accurate high frequencies while capable of low-frequency extension of four octaves, unlike traditional powered tweeters. This design provides a full, rich frequency response, from low bass to the highest highs.
  • Slipstream port design--The port minimizes boundary layer separation, producing high-output bass with low distortion.
  • COE (computer-optimized equalization)--The system equalization is computer-optimized to provide a rich, complete soundstage over a range of listening positions.
  • OCT (optimized compression topology)--The proprietary compression technology ensures clean, accurate sound at high output levels.
  • AEMS (advanced energy management system)--The automatic battery-saving shutoff will automatically put the system into sleep mode when there is no audio input. The system awakens with just a touch and resumes at the same volume level.
  • Battery-powered--The JBL On Stage IIIP system uses most types of AA batteries. Six fresh AA batteries allow up to 12 hours of continuous play at normal listening levels. An amber LED flashes when the battery protection circuit senses that the batteries are low. JBL encourages the use of rechargeable batteries (e.g., NiMH), to reduce waste and help the environment.

What's in the Box
JBL On Stage IIIP (Black), IR remote control, auxiliary audio input cable, power supply and cord, and adapters for iPod and iPhone.

The JBL On Stage IIIP portable loudspeaker dock is the ideal travel partner. Imagine the convenience of taking the JBL On Stage IIIP speaker dock on the road or enjoying the sound right at your desktop. Connected to your iPod or iPhone, MP3 player, or other music source, it produces clean, powerful sound while also charging your iPod or iPhone. With the help of the IR remote, you can take complete control of your music with the JBL On Stage IIIP loudspeaker dock.

Harman Kardon 6.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (HKTS 8)

Harman Kardon 6.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (HKTS 8) Review



Harman Kardon 6.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (HKTS 8) Feature

  • Level control and low bass filter switch for fine-tuning bass response to match the room acoustics.
  • 100 watt Powered subwoofer for great sounding home theater.
  • All speaker cables are included.
  • Magnetically shielded speakers.
  • The subwoofer automatically senses the audio signal and powers on and off by itself.
Let Harman Kardon's HKTS 8 home-cinema speaker system take the guesswork out of choosing the right speakers to match your other home theater components. The HKTS 8 is a complete 6.1-channel system--front and rear left, center, and right speakers plus a ".1" powered subwoofer to handle your system's low-frequency effects (LFE) channel--that combines a refined, elegant appearance with outstanding performance and value.

The HKTS 8 includes five 2-way, magnetically shielded satellite speakers, a 2-way, shielded center-channel speaker, and a 100-watt subwoofer. All are matched for a seamless sonic blend and styled to complement today's flat-screen video displays and contemporary TV sets. The HKTS 8 also includes wall-mounting brackets for the satellite speakers, and all necessary hookup cables.

While compact in form, the HKTS 8 delivers clear, powerful multichannel sound for your DVD movies and DVD-Audio and SACD music discs. The system's satellites employ a high-quality, high-output 3-inch woofer and .5-inch-dome tweeter, which operate in conjunction with Harman's elliptical waveguide, which is specially shaped for controlled directivity and accurate dispersion over a wider listening area.

The front center-channel speaker's dual 3-inch woofers and .75-inch dome tweeter ensure articulate dialog reproduction along with clear and "present" music and effects. It's precisely voice-matched with the satellites to give you an integrated and expansive 6.1-channel surround sound listening environment.

Besides its built-in amplifier, the subwoofer features a 10-inch woofer for exceptional low-frequency articulation and resolution. The subwoofer includes a full complement of controls, inputs, and outputs to provide optimum sound quality in any system and room.

You can wall-mount the satellites or place them near or even atop a TV or on a shelf; they can also be used with Harman Kardon's optional matching floor stands. The front center-channel speaker is designed for easy placement on top of a TV with no risk of image distortion from the speaker's magnetic voice coils.

The gracefully contoured satellites and center channel and stylish, vertically oriented subwoofer are finished in metallic silver with silver-gray metal grilles to perfectly match Harman Kardon's receivers and audio/video components.

What's in the Box
Five satellite speakers, 1 front center-channel speaker, 1 powered subwoofer, all requisite hookup cables, satellite mounting brackets, a user's manual, and warranty information. This is a complete Home Theater speaker package complete with 5 satellites and a powerful 10" powered subwoofer. The subwoofer is a 100 watt Bass Reflex powered woofer.
