About the Soundcast™ OutCast Jr.

Tara W.

Its weather-resistant design and built-in rechargeable battery let you place the speaker anywhere you want — on the patio, near the pool, or in the middle of the backyard. Best of all, this system comes with a separate dock that sends your iPod's music to the speaker wirelessly.

Enjoy premium sound outside your home. SoundCast's OutCast Jr. speaker system offers incredible portability and durability. Its weather-resistant design and built-in rechargeable battery let you place the speaker anywhere you want — on the patio, near the pool, or in the middle of the backyard. Best of all, this system comes with a separate dock that sends your iPod's music to the speaker wirelessly.

Wirelessly connect to your iPod
The included iCast docking station makes it easy to listen to music wirelessly from your iPod — whether you have your player inside or outside. Keep your iPod clear of the pool deck or the automatic sprinklers in the yard and still enjoy your favorite music anywhere. The speaker and docking station automatically link up and use a proprietary network that's independent of your home network. If you want to connect a different audio component, there's an additional input on the speaker.

High-performance outdoor sound
One down-firing 6-1/2" woofer provides rich low-frequency notes — a difficult feat in outdoor listening areas. The OutCast Jr.'s four 3" drivers are positioned in an omni-directional array for clear sound regardless of your seating position. And a built-in 50-watt digital amplifier was designed to perfectly power this complement of drivers.

Expand your SoundCast system
Add a second speaker for better coverage in a large outdoor area, or use an iCast receiver to add music to another room. And you can use as many as three different transmitters to create different systems in your home — use one to play your child's iPod in her bedroom and the game room, and another to play your iPod in the kitchen and on the patio.

Product Research

Features

Overview: This SoundCast Wireless Weather Resistant Outdoor Speaker System includes the SoundCast OutCast Jr. weather-resistant wireless powered outdoor speaker and the SoundCast iCast Transmitter with iPod dock. The SoundCast wireless outdoor speaker system allows you to wirelessly transmit audio from the iCast transmitter's docked iPod or connected audio device inside the house to the outdoor wireless powered speaker outside on your deck, patio, or porch.

Note: The OutCast Jr. wireless outdoor speaker can be placed outdoors, but the iCast transmitter must be installed indoors.

iCast Transmitter: The iCast Transmitter features an integrated iPod dock and a 3.5mm jack, which can be used as either an auxiliary input or headphone output. The iCast Transmitter allows you to wirelessly transmit audio from your docked iPod or connected audio device to the system's outdoor wireless powered speaker. If you wish, you can connect the iCast Transmitter to a set of headphones, for private listening.

Note: The volume control on the iPod does not function while in the dock, so you can only adjust the volume if the headphones speakers permit it.

Wireless Outdoor Speaker: The SoundCast OutCast Jr. is a weather resistant, wireless, powered outdoor speaker that lets you enjoy rich multi-directional stereo sound anywhere. The OutCast Jr. has a broadcast range of up to 350'outdoors (150' indoors) from the iCast Transmitter. You can listen to an MP3 player, iPod, audio system, or your TV from the included iCast transmitter. This outdoor speaker includes a rechargeable battery, external battery charger, a 12volt adapter cable, power cord for direct connection to any outlet, and a 3.5mm line input for direct play. The included rechargeable battery allows for 4-18 hours of uninterrupted play (based on volume level).

Note: The SoundCast OutCast Jr. also supports transmission from SoundCast's UAT (universal audio transmitter) and SpeakerCast system (both sold separately).

Weather Resistant: The SoundCast OutCast Jr. is made of UV stabilized, high-impact ABS plastic with water-tight seals, so it can withstand the harshest of elements.

Note: The OutCast Jr. is not water-proof and cannot be submerged in water. It also does not float.

Omni-Directional Speaker Array: The OutCast Jr. features one 6.5" downward-firing woofer and four 3" high-frequency drivers in an omni-directional array for a broad soundstage with deep bass and clear highs.

Digital Amplifier: The OutCast Jr. is equipped with a built-in 50 watt multi-channel digital amplifier for greater efficiency and bigger sound.

Turn-On Volume: The OutCast Jr. will remember the current volume level after you power the unit off. The last level will be present when you power the OutCast Jr. back on.

FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) Technology: The SoundCast OutCast Jr. is an interference free, wireless 2.4 GHz outdoor speaker. The OutCast Jr. uses frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology in which a SoundCast transmitter (sold separately) constantly and automatically searches for open channels in the 2.4GHz band and jumps to them to avoid interference with other products (such as cordless telephones, radio controlled toys, cell phones, microwave ovens, remotes, and wireless routers), while telling the SoundCast OutCast Jr. which frequency to use, and ultimately sending your music wirelessly to the outdoor speaker.

Wireless Range: The OutCast Jr. wireless outdoor speaker has a range of up to 350' when wirelessly connected to iCast Transmitter.

iPod/iPhone Controls: There are three buttons on the top surface of the outdoor speaker which are used to control your docked iPod/iPhone in the iCast Transmitter. The OutCast Jr. offers basic iPod/iPhone playback controls (Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Reverse, Previous/Skip). This way you can control your  music in one room, while your iPod is docked in another room. Your iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or touchscreen will remain fully functional when docked for advanced playback and menu control.

Note: The OutCast Jr. does not offer iPod/iPhone text display. You will still need to view song/artist information from your iPod or iPhone's LCD screen.

Auxiliary Inputs: There is a 3.5mm auxiliary input on the side-panel of the OutCast Jr. which can be used to connect a portable audio device directly to the outdoor speaker. The iCast Transmitter also has a 3.5mm auxiliary input so you can wirelessly transmit audio from a connected device (other than iPod) inside your home to the outdoor speaker.

Dual Speaker Configuration: It is possible to play two OutCast Jrs.(751OCJ410) from the iCast transmitter. There is a selector switch (1-3) on the side of the outdoor speaker and the iCast transmitter that allows you to configure the speaker in one of two ways.

  • Single Stereo: Each outdoor speaker is an individual stereo unit playing both left and right channels on each speaker.
  • Stereo Pair: Each unit is set as part of a stereo pair (left or right).

Note: This feature is only available when using a iCast wireless transmitter. You can not use this features when playing from the OutCast Jr.'s auxiliary input connector.

Power Supply: The SoundCast OutCast Jr. operates off of the included Ni-MH rechargeable battery, AC power, or DC power. The OutCast Jr. come supplied with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery and separate battery charger which provides 4-18 hours of playback time on a single charge. The OutCast Jr. also includes an AC power supply so it can operate off of standard household current. In addition, the OutCast Jr. comes with a cigarette lighter/12-volt adapter so you can use it at tailgate parties or on a boat. The iCast Transmitter operates off of standard household AC current.

Battery Saver Mode: The OutCast Jr. will operate in two different power level modes depending on where you set the volume level. This will allow the unit to maximize battery life during lower listening levels and allow increased power for higher listening levels. In battery save mode the unit will operate up to 18 hours on a single charge. At higher levels the battery life will be between 4 to 7 hours on a single charge.

RF Power Saving Mode: Soundcast's iCast Transmitter has a Power Saving Mode.
