Outcast model: ICO410
UAT Transmitter model: UAT-250US
This is V1.2 of the original, full-sized model. It's a 26" high, 25 lb beast with an 8" woofer. Not the later wimpy, undersized models.
The Soundcast Outcast is a rechargeable, outdoor wireless speaker with four omnidirectional drivers for stereo sound, and the 8" subwoofer. It provides excellent full-bodied sound outdoors. Not washed out by using it in open air. It's also suitable in large indoor spaces like gymnasiums or large rooms. Not recommended in medium or small rooms unless you retune it for a small indoor space via external EQ.
In very good condition. Has some minor scratches and rub marks. Also a couple of small dings on the back side. The hinge of AC socket's protective rubber cover failed, but the cover still stays in place securely.
The battery is in excellent condition, and the Outcast plays music for many hours. I tested and timed it before listing it for sale, and am getting about 10 hours of continuous playing time on a full charge. Of course, this will vary per volume, illumination setting, temperature, etc.
If you ever need to replace the battery, it's easy to do. Just undo one screw to open the cover on the bottom, and swap the battery with an "Outcast ICO410 battery" from Amazon.com (~$40).
By the way, the Outcast can play music when plugged in and charging. So in a fix, you can plug it in and keep enjoying the music, in case the battery runs out of juice during an event.
The UAT Transmitter is self-powered from a computer USB audio source. Or if you use the RCA audio jack inputs, use the USB cable and power adapter to power the UAT. Pairing it with a music streamer is a great way to go. I used a Wavsera WStream Roon end-point, but there are countless other alternatives, like the iFi Zen Stream, WiiM Pro, WiiM Pro Plus, etc.
I've tested the transmitter at distances up to 75 feet, without a direct line of sight, and it worked great!
I'm reluctantly selling this rig, as it works superbly, is easy to use, starts up quickly, and is quite excellent for outdoor music. And it would be very difficult to find another one with the UAT transmitter. However, I'm not using it right now and am trying to reduce the size of my audio hoard.
