SoundPOD

[DISCONTINUED]  The wearable SoundPOD wirelessly connects to an iPod or iPad providing a speaker system designed especially for AAC.  It can be worn around the neck on a break-away lanyard, or on the strap of a carry bag, or magnetically attached to iPod or iPad. Designed for AAC device users there are no clips or attachments and control buttons are large and cearly labelled.

[DISCONTINUED]  The SoundPOD, by FRS Solutions, is a wearable AAC speaker system that can wirelessly connect to an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch via Bluetooth. 

The SoundPOD was engineered from the ground up to meet the assistive needs of an AAC device user with no clips, attachments, or buttons that require fine motor skills.

Portability

The speaker attaches to the strap of the iPad carry case to provide voice output from a natural position. Alternatively it can be worn on a breakaway neck lanyard that uses a single handed quick-release.  It can be positioned on the shoulder straps of a chest harness or bag. When removed from the lanyard the SoundPOD can magnetically attach to the iPod (with magnetic cradle)  to create an all-in-one solution.

How it works

First it will be necessary to charge the internal batteries of the SoundPOD.  The SoundPOD™ wireless speaker comes complete with an independent high capacity Lithium Ion battery. This means that there isn't any additional loading on the iPad's battery due to the SoundPOD™ so you can expect the same great runtimes as with the iPad.  An LED on the front panel indicates the battery and charging status.

Like all Bluetooth devices, the SoundPOD must be paired with the iPad or the main device being used, to wirelessly "talk" to the i-device.
Instructions are provided for this process.  This only needs to be performed once unless you select "forget this device."

Once "paired" with the i-device, open the App or your music, start it up and the sound will immediately project from the SoundPOD.  Volume can be adjusted on the SoundPOD using the + and - buttons on the front panel.
