The Soundcast OutCast Is No Outcast

The Soundcast ICO-411 Outcast will be the talk of your outdoor event, and most certainly will not be an outcast in the audio media world. The OutCast is equipped with a weather-resistant, wireless speaker that brings music to your ears through its multi-directional stereo sound through your house, yard, tailgate, or pool. This product has a broadcast range of up to 350 feet, and can receive transmissions through walls, floors, and ceiling without any tangled wires to keep you from your audio media.

The OutCast can receive and control wireless transmissions from various devices such as your iPod, computer, MP3 player, and even your television. The onboard controls allow you to adjust volume, track up/down, and even pause or play audio from remote operation of your iPod or computer. No burning CDs, no lost iPod, and no MP3 players dropped in the pool.

When Being an OutCast is a Good Thing

The OutCast has audio capabilities like no other wireless speaker on the market. With an 8″ downward firing woofer and four 3″ high frequency drivers in an omni-directional array, this product projects bass you can feel thumping in your chest and a high range of notes with the clarity of a high-end stereo.

In this case, being an OutCast is a good thing. It prevents your media from being interrupted by inferior technology and interference. The 100-watt built-in amplifier of a single OutCast speaker allows you to know without question that you have more than enough power to listen to your audio media in any noisy situation.

It’s Easy Being an OutCast

Not only does OutCast have impeccable sound, but this quality is also easy to access. The first step to setting up your OutCast is charging the built-in battery, but you can also use AC power if you just can’t wait to become an OutCast user. You can be confident that if you leave it outside, it will trudge through any storm, soccer ball, or puppy.

The Rest of the SoundCast Family

The SoundCast System is a simple coordination of transmitters and receivers, in which OutCast is just one of many receiver options. SoundCast uses frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology. This means that the transmitter constantly and automatically searches for open channels in the 2.4GHz band. This constant movement allows the system to avoid interference with other products in your vicinity including telephones, cell phones, microwaves, and other products. But thanks to this technology, these are things you never have to worry about.
