Subject: AirPlay Speakers

Hi!
Since we�ve been discussing airPlay quite a bit lately I thought it time to ask 
the question again, is there a good portable AirPlay speaker still available?
I don�t know the exact answer to that question but if you�re talking about a 
good quality portable AirPlay speaker then I would suggest that such a thing is 
rather thin on the ground.
The irony of all this is that I bought - what I believe to be - one of the best 
Portable Airplay speaker systems to have been produced in the form of the Bose 
Soundlink Air, that was 3 years ago so this model is no longer available.
The Bose Soundlink Air even sounded far different than the usual run of the 
mill stuff from Bose exhibiting quite nice highs, quite a bit of mid range and 
not the overpowering bass you usually hear from Bose stuff.
So why isn�t the Bose Soundlink Air being sold any longer? Well battery life 
isn�t very good at around 3 hours on high volume but I can assure you that no 
one in their right mind would listen to the Bose Soundlink Air at anywhere near 
high volume but - suppose you did - you�d still hear lovely clear sound, how 
the Bose Soundlink Air can still pump out sound with no distortion at such a 
volume in a portable is truly remarkable.
The other problem with the Soundlink Air was that it didn�t actually come with 
a battery, that accessory was sold separately costing a good quarter of the 
value of the system itself but still, well worth it it you wanted a truly 
portable system with a good sound.
Setup is easy enough and the Bose can connect to your iPhone in three different 
ways, �Wi-Fi Direct mode�, the phone communicates directly with the Soundlink 
Air, �Standard Wi-Fi�, the Soundlink Air joins your Home Network via Wi-Fi and 
the Aux-in jack, your choice.
The soundlink Air comes with a very nice remote control that puts volume and 
track selection at your fingertips, though the buttons look like your rotten 
typical rubbery cheap remote control buttons they�re far from cheap, the rubber 
covers nice clicky type buttons, you feel and hear them click.
So why am I mentioning the Soundlink Air if its not available any longer? I did 
find a couple of new Soundlink Air�s available at very reasonable prices to my 
way of thinking, around half of what they were worth originally so - given that 
and if you�re looking for a good AirPlay speaker with plenty of flexibility and 
functionality - then the Bose Soundlink Air - if you can still buy it - is a 
true bargain which you�ll treasure for quite a long time.
List members may remember that I recorded a sample of the Soundlink Air which I 
posted to the list quite some time ago.
And finally, if other list members have suggestions for a good portable AirPlay 
speaker then perhaps they could post them, always interested to hear about 
other devices.
Another good portable AirPlay speaker one might consider is the Denon Cocoon, 
the Cocoon is more functional than the Bose Soundlink Air but is nowhere near 
as powerful.

Re: Preamp for Computer

It sounds quite good for doing things such as reviews.

I've got a friend who has a Shure SM58, I could borrow his and try it out.
I have a Rode M3 condenser microphone which uses a battery, so that should
work.  My card is a Sound Blaster XFI titanium HD, which should have a boost
option.

Depending on whether or not your sound card had a mic boost, the
volume might be too low for a shure sm58. You can test that out. You
would definitely need phantom power for a condenser mic, unless you
got a condenser mic that could run on battery as well asphantom power.

Hello Tim,

Wouldn't the volume be too low when recording with a Shure SM58 and
mini jack converter?  Also, if I want to use a standard condenser
microphone, I'd need a way of providing phantom power.

Samuel if you have a mic jack on your computer you probablydon't
need a preamp.

Hello everyone,
I am thinking of trying a Shure SM58 with a minijack adapter for
recording myself and my screen reader at the same time. However, I
was wondering, is there a preamp that will connect to the
microphone jack on my computer?  I'm concerned about using a USB
one, because if the latency is too noticeable, it will be
incredibly distracting.  Thank you in advance.
