    Product Description

    Bluetooth range is affected by walls, obstructions, and movement. For optimal performance, place the product in your room at line of sight, so it is unaffected by walls, furniture, etc. Maximum range will be achieved when using devices with Bluetooth 4.0. Battery life may vary based on temperature, age, and volume usage of product. Troubleshooting If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source, musical instrument, or microphone. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of Tailgater using the Master Volume knob. If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your so und source to lower the ba ss level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occu rs. You can also control EQ using the free ION Block Rocker app for iOS and Android. If there is a high-pitched whist ling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker. If there is poor AM reception: Disconnect AC power for optimal AM radio recep tion. To further adjust AM reception, move entire unit. If you can’t hear the microphone over the music volume: Turn down the music vo lume from your source. If you can’t play music from a flash drive: The USB port is only for charging USB devices.

    Great for their intended purpose
    4 Stars
    Great for their intended purpose
    I bought two of these and use them for tailgating, picnics, and trips to the racetrack. For their intended purpose, they do a great job. I use them mostly to amplify sound from my TV, but also to play music and occasionally I use the included mic to make announcements if the party is large enough to need it (some of our tailgates are 60-80 people). They are loud and clear at volumes that are more than enough to cover the area of the party, and the included mic in surprisingly clear and doesn't feed back even if someone absent-mindedly leaves it on right in front of the speaker. Bluetooth connects quickly and reliably, and the batteries last about forever - we used them throughout a 5-hour tailgate and the batteries went down one bar.Only thing that's a bit annoying is the lack of an auction out. For sound from my TV I just use a 3.5mm splitter and run audio to both speakers - it's not stereo but it does get good signal to both speakers and gives better coverage when the party area is wider. But you can only pair a Bluetooth device like a smart phone or tablet with one device at a time, so when I'm playing music from my phone via Bluetooth, there's no way to get music from both speakers. If your phone has a 3.5mm out (mine doesn't), you could use the same splitter arrangement I use for the TV, but then you lose the convenience of being able to carry and use your phone for other things while the music is playing. Having an auxiliary out to "daisy chain" speakers together would be a nice feature.If you're planning to perform music or you want sound reinforcement for a more important event like an outdoor wedding, you will certainly want to invest in purchasing or renting proper PA loudspeakers and amplification. But for a tailgate, picnic, backyard barbecue, etc., these are perfect.
