Review Of The Bose Soundlink Air
Hi Everyone! My Bose Soundlink Air Airplay system arrived this morning, its all set up and working so here are my thoughts on the system. The Bose Soundlink Air looks like a small boombox, it stands around 17 centimetres high and is around 20 centimetres from left to right. The front contains the steel mesh speaker grill and the rest is hard shiny plastic. The system is portable so can be moved from room to room, it is powered by either by the supplied AC adapter or the optional rechargeable battery pack. The Soundlink Air can connect to a variety of sources through its Line-in jack but the main way to connect to other devices is through a Wi-Fi network, from here you have total control of the System via the supplied Remote Controller and I'll illustrate this shortly. There are 2 ways to get the Soundlink Air connected to your Wi-Fi network, the first involves connecting the system via the supplied USB cable to your computer, opening your browser and downloading a piece of software, the software is then run and you follow a series of instructions to have the system connect to your network. The Alternate setup method involves joining the built-in Wi-Fi network of the Soundlink Air, opening a browser on your computer or mobile device and setting up the system from the displayed HTML Interface, I chose this method. Once the Soundlink Air is connected to your Wi-Fi network you're ready to start streaming your music/audio content, you use iTunes to do this or an Airplay device manager such as Airfoil for Windows or Mac, of course you can use the Airplay button in the Music App on your IOS device to start the streaming process. Once audio is streaming to the Soundlink air you can manipulate what's being played with the supplied remote controller, you can play/pause/stop or turn the Soundlink to Standby, skip between tracks and so on. The remote controller has all the buttons detented so they won't be knocked or pressed by accident. The Soundlink Air itself only contains 3 controls, the volume up/down buttons which are touch buttons and the Reset button on the bottom which is used to reset the system or to join the Wi-Fi network of the Soundlink Air, you can join this network either to set up the system to join your home network or for streaming directly from your mobile device etc to the Soundlink Air when out of range of your home network. The touch volume up and down buttons can be used without problem if you have no vision as they're indented into the right hand side of the system. For a portable system the Soundlink Air exhibits very nice audio characteristics but what else would you expect from bose? The price is fairly competitive when compared to other Airplay speaker systems on the market and most of these don't sound as good and there are certainly very few portable systems around, the price of the Soundlink Air is around $450 excluding the rechargeable battery. A recessed handle in the back of the system allows for easy moving from room to room, the handle also acts as a passive radiator for low frequency sounds. I have no hesitation in recommending this system particularly if you're looking for something portable which can be moved around the house and requires no connection to any of your devices. A Bluetooth version of the Soundlink is also available. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
More On The Bose Soundlink Air Speaker
Hi! Here are some additional notes that I forgot to mention in my review of the Bose Soundlink Air Airplay Speaker system. The system will beep when power is connected and will play a set of very different tones when connection is established to your Wi-Fi network, in other words you don't need sight to know the condition of the system. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

RE: Looking for a Specific Type of Connector
Hi, I didn't catch the original request. I purchased a Y-cable from Radio shack last year. It has 2 stereo mail jacks connecting to 1 female stereo jack. So, I can connect 2 stereo audio sources to my head phones. For example, I can connect my Bookport Plus to one side and my pc to the other and listen to both with my headphones. Don't know if this is what you are looking for...But, it is an option.

Re: Looking for a Specific Type of Connector
Yup, that is exactly what I am looking for and I found one on Amazon for $2.39, and free shipping. Had to make sure it was stereo though, as the first y cable I ffound just merged left and right channels into one female jack. But reading some reviews assured me that the one I ordered has stereo male jacks on it.

AC line filter question
Hi all, I am experiencing some sort of high pitch line noise in my recordings. I am using an Allen - Heath mixing board with a usb interface into my Windows 7 computer using Audacity 2.0.4. I was told that I should look into an AC line adapter, but I'm afraid that the entire electrical system for tha room I am using is on one circut, including overhead lights and fans. I wish to be able to get rid of this line noise that exists even with the overhead fan off. Can anyone make a good suggestion as to what I should do for this problem?

Re: Looking for a program or utility
Hi Don, You may like to have a look at the program Balabolka which is free. However I don't use it myself so I'm not sure if it is able to perform batch conversions of files in the way you want.

Re: Looking for a program or utility
I have used just about every TTS program out there. The first one I use to use was a thing called Dspeach. It is free, but the man askes for a donation. It will work and does a good job. The one I finally settled on was Text Aloud! I bought the upgrade and it does a nice job. But soon, I am getting Open Book which is suppose to handle this task. But for now I use TA!

Re: Looking for a Specific Type of Connector
Hi, It's because the outputs will not be the same in each device. If you turn both of them on and loading the output of one divice will be ok, bacause it was made for that impedance match. The other device might not match those phones. Like I said one output can feed two inputs, The other way where two outputs feeding the same load is not alwayse going to work. That's why I sugested the earphone amp. or if you need to have two outputs driving one earphone a small mixer is the best way. The little sampson mixers around $50 are very nice. -Original Message- From: Evan Reese Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 12:50 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Looking for a Specific Type of Connector Hmmm, why would two inputs and one output damage one or more pieces of equipment.

copying music onto a thumb drive to play in the car
Hello fellow pc-audio listers: I'd like to download some music to put onto a thumb drive to which my Parents can play in the car. Unlike my Dad's car, my Mom's car doesn't have a cd player, and when we go on road trips to Canada, we often use her car. So I was just wondering, once I have the songs I want downloaded to the computer, do I have to do anything special to the files in order to get them to play correctly in the car? Should I save all the files as one long .m3u file or can I just put the files on the drive as individual mp3s. The way the thumb drive in my Mom's car works, is simple. All you have to do is put the thumb drive in, and the music starts playing. Then, when you're finished listening, you simply pull the drive out and the radio starts playing again. Cool huh?

Re: AC line filter question
That doesn't sound like an AC line problem. If you had an AC line problem you would hear a 60 or 120 HZ hum. it wouldn't be high pitched.

RE: copying music onto a thumb drive to play in the car
I shouldn't think you'd have to do anything to the files. Other then save them as yucky MP3. I wish more things could hand lausless formats and as such had more memory. As rto the M3U list, can the car's media player handle them? What's more, this only matters if you have a particular order in which you want said songs played. An M3U thinging is a play list. If you can navigate such a list and go from song to song, well then, it might just be more convenient to create a M3U play list. Just find out if the Media player can take it though. The car's owner manual should have a section on this I'd hope. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Mike Bernard Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 9:15 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: copying music onto a thumb drive to play in the car Hello fellow pc-audio listers: I'd like to download some music to put onto a thumb drive to which my Parents can play in the car.
