About the Sony RDP-XA700IP
Apple AirPlay for wireless music
Apple AirPlay for wireless music
Yes, the Sony RDP-XA700IP has a built-in dock for your Apple portable, but you can enjoy music from your iTunes® library wirelessly, thanks to built-in Apple AirPlay technology. This speaker can wirelessly connect with any Wi-Fi®-enabled device that uses iTunes — such as an iPod touch®, iPad, laptop, or iPhone.
Use your portable Apple device to choose songs and playlists, select the RDP-XA700IP and adjust ithe volume. Listen to songs from your iPod touch or watch a movie on your iPad while the soundtrack plays through the system.
Versatile dock for all Apple players
You can dock just about any Apple handheld device on the RDP-XA700IP. The system's dock provides stable support for iPhones and iPods, and larger iPads. It even accommodates players in protective cases. The system's velvety black cloth covering and stainless steel accents make a stylish home for your player.
Detailed sound and solid bass
The RDP-XA700IP may look compact, but it can deliver big, room-filling sound. Sophisticated Clear Phase™ circuitry helps reduce distortion and give your music presence. A pair of uniquely designed 1-15/16" damperless "Magnetic Fluid" speakers produce clean highs and full midrange. A forward-firing 3-5/8" woofer and two passive radiators crank out firm, full-sounding bass.
The system features front-firing speakers, and a woofer
with rear-facing passive radiators for stronger bass.
Free app gives you more control options
The system comes with its own remote for basic controls such as play, pause, power and track skip. But with Sony's D-Sappli app (available as free download from iTunes®), you can enjoy more options. Select from different preset EQ curves, or engage a customizable graphic equalizer to adjust the sound to your tastes. Or turn your docked player and RDP-XA700IP into a digital clock radio. The app gives you a choice of clock faces for your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad and lets you program multiple alarms. You can also set sleep timers, as well as what music you want to awaken to.
