The JBL On Stage Micro portable docking sound system is the perfect travel partner for your iPod. Imagine the convenience of taking the JBL On Stage Micro system on the road or enjoying the sound anywhere you happen to be. Connected to your iPod, MP3 player, computer, or other music source, it produces clean, powerful sound. It charges your iPod and also provides a USB pass-through to connect to your computer. With the JBL On Stage Micro system's IR remote control, you have all the power with your digital music experience.  Enjoy your iPod, view photos or videos, and listen to virtually any other auxiliary audio component, all through the JBL On Stage Micro system. |  Provides a rich, complete soundstage over a range of listening positions. |  Navigate your music, watch your slideshows, and find and play your videos. | | Which Dock Is for You?
JBL's been in the iPod dock business for awhile, so it's no surprise that the company has crafted enough models to keep up with an ever-increasing army of iPod owners. Which one is right for you? Well, that depends what kind of pod person you are: For the Power Hungry
For those who seek more volume, the On Stage 400ID should be your first stop. At 2x15 Watts, it's the loudest and largest of the bunch, and features an Atlas woofer for added bass. But size isn't everything--the On Stage Micro boasts the same wattage rating without the woofer. For the Weekend Warriors
Those who need a dock that they can take anywhere should investigate docks that can be powered by batteries. The On Stage Micro runs on four AAAs, whereas the On Stage IIIP and On Stage III run on six. Take your music to the beach, on camping trips--wherever you can't bear to be without it. For the iPhone Techies
The iPhone owner--if you can stand to put the thing down--has a couple choices. The On Stage IIIP provides a smaller and more portable option, or the On Stage 200ID gives a bit more power. These two docks support all docking iPod models as well. For the Featurephiles or Heavy Sleepers
Some of us just aren't content with basic functionality; we need more buttons, more lights. Others just need a little nudge to wake up in the morning. If this is you, then the On Time 200ID and 400IHD are for you. Both feature an alarm clock and AM/FM radio, with the ability to wake up to your favorite song stored on your iPod (and then reject it with the snooze button). Of course, for the masochists, a classic buzzer is also available. The On Time 400IHD adds a dual alarm clock and HD radio to the mix, for a crystal-clear signal and a variety of text-based information (artist name, song title, weather alerts, school closings, etc.) scrolled across your screen. Something for Everyone
All of these models feature a remote control for full iPod navigation, Evercharge topology to charge iPod even when not connected to a PC or the system is turned off, a mini-jack for auxiliary devices, and the sleek design and solid performance you'd expect from JBL. | Compatibility
The JBL On Stage Micro system is compatible with all docking versions of the iPod, including the nano, photo, and video iPod. A stereo mini jack connection also allows you to enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of other devices, such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), satellite radio, and laptops. Specific dockable iPod compatibility: iPod mini 1G; iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G; iPod touch. Easy-to-Use Music and Navigation Controls
Just a touch of the music controls increases or decreases the volume. Using the navigation controls, you can browse iPod songs, photos, and playlists; change tracks and settings; and much more. With the JBL On Stage Micro IR remote, you have complete control of your iPod, as if it were in your hand. Connection Versatility
The JBL On Stage Micro loudspeaker dock is a multimedia focal point. Enjoy your iPod, view photos or videos, and listen to virtually any other auxiliary audio component, all through the JBL On Stage Micro system. Connect the USB cable to your computer for full iPod and iTunes compatibility. Additional Features
- IR remote--The JBL On Stage Micro IR remote has several modes of operation. The Music mode allows you to control the volume, change tracks, fast forward, and fast reverse. The iPod Navigation mode allows you to navigate the iPod menus just as if you were touching the iPod itself. You can navigate your music, watch your slideshows, and find and play your videos.
- OnePoint design--The OnePoint iPod connectors provide the connection to your computer. Connect the USB cable to the rear of the unit; then, every time you dock your iPod, you will have a connection for synchronizing and charging.
- Evercharge topology--The JBL On Stage Micro system provides power to charge your iPod, even when not connected to the computer or if the system is off.
Advanced Technology
The JBL On Stage Micro loudspeaker dock combines many proprietary technologies to provide the highest quality sound, astonishing bass, and clear and accurate sound from any direction. - Odyssey transducers--The Odyssey drivers provide accurate high frequencies while capable of low-frequency extension of four octaves, unlike traditional powered tweeters. This design provides a full, rich frequency response from low bass to the highest highs.
- Slipstream port design--The JBL On Stage Micro port minimizes boundary layer separation, providing high-output bass with low distortion.
- COE (Computer-Optimized Equalization)--The JBL On Stage Micro system equalization is computer-optimized to provide a rich, complete soundstage over a range of listening positions.
- OCT (Optimized Compression Topology)--The system utilizes a proprietary compression technology to ensure clean, accurate sound at high output levels.
- AEMS (Advanced Energy Management System)--The JBL On Stage Micro system has an automatic battery-saving shutoff. The AEMS will automatically put the system into sleep mode when there is no audio input. The system awakens with just a touch and resumes at the same volume level.
- Battery-powered--The JBL On Stage Micro loudspeaker dock is designed to use most types of AAA batteries. Four fresh AAA batteries allow up to 24 hours of continuous play at normal listening levels. An amber LED flashes when the battery protection circuit senses that the batteries are low. JBL encourages the use of rechargeable reduce waste and help the environment.

 Works well, but it's fragile October 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We bought our JBL on stage micro to play an iPod Touch at home, in the car, and on vacation. It worked well. We liked the versatility and the mobility of the product. Also found that the sound quality is improved by placing it on a hard surface rather than a pad, carpet, sand dune, or towel. Dashboards, desks, tabletops, rocks, etc. seem to make a better platform for the dock.
Okay, here are the few problems.
1. it's broken. The entire weight of the iPod is supported by the electronic connection to the iPod. It slipped off it's perch and the electronic connection was twisted and broken. I suppose I could plug it in with a cord in the rear jack. This, and all such units, should include some mechanical support to the iPod to protect both the iPod and the dock. We were panicked that the fall broke the iPod rather than the dock.
2. No volume control from iPod. All volume control is on the unit. Not a huge problem but it would be nice to have the ability to control volume from the iPod.
 NOT the same color! October 25, 2008

If you want to buy this for the red Ipod Nano, don't! The color of the speakers is burgundy and clashes with the red ipod. Not even close! The picture makes it look like the same color. It is anything but! We are sending it back.

I just bought this dock and am listening to it now. It is well worth $100 with great sound, portibility and the fact it runs on batteries. I have a fairly discriminating ear and the sound is top notch for a very small system. I am using it on the porch of a cottage and the sound fills the room. I am wondering if my neighbors are getting annoyed at the volume. Definitely recommended!
Compact, Stylish, Great Sound October 13, 2008
The red color is more like a dark magenta, which I liked even more.
The speaker supplies adapter pieces to dock your nano or shuffle. I have the nano (2G) and tried to dock it using the nano adapter but, the adapter is too narrow so it's useless. Docking the nano without it works fine. It would be nice to use the adapter though because the connector on the nano is off-centered, so when docking, it can get lopsided if not plugged in firmly.
The base has a compartment to put batteries in. I haven't put batteries in yet, but the lid, which has a twist and lock function, is not well built. The slightest turn will open it.
I don't have a charger, so it's great to charge without hooking up to my laptop.
The sound is great. I love it. I play it when I work out from home or cook, and it's great for parties (you can ask friends to bring their ipods to mix playlists).
