Our take on the Soundfreaq™ Sound Stack

Let the Soundfreaq Sound Stack give you a stack of great-sounding audio options. Use the system wirelessly with your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, portable gaming console, or tablet. The system delivers robust, detailed sound from your music, videos, games and apps.

High-quality sound with plenty of bass

The Sound Stack's four full-range speakers are reinforced with Kevlar to ensure accurate reproduction. Twin subwoofers deliver smooth, natural-sounding bass. And because there are two subs working together to handle the signal, you get accurate lows with no distortion — even at maximum volume.

Soundfreaq's proprietary UQ3 spatial enhancement processor further enhances the sound. This advanced circuitry expands the system's soundfield, giving you truly room-filling audio with the press of a button.

Docking space for your iPhone or iPad

Front and center on the system is a dock for your iPod, iPhone — or even your iPad. The system's flat base provides stable support for your tablet. You can play music from your docked device while it automatically charges.

Wireless playback — with any Bluetooth device

Whether you use an Apple or a non-Apple portable, you can enjoy great audio with the Sound Stack. njoy music from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or PDA. You can also wirelessly stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled laptop or PC. And you can also use the Bluetooth functionality of your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to play music through the system without docking.

iPad docked

Dock your favorite Apple iOS device, even your iPad.

The system uses Bluetooth A2DP, a wireless protocol that supports minimal compression and low distortion. It also supports streaming of Apple lossless files from iOS devices.

Remote control options

The system comes with its own remote. Hidden in the right side of the Sound Stack is a special storage compartment. A magnet holds the remote in place so it doesn't tumble out when you open the panel.

You can also download a free Soundfreaq Remote app. There's a version for your iPhone. iPod touch, or iPad, and one for Android phones. This app turns your device into a touchscreen remote, giving you full control over the system. The screen menus make it easy to select songs, and navigate playlists — all through the Bluetooth connection between your device and the Sound Stack. The app also lets your device control the system's built-in FM tuner.

Multi-function charger and digital inputs

Of course the Sound Stack will automatically charge your docked iPod, iPhone or iPad. But what about other devices? Not to worry. The system's USB port lets you charge Android and BlackBerry® portables, too.

With the Sound Stack you're not just limited to playing portable audio devices, either. Use the system's optical digital input to connect it directly to your Apple TV, Blu-ray player, or game console for high-quality sound.
