Audyssey Smart Speaker Technology: The South of Market Audio Dock employs Audyssey Smart Speaker Technology for distortion-free, powerful, and precise sound. Audyssey Smart Speaker Technology even maintains balanced sound at low volumes.

Audyssey BassXT: The South of Market Audio Dock has a proprietary technology called Audyssey BassXT, which extends the bass response of small speakers to reproduce the lowest frequencies. The result is deeper bass.

2-Way Speaker Design: The South of Market Audio Dock contains two 4" long-throw side-firing woofers and two 0.75" silk-dome angled tweeters inside an acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure for deep bass, warm mids, and clear highs. Auydssey carefully calibrated the drivers' placement and voicing so that frequency and phase relationships remain intact and sound waves emanate outward to create a stereo image. The width of the sound field may vary due to reflections off of nearby surfaces depending on where you've placed the Audio Dock relative to other objects in the room (and the physical dimensions and construction of the room).

Class-D Bi-Amplification: Four separate Class-D amplifiers with active crossovers power the dock's two-way speaker system for greater dynamics, improved performance, and uncompromised sound quality.

iPhone App: Download the free South of Market iPhone App onto  your iPod or iPhone to create personalized EQ curves and tailor the music to your taste. Designed specifically for the South of Market Audio Dock and iPhone or iPod Touch, the South of Market App gives you the ability to customize your sound. The app features Fast Slope Tone Controls, a new way of adjusting bass and treble using Audyssey Tilt Control, and a selection of Audyssey's Dynamic Volume presets, including background listening.

• Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Automatically controls the level you hear so no content gets too loud or too soft. For movies, audio books and vocals it makes voices more clear and understandable. For music listening, it maintains consistent levels, eliminating the need for continual volume adjustments.
• Audyssey Tilt: A convenient single control that allows you to solve tonal anomalies in recordings by "tilting" the balance to more highs or more lows. Audyssey developed this new technology and it makes its debut in the Audio Dock.
• Audyssey Fast Slope Tone: Allows you to adjust treble and bass using a newly developed method that minimizes interactions to give you better control over just the bass or just the treble.
• Custom EQ: Create EQ curves to control the levels of specific frequency ranges. Name them for storage and easy recall.
• Background Listening Mode: You can even turn on the "Background Listening" mode for perfect dinner conversation music.

Note: The South of Market iPhone App is compatible with iPod touch and iPhone running iOS 3.1.3 or later.
