Audyssey

Our take on the Audyssey Lower East Side Audio Dock Air

The Lower East Side Audio Dock Air is as smart and sophisticated as its New York City namesake. This sleek black box doesn't need to have a lot of ugly cables and buttons sprouting from it. The Lower East Side (LES) powered speaker system uses Apple AirPlay to wireless stream music from any device using iTunes. So you can play songs from your iPhone; the soundtrack to the video you're watching on your iPad; PANDORA® Internet radio from your iPod touch, or podcasts from your computer.

Audyssey Lower East Side Audio Dock with Apple AirPlay

No-compromise sound quality

Audyssey Lower East Side Audio Dock with Apple AirPlay

Don't think you have to trade audio quality for wireless convenience. The LES Audio Dock Air is compact but powerful. The system features two 3/4" dome tweeters to produce high frequencies with clarity, and two 3" midrange woofers that deliver accurate, detailed sound. Two 4" passive bass radiators reinforce the low end. With the LES system, your music will sound full and natural.

LES is more, especially in more rooms

Apple AirPlay lets you link compatible systems together and control them all from a single source. So you could have a Lower East Side Audio Dock Air in your bedroom, another in your kitchen, and a third in your living room — all playing that great tune from your iPhone. And AirPlay lets you adjust the volume separately for each unit, so that song can play softly in the bedroom, while blasting out in the kitchen.

You can also stream music from your iPad to one LES Audio Dock Air, while playing music from your computer wirelessly through another. And the system has an auxiliary input, so you can connect a non-AirPlay portable, such as a PDA, and enjoy music from it as well.

Enjoying this AirPlay Speaker

After using buying and using the Bose Soundlink Wireless Mobile which is great bluetooth solution I decided to take the AirPlay plunge with this unit. This Audyssey fills a room whereas you really know where the Bose is placed. The use of WiFi really helps with the range. I don't have to worry about wandering around the house and dropping the signal. The only strange thing you have to get use to with AirPlay is an initial lag in the sound starting (buffer?). Everything sounds great on the unit. Be aware the iPhone 4S has an AirPlay issue which drops the signal whereas I have never had trouble with an iPad.
Pros:
Great clear sound filling a room.
Cons:
AirPlay lag.

Great sounding, compact Airplay speakers

Just received my shipment of two Audyssey Lower East Side Audio Dock Air. (Excellent packaging). This is not a typical dock as you cannot "dock" your ipod with the unit but you can plug in an ipod or other player through the jack in the back of the unit. The real reason to buy this unit is the Airplay feature that works with iTunes and allows you to put the unit anywhere there is an electrical outlet and within range of your wifi network. Airplay setup was simple and I was able to control all my iTunes music from my iPhone and from my daughter's iPod as well as from my main iMac. Bottom line is that it sounded great after I adjusted the equalizer within iTunes to tame some of the bass and drop the high frequencies a bit in my room (all tile floor). I have owned the B&W Zeppelin and while this unit does not have as accurate and punchy bass it is surprising in the amount of bass that is created from such a small, discreet package (unlike the B&W Zeppelin which will be a prominent feature of any room due to it's shape, size and chrome accent). The sound is very nice on the Audyssey and it is more than enough to fill a fairly large room as it fills my living room that is approximately 16ftx25ft. You can also have multiple units set up and control the volume separately for each.
Pros:
Easy airplay setup, Excellent and warm sound after adjusting the iTunes equalizer, can easily fill a fairly large room (25ft x 16ft) with music.
Cons:
Had to adjust iTunes equlizer to get the sound just right in my room (tile floors).
