Which Dock Is for You?
JBL's been in the iPod dock business for awhile, 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 what kind of pod person you are:
For the Power Hungry
For those who seek more volume, the On Stage 400ID ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XQ1HU ) 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 ( http://www..com/dp/B0016BI0TA )
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 ( http://www..com/dp/B0016BI0TA ) runs on four AAAs,
whereas the On Stage IIIP ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XMN7C ) and
On Stage III ( http://www..com/dp/B0017T7PGK ) run on six. Take
your music to the beach, on camping trips--wherever you can't
bear to be without it.
For the iPhone Techies
The iPhone owner--if you can stand to put the thing down--has a
couple choices. The On Stage IIIP ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XMN7C ) provides a smaller and more portable option, or the On Stage
200ID ( http://www..com/dp/B0016BQS12 ) gives a bit more power.
These two docks support all docking iPod models as well.
For the Featurephiles or Heavy ers
Some of us just aren't content with basic functionality; we need
more buttons, more lights. Others just need a little nudge to
wake up in the morning. If this is you, then the On Time 200ID ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XIVJQ ) and 400IHD ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XIVKK ) 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 ( http://www..com/dp/B0017XIVKK ) 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 iPod even when 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 III system is compatible with dockable versions
of the iPod, including the iPod touch, iPod classic 6G, 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
radio, and laptops.
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 III 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 III system.
Additional Features
* IR remote--The JBL On Stage III 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, even when
not connected to the computer or if the system is off. Advanced
Technology
The JBL On Stage III loudspeaker dock combines many proprietary
technologies to provide the highest quality sound, astonishing
bass, and clear and accurate sound 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
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 III 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. Consider rechargeable batteries (e.g., NiMH) to reduce waste
and help the environment.
