Speaker Description

The IBCD3816DT is the perfect solution for portable audio. This system connects to all iPods through the certified connection or USB. You can also connect to any MP3 player, cell phone or personal game system through the line input. You can enjoy your music from the slot-loading CD player or AM/FM radio.

What a system! It can play back your favorite music from almost any source. But how does it sound?—Great! The 2.1 audio system features stereo speakers and dual subwoofers. These speakers are driven by 50 watts of total power. To make the sound fit your tastes, the unit includes multiple preset equalizer settings.

The system has many other great features: a full function remote control, video out, line input and headphones jack. You can use the system at home by plugging into the wall or take it on the road with battery power.

Ideal for dorm rooms and backyard barbecues, the iLive 2.1-channel boombox packs a solid array of features into an affordable package. The primary selling point of the IBCD3816DT is its built-in iPod docking station, which not only amplifies the iPod 3G and 4G, iPod video, iPod photo, iPod mini, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle, but also charges the unit while you listen. Users will also dig the included remote control, which lets folks operate all of the aforementioned iPods (except the iPod shuffle) from a distance. It's perfect for parties or lounging on the couch, as you needn't amble up to the unit to adjust the volume or skip a track. The boombox also includes a slot-loading CD player (with support for CD-R/RW formats) and an AM/FM tuner, along with several intuitive knobs and buttons for quick and easy system control.

The boombox owes its smooth audio performance to its pair of stereo speakers and accompanying dual side-firing subwoofers, which deliver thumping bass that's far deeper than most portable iPod speaker systems. In addition, the IBCD3816DT accommodates older iPods and other audio devices--such as MP3 players, personal game systems, and personal CD players--through its auxiliary line input. Add in a video output for playing videos and slideshows on a connected TV and you have a great boombox for the modern media landscape. Other details include a sleek black housing, four preset equalizer settings, an easy-to-read backlit LCD display with a digital clock, and a stereo headphone jack.
