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.
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.
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.
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.

Product Description The Soloist sound system gives you a versatile, amplified sound dock for a number of SIRIUS plug-and-play and portable radios. It even includes an adapter for your iPod, giving you even more options for music playback.
Great valueNovember 25, 2008 My husband had a sportster boombox that his replaced. Great sound, added feature of clock is nice too.
Not bad, not greatNovember 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Pluses: It looks great, classy. I could use my iPod on it. All definite pluses.
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.
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.
I'll keep it. But I'll keep the deactivated Xact handy in a closet.
Great price nice radioOctober 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 priceSeptember 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 spentSeptember 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.
