Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The battery-powered SF120 SoundFeeder wireless audio adapter lets you play your portable CD player, iPod, MP3 player, or minidisc player through your car or home FM radio. Whether your car stereo automatically ejects your cassette-type adapter or you merely like the cord-free convenience of wireless, this is the adapter you've ben waiting for.

Just plug SoundFeeder into your audio device of choice and tune it to any unused FM channel and you'll hear your music playing in stereo, right off the radio. SoundFeeder can also be used indoors with televisions, personal computers, video games, keyboards, or computers. Simply plug SoundFeeder into the line output or headphone jack of the audio equipment and you can transmit high-quality stereo sound from any source (certain devices may require an RCA-to-minijack "Y" adapter or a .25-inch-to-.125-inch headphone adapter). SoundFeeder requires one AA battery (not included).

What's in the Box
SoundFeeder wireless audio adapter, minijack-to-minijack (.125-inch) stereo analog interconnect, a user's manual, and warranty information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair Car Solution for iPod, November 6, 2002

By	jbembe (Dallas, Tx United States) - See all my reviews

I got this FM transmitter after trying the iRoc for several weeks and being unsatisfied with it. First, the range of FM channels is much greater than the iRoc I had (which only gave four presetting channels.) This way you can tune incrementally to find the perfectly clear channel for best reception. While this is very nice, I live in Dallas where radio signals fill the dial and make reception poor to worse. On a long road trip I found that you had to constantly tune the thing as you passed in and out of towns due to radio interference. The best option is for hooking my MP3 player to any cheap radio at work or in various rooms at home so I can immediately have 10gigs of music from my iPod available. This way, in the home or office, you can find the perfect channel and interference doesn't change much so you can get things perfect. For the car, I may be too picky for a FM transmitter and might have to get a better stereo with a direct jack.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS, May 1, 2003

By A Customer

Upon opening the package and reading the instructions... yes I actually read them for a change, I noticed a statement that it may not work in New York or New Jersey due to the number of radio stations in the area... I live in New Jersey and would have liked to have known that prior to destroying the packaging... one of the plastic boxes you must rip apart to open. However, in this case they were far from correct. I just lowered my antenna and put it on one channel that didn't have a station and used it on a drive from central NJ to Rhode Island (right through NYC)... no problems whatsoever. Biggest advantage is that there is no tape noise from the cheap tape player-type thingy's used with portable CD players.
I like it and would purchase another one if needed... as long as the battery don't wear out too quickly. I've only used it for about 6 hours so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars not as expected, July 18, 2003

By A Customer

My new car has a CD player so can't listen my MP3's any more. So wireless tranmitter is the only choice for me. I got this item by looking at the reviews, but I am disappointed. Once you find the channel it keeps drifting in a few minutes. Then you need to tweek a little every few minutes. The tune nub is so sensitive that there is very little range that you catch the signal and few minutes later it is gone. I think I will try irock 300w see if it works. I am definitely returning this item
