Finally bought an A3

40 replies

i couldn't resist it. The local dealer has a sale and three years late I bought an A3. A quarter of what we were tempted to buy it for three(?) years ago. Very pleased with it after understanding the need to dock correctly.

I did the same a month or so ago, found one on sale, NIB, on eBay for $115. Love it, amazingly useful little device, sounds great for the size.

Here is mine - playing an old Fairport Convention album.

The A3 is a must for all owners of an old spare iPad - imo.

N.B the small round thingy is a bluetooth remote - quite handy 😐

I wish they'd have updated it. Apparently it started out life as a design for a small tv!
Does the A3 have an audio out? Or purely for the in built speakers?

No out connections. Tremendous product effectively turning your old iPad into a TV or higher quality audio player.

Drawbacks: must be placed on a very level surface where it can't be accidentally knocked over, and also the gasket tends to expand with age so eventually getting the iPad back into the A3 (if you remove it) can be a bit of a gasket-squeezing struggle.

I used it with Sky go ( Chris) it then gives you a great small tv for the kitchen.

There are a couple of 3rd party stand solutions for the A3.

the problem however, is to find a dealer for rhese, since you can't buy these direct

I've sent an email to Bosscom to check if they might be willing to sell directly (I anticipate no retailer anywhere near Croatia hahaha...)

Anyway, I like the A3 and thought perhaps of mounting it on bathroom wall for music/video while showering.

p.s. I do agree with others who suggested you don't remove the iPad too often as it becomes a bit of a pain to get it back in properly.

I did a search of Bosscom as I recalled issues http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/10434/90981.aspx
