Amazon.com Product Description
Bring your Sirius satellite radio receiver or iPod to life with the Soloist universal sound system. Boasting a series of docking cradles and adapters for holding the Sirius Sportster 3 and 4, Starmate 3 and 4, Stiletto SL100 and SL10, and Stratus receivers, along with a separate cradle that holds all dockable iPods, the sound system serves as an ideal audio centerpiece for your bedroom, office, or basement rec room. Simply drop your preferred audio device into one of the docking cradles and you're set. Listeners will love the Soloist's rich, detailed sound, which employs patented NXT honeycomb flat-panel speaker technology to create a dynamic, powerful audio performance. The flat-panel surfaces vibrate seamlessly to provide a full audio range, while the four built-in exciters are coupled at lower frequencies to flesh out the bass response. The resulting sonic footprint resonates in all directions, making this a far more immersive system than most integrated speaker models. p The Soloist receives high-quality satellite reception thanks to its indoor/outdoor antenna, which includes a 21-foot connection cable. For best results, listeners should place the antenna on the roof (the antenna is fully waterproof), where it's more likely to find a clear path to the satellite signals. However, the antenna may still work well if located on the side of the house or near a window, provided it receives an unobstructed view of the sky. p The Soloist is also equipped with an LCD display that coordinates the built-in clock, source, timers, and other functions. The full-featured alarm and sleep timer, meanwhile, come in handy should you locate the Soloist in a bedroom. The alarm lets you wake to one of Sirius's more than 130 digital streams--including music, news, talk, sports, or entertainment--as well as recorded Sirius content or an iPod playlist. The sleep timer works in the opposite direction, playing your Sirius or iPod tunes for 10 to 90 minutes (in 10-minute increments) until you fall asleep. p Other details include a 20-watt Tripath amplifier; five built-in equalization settings (flat, classic, rock, pop, and jazz); a dynamic bass boost function that improves the low frequency response; a USB connection for hooking up to your PC; line and auxiliary inputs and a line output for connecting external audio sources to the system; a headphone jack for private listening; and a wireless remote with buttons for virtually all of the system's functions, including a 0-9 direct keypad for selecting Sirius channels. The Soloist, which measures 12.62 by 7.88 by 4.62 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one- year warranty. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr Soloist sound system, AC/DC power adapter with 6-foot cord, wireless remote with battery, antenna with 21-foot cord, Sportster docking cradle, Starmate/Stratus cradle adapter, Stiletto docking cradle, iPod docking cradle, clock battery, user's manual.

 Not bad, not great November 2, 2008
I bought this to replace my existing Xact boombox account with my Sportster account. I wanted to save a few pennies each month and believe Xact products and support are junk. br /br /Pluses: It looks great, classy. I could use my iPod on it. All definite pluses.br /br /Minus are more: The sound is so-so. The boombox had great base and resonated nicely. This, which uses an electrostatic technology, is very crisp, but lacks base. I'm still tinkering with the sound quality adjustments, but it is a noticeable variance.br /br /Also, the remote transmission/reception is poor. I must stand three feet or less from it to get an accurate power-off or else the unit cycles through the different modes: iPod, line in, etc. The remote uses the same button for Power and Mode. I'm not sure if this is a battery strength issue as I'm using the one that was enclosed.br /br /I'll keep it. But I'll keep the deactivated Xact handy in a closet.
Great price nice radio October 18, 2008
I puchased this a re-manufacture item for 34.00 regular is 150.00 and I am very satisfied . The con is the sound is not comparable to a conventional boom box. However it suits my needs at work for a low volume radio. The sound is not directional and will fill the room.
 Great sound for a great price September 19, 2008
Easy to use product at a great price. Good sound from a small unit. I liked how it fits all portable and pulg and play Sirius radios. Another nice feature is it takes any Ipods as well.
Best $50 I have ever spent September 17, 2008
First, I'm not sure why Amazon has it for over $100. I paid only $55 at Fry's. I used to listen to Howard on Sirius through their website at work until the Sirius website was blocked. I was in a pure state of panic until I found this unit. It now sits on my desk and I'm again able to listen to Howard all day. The antenna also sits on my desk next to the unit, about 10 feet from the window. The signal is absolutely crystal clear!! Much better reception than what I get in my car.
Great Sound, Easy to Use, Extra Inputs September 7, 2008
This is a great sounding and excellent all-around product. It sounds stellar, even for its diminutive size and extraordinary thinness. There are extra inputs, two actually, for your other audio devices. Switching to these inputs is done by pressing the central selector button on the front. It's a snap. Volume control is digital but it works fine. Blue display is pleasing to the eye and not too bright. (One glitch is that the full-featured, well-designed remote doesn't seem to be compatible with my Sportster 5 radio. Using any button on the remote unintentionally changes the channels on radio.) If you have a Sirius radio, the Soloist is a top choice for a compact, home-based platform.br /br /((Dr. Simeon Hein is the author of OPENING MINDS: A Journey of Extraordinary Encounters, Crop Circles, and Resonance and PLANETARY INTELLIGENCE, the music CDs OPENING SKIES and DANCING MAN, and is a regular satellite radio listener.)
