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.

0ther 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.

Buyer's feedback: - * Good sound, docking station isn't great. ...
The sound is great, however when adapting to use the Stiletto the cradle does not fit in quite right. It may be a flaw in manufacturering, as it appears it should screw in, but the holes don't line up properly. Once you get it set into place it connects and works fine however.

Buyer's feedback: - Great
I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He's a gadget lover! He loves this system! We have both Sirius & an ipod. It works great with both. We had a small cookout w/ some friends & used the system w/ our sirius radio. It worked great. The sound quality is good & we don't have a problem picking up a signal anywhere in our house!

Buyer's feedback: - * Good if you don't want to wake up. ...
One of my main reasons for buying this stereo was for the ability to wake up to my ipod. However, it doesn't work half the time. The directions for wake up to the ipod or sirius are abysmal. They tell you how to program the stereo to wake up, but not what to do with your ipod/sirius. I have yet to be able to figure it out which has left me using my ol' phone on through out the night with the volume up. Given my family's penchant for being "morning people" and their love of communication, this means I wake up about an hour earlier than I would prefer everyday. But that's neither here nor there. Just be aware that if you don't care for the alarm then you'll like the product. Although it is difficult to get my ipod into the cradle. I had to take off the case I had on it.

Buyer's feedback: - Awesome!
We love this! The sound quality is great. We bought it for our sirus radio, we don't have an Ipod so I don't know how it sounds with that. We haven't mounted the anntana yet, but we will. Love this product!

Buyer's feedback: - * Sweet Sounds! ...
Before I get too into this review, I would like to say that this review is about the Soloist Universal Sound System, not the Sirius Service nor about my reception (this rocks for me, but your mileage may vary).. Thanks, now on to my humble review.

I received the soloist to go along with my Stiletto 100, and was immediately put off by the skinny speakers. I'm used to having big sounds from bigger speakers, so when I saw these little things, I really expected a tinny, treble sound. I was wrong about this. Maybe it doesn't have the power to shake your house, but it's got a full, rich sound that works well for everything from metal to talk radio, with more than enough volume to fill my room, and, if I remember right (I'm not looking at it right now) but I believe it's got a line out to power your monster system. The Stiletto fits in with a small plastic bit that covers the bottom of the unit as well as holding it in place.
I don't particularly care for the small plastic bits, and I'm sure if I *HAD* to, I could find them again, but they're so easy to misplace..
If I had an iPod, I could connect it to the Soloist, but I don't, so I haven't, but it's nice to know that I can (if you want to send me an iPod to "test" I'll happily do so, but can't guarantee that you'll get it back, call it a donation, I'll agree with you)
Anyway, it's also got a line in, and that works nicely for another mp3 player, or, like me, to test an XM radio before I gave it to my dad.
It's also got an alarm, that I've used on a few occasions, and it seems to work well (I haven't been late for work due to the alarm, just my laziness, and obsession with writing reviews for Amazon instead of getting ready for work).
Overall, I'm very happy with the unit, and more than a little suprised by the quality of the sound of the device, and would recommend it (and have) to anyone who's got a radio or iPod that fits it.
