Notes:
  • *The iPhone 6+, iPad 4, iPad air, and iPad mini all require Cable Jive's Lightning Dock Extender cable (897LDOCKX2, sold separately); this due to the fact that these iPhone and iPad device are too big to seat in the speaker's integrated dock.
  • Not compatible any Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad device which features the 30-pin dock connector.
  • Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available.

Full-Range Sound: The SoundDock XT employs Bose proprietary digital signal processing (DSP), and acoustic design to produce the kind of full-range sound you'd expect from a larger, more expensive system.

Aux Input: The SoundDock XT has a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting a external portable audio source other than your Apple iPod or iPhone (with Lightning-connector).

AC Power Adapter: The SoundDock XT is powered by the supplied AC power adapter only (it does not operate on battery power). The SoundDock XT provides power to charge your docked iPod or iPhone when plugged into an AC wall outlet, even if the speaker system is off.

  • Input: 100-250V ~ 50/60Hz, 0.5A Max
  • Output: 12V - 1.35A

Non-Slip Feet: The bottom of the SoundDock XT features four surface-gripping rubber pads to provide a stable platform on most surfaces.

Q
if the phone rings does the music stop?
simy  Sep 07, 2016

A
Yes. It is all tied into the phone itself. The music stops when the phone rings just as it does when it is not attached to the speakers. This is a very nice unit.
judy brown  Sep 20, 2016
A
Yes, the music mutes and the phone rings. If you ignore the call, the music will start again automatically.
john  Sep 07, 2016

Sorry. Never happened

Q
rechargeable/portable?
jan  Dec 01, 2014

A
Not rechargeable. The unit only works with AC power and wall outlet. It is portable, due to the smaller size, but only operates when plugged in. I use mine as a clock radio/phone charger. Would recommend. Good sound quality for the price and size.
timothy  Dec 03, 2014

Not really , small and light enough yet needs a power plug. Although a bonus fits iPhone 6+ perfectly (without a case )
alberto  Dec 03, 2014
Q
Will this item work with iPods that have protective covers on them? For instance, if I have a "skin" or something low profile to protect the iPod, will it still work with said protection still on the iPod.

Sorry, Joe, it really depends on the thickness, I believe. I used it with my iPhone and take it out of any cover it is in. I absolutely love my unit and the quality and convenience outweighs the process of engaging it. Good Luck!

No. Wife has to take off her iphone cover prior to using it.
