The large 8-inch sub makes for deep bass that sounds great with minimal distortion. I have seen air purifiers that look better than it does, but it delivers the goods when it comes to sound quality. The SoundCast OutCast is large and rather ugly.

If you run out of juice you can always plug it in and keep the music going. The battery takes a few hours to charge and I found at lower background music volume the claimed ten hours of battery life is very attainable. However, if a guest spills a drink on it or if you get caught in a sudden thunderstorm the SoundCast OutCast system will survive. Still I wouldn't want to leave it out in the rain or let it stay out when the sprinklers are running. The bottom of the unit is protected form lizards, dogs and small children with mesh netting. The speaker is rated to be water resistant, but it does use a ported design meaning the woofer is exposed. You can control the volume of your iPod docked in the iCast dock along with skipping tracks, pause play, power on and off and a button for turning the blue Led lighting on or off. This is appreciated when the bass starts booming and no rattles are produced though.Ĭontrols on top of the SoundCast OutCast only work an iPod and there is not display. The fit of the battery is very tight making for some fiddling to get it installed.

Setup of the SoundCast OutCast system is very easy the only tedious part of the entire process is installing the battery into the speaker. The transmitter and speaker communicate on a 2.4GHz frequency band and automatically jumps channels until a clear channel is found. The battery life is good for a claimed 10 hours of playback. The speaker is powered by a 100W digital amp and is built out of water resistant plastic.

The speaker is large and has a downward firing 8-inch woofer and four 3-inch high frequency drivers in an omni-directional array that assures no matter what side of the SoundCast OutCast you are on you get good sound. The speaker is powered by an internal NiMH battery pack and the speaker has an AC port that can recharge the battery and run the speaker at the same time. The iCast transmitter connects to your iPod and sends the music streaming wirelessly to the large outdoor speaker. The SoundCast OutCast speaker system includes two pieces, the OutCast speaker and the iCast transmitter. We are going to take a look at the SoundCast OutCast speaker system. Despite that pool parties and barbeques are popular past times during the warm weather and if you need some tunes to go along with your outdoor activities we have your review today.

Summer is here and that means more time spent outdoors, assuming you live in a climate that’s not a bazillion degrees outside like Texas at this time of year.
