JBL products can hardly be confused with devices of other manufacturers, even their appearance is very different – discreet, but memorable design will fit perfectly into the interior of a modern technological home. OnBeat Xtreme™ comes in classic white or black. Constructed of sleek plastic with chrome metal inlays and with X-shaped speakers protected by perforated grilles, it looks truly spectacular.
Rich, powerful sound with amazing clarity – the JBL OnBeat Xtreme™ features two 15W Atlas bass drivers and two 30W Ridge tweeters – both based on JBL patented technology.
Playable frequency range from 47Hz to 22kHz. The system sounds very harmoniously: midrange and treble are reproduced as naturally as possible, and quality bass gives the sound depth and scale.
And the stunning sound of JBL OnBeat Xtreme™ is further enhanced by a full-featured equalizer. The system features five modes: Music, Films, Chat, Radio and Games, with the sound settings for each mode creating a distinctive sound picture.
For example, in Movies mode the bass level is increased, so the sound special effects become the most realistic and impressive, even more bass level is increased in Games mode, now you can hear even the secondary sounds – rustles, whispers, and shots become really deafening. When you’re in Chat mode, by contrast, the bass is dampened so you can hear the other person’s voice more clearly.
JBL engineers paid attention not only to sound quality and a striking design, but also to user comfort. Thanks to the improved Bluetooth-module you are not limited to one room, the signal easily overcomes various obstacles, whether it is walls or closed doors. Now you can listen to music, watch photos and movies anywhere in the apartment, at home or even outdoors without getting tangled in wires or having to look for the correct cables to connect the various devices.
The system can be operated using both the buttons on the body and using the usa remote control that comes with the system. The small, velvety-smooth plastic design makes it easy to change tracks or adjust volume, even when you’re in another room, as it’s equipped with a radio transmitter.
The most unique feature that makes working with the docking station a lot easier is the swiveling mechanism of the cradle. The device can be set both vertically and in landscape orientation, which will be especially helpful when watching photos or movies.
Gadgets of any size can be easily docked thanks to the sliding design, which adapts to their size. OnBeat Xtreme™ has a built-in microphone on the front, so it will be convenient to answer phone calls or video chat.
When you put your iOS devices on the OnBeat Xtreme™, it charges them and also syncs your iPhone, iPad or iPod with your iTunes library. The JBL OnBeat app is also available for free on the App Store for the easiest access to music and equalizer settings.
The docking station itself charges through the USB port that comes with. The JBL OnBeat Xtreme™ also features a composite video output that allows you to connect the docking station to your TV for viewing photos and videos from your iPod, iPhone or iPad.
