I lucked out finding one of these on special at Wal-Mart when I was looking for something better than those bulky and dull sounding boom boxes for classroom use. There are 2 aux ins, which gives you amazing compatibility. iPod dock, card ram, usb-- just incredible what you can connect to this! First I tested by connecting to my Macbook Pro. I am completely impressed by the sound. If you want hyped, unnatural sound, like a lot of people are accustomed to today (the subwoofer crowd, for example), you will be disappointed. However, if you like a rich natural sound, like has it in spades! By rich, natural sound I mean that the lows, mids and highs are balanced. The separation of the sounds is the best I ever heard in a portable unit. When your audio source is in stereo, it's obviously not mono. BTW, I have had various incarnations of progressively higher tech recording studios in my house, so when I say this, you can take it to the bank. Because the sound isn't hyped, I am going to mix with this as a monitor (along with my near fields, etc.) Play "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor (the original studio version) through it. The tom tom fills smack and ring as if they are in front of your face! It's lightweight, which helps getting it to the classroom. And the students like the sound-- it's very clear. If it weren't, I would have returned it the same day. Can not be beaten for NATURAL sound quality, massive compatibility with various input abilities, and I like the portability. The bottom stand part wouldn't stay on very well for me (it slides in). I epoxied it on permanently with a couple cents of epoxy I had around the house. Super stable base now, but I wouldn't go so far as to deduct any points off for that because of all the positives.Get more detail about Philips DC910/37 Shelf Bar 30-Watt Audio System with iPod Dock (Black).
