Simple.......2007-07-06

This was a great find, since I owned a older style SAT receiver. Just plug in, hook-up, and enjoy your SAT stations through your home system. No expensive add-ons!

Getting Sirius at home.......2005-12-06

While it might be a "plain Jane" in the looks department, the AudioVox SIR-HK1 home dock for the SIR-PNP2 Sirius receiver has rarely disappointed me. It holds my receiver in place quite securely, but not too much so; I've yet to have the need to summon all my strength to separate the receiver unit from the dock. Its wide base makes it very stable, and the no-slip rubber "feet" are quite effective in keeping the whole kit and kaboodle from sliding around. Both of these features have been an asset to me; my own home dock sits on a non-level surface, and I've yet to have the thing slid off or tip over.

The sound I get out of the dock via the headphones/speaker jack through the junky computer speakers I've hooked it into is surprisingly clear and sharp... granted the satellite signal is coming in properly. I can hardly wait to hear what the sound's gonna be like when I hook this up to GOOD speakers!

Speaking of satellite signals: the antenna is the only real drawback to this package. It'll pick up the signal no sweat for long stretches at a time... but every once in a while it'll get persnickety, grabbin' the satellite beam only intermittently. That's when I'll spend fifteen minutes trying to move the thing around the room and adjusting it so it'll pick up the signal more consistently. Sadly, my efforts usually are for naught, and I'll just give up and turn the radio off until the antenna feels like "behaving" itself again. Its worst bouts of "misbehavior" usually occur in rainy weather; soon as it starts pouring, I may as well forget about listening to the danged thing. Of course, I have considered the possibility that the intermittent signal pickup could be due to the antenna's placement; the windowsill I place it on doesn't have a totally clear "line-of-sight" in the general direction I'm supposed to aim it towards. Fortunately, I've been spending a lot more time listening to my Sirius radio in the car than at home; the antenna that came with my car dock is a lot more consistent when it comes to picking up the satellite beam. Also, I've found a few bargains on some large outdoor antennas that I'll likely be taking advantage of in the near future.

Bottom line: While not particularly attractive looking, the AudioVox SIR-HK1 home dock is a secure and stable nesting place for your SIR-PNP1 or SIR-PNP2 Sirius receiver, and channels surprisingly clear sound. All you need is to find the right place for the antenna to pick up a consistent satellite signal, and you're good to go.

Another great Sirius product........2004-12-04

There isn't terribly much to write about a docking station. The real deal is the receiver and the service itself. First off the receiver is great! I love the bright big orange screen, and that I can save 20 songs and it will alert me when those songs are being played. The buttons are easy to push, and this PNP is very durable.
The service is truly amazing, over 60 commercial free music channels along with sports, talk, news, and entertainment!
I enjoy listening to NFL teams that I could not normally listen to since I live hundreds of miles away. A number of college teams are also on Sirius, and NHL games.
I would reccomend you find out more by surfing Amazon, going to Sirius.com or siriusbackstage.com

Shouldn't be your first option to listen to your PNP.......2004-08-29

Although my PNP came with this, I would have much preferred the boombox now that I've lived with it for a week.

All in all, there really isn't anything that stands out as being completely wrong with this setup. However, there are some minor flaws that just add up.

First, the audio cable is too short. Second, the power cable is too short. Third, the antenna cord is too long! Why have 2 short cables that will force you to keep the radio close to your receiver, when the other cable isn't long enough to make up for the other two?

I understand it might be my setup, but why not be safe and just make every cable 10 to 20 feet?

The antenna sits on top of my entertainment center and I continually get 2 to 3 bars signal strength which is just perfect since I can't run the cable outside.

As I said before, I'm glad this was included in my purchase and I didn't pay for it seperately.

Heed my advice and get the portability of the boombox rather than this limiting package.

electrical connection only works sometimes.......2006-07-25

Now I have to buy a whole new kit because I don't want to deal with Audiovox to get this one fixed and I don't want to have to buy a whole new receiver and kit for the car. Oh well. They're going to get another 50 of my dollars. Sirius does rock, though.

Sirius Home Kit.......2006-07-11

Works great! We were tired of switching the dock from inside the house to the patio everytime we wanted to spend time outside. Now we have music wherever we go!

Radio & Kit: Great, FM Strength: Not so great.......2006-04-16

I got my HK3 Home Kit for PNP3 a week or two ago and it was easier setting it up than it was in the car. I have my antenna sitting on my front yard (I cut a small hole in the bug screen in the window) and I plugged the RF cable in the front of the TV. In between, my satellite radio. Unfortunately if I want to go upstairs and want to listen to this, I get good signal from the radio if I hold my clock radio broadcasting from the satellite radio, but if I put it down or walk away from it, it just goes to static. I really hope that Audiovox makes a PNP4 with a better FM strength.

great seller.......2006-03-26

this is a great radio, the only downside is there is no fm, other than that its great

Awesome product!.......2006-03-15

This helps my Sirius addiction in that I get to carry my receiver to my home stereo and listen there instead of just in the boombox (which is more cumbersome to transport than you may think).

I love it.

Product Description

The pick-up pattern of the built-in microphone on camcorders is omni-directional, meaning that it picks up all sounds, in every direction equally, no matter which direction you point the camcorder. The ECZ-990 is a 6" long, directional, or "zoom" microphone with a super-cardioid pattern (ellipse shaped). It will pick up your subject's sound more clearly, reducing side noises. With 2 positions, narrow and wider, the ECZ-990 has a range of 35 feet, uses 1 "AAA" battery, and comes with a windscreen, shoe mount, and velcro.

I should have listened to the review.......2007-03-24

I read a good review about this mic in a Japanese magazine called Video Salon. I have a Sony HDR-FX1. the shoe is placed way above and to the edge of the camera so I didn't worry about camera sound getting picket up by the mic. The mic that comes with the camera never picks up zoom sound or hand movement on the camera. The ECZ-990 barely picks up the target sound. And the sound it does pick up is tinny. It DOES however pick up every little sound of the camera. You get a huge buzz when using auto zoom. And every little movement of your fingers against the camera body is picked up as a booming sound.
The only use i can see for this mic is to get an extension cord and let someone hold the mic up to the target sound source. Strangely enough, the mic didn't pick up too much sound from the hand holding it.
The price is low but I honestly feel like I threw away my money. Lesson learned: Only buy a mic you have personally tested yourself.

Decent performance, but too much extra noise.......2005-05-16

the mic is certainly better than the 'record absolutely everything' mic on the top of my Canon GL2, but there is still a lot of noise 'in the line' and the camera picks up the camera's motor noise even better than the onboard mic (didn't know that was possible). that being said, the audio you get is miles better, especially for recording interviews. It's small, unobtrusive and has two settings (wide and long) and is mostly good at targeting a subject in front of you.

the biggest problem seems to be with the mount, which is cheap and really helps the mic pick up the buzz, hum and other undesirable noise directly through the body of the mic. I tried using rubber bands to isolate it, but then I just returned the mic, not worth the grief if I have to 'MacGyver' it right out of the box. I'm going to get a proper a mic mount, and keep looking.

bottom line - if you have terrible noise from your onboard camcorder, this is a good deal. Sure, you can spend $1000 for a better Shure or Sennheiser, but if you just want some above average targeted audio, this can't be beat for the price.
