The LG XBOOM CJ44 is a one box music system built for playing loud. The amplifier puts out 240W to each front speaker, and each cabinet is a 2 way design with a 6.5 inch woofer and a 1.57 inch tweeter. Music can come from Bluetooth, a USB stick, a CD or FM radio.

Key Features

Turns any room into a karaoke room. A 6.3mm microphone jack, mic volume on the main set, echo on the remote, key changer and voice canceller let you drop the lead vocal and sing over the track.
Music from a phone with no cables. Bluetooth with multi pairing, so two phones can stay connected and take turns choosing songs. The unit can also switch to Bluetooth and wake from standby when a phone connects.
Copy songs between two USB sticks. Two front USB ports with USB direct recording, plus USB 1 to USB 2 recording, so a guest’s playlist can be saved to your own stick.
Sound tuned for what you are playing. Presets include Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classic, Bass Blast and Football, along with Afro Hip-hop, Arabic, Salsa and Samba settings.
Lighting that plays along with the music. Multi colour lighting rings the woofer, as shown in the photos.
Old discs and radio still work. A single CD tray plays Audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 or WMA discs, and the PLL tuner holds 50 FM stations across 87.5 to 108.0 MHz.
Link up for a bigger party. Wireless Party Link joins compatible units together, and TV Sound Sync sends sound from an LG TV to the system.

The MA2 remote is included and runs on two AAA batteries. There is an AUX input at the rear and a portable in socket at the front. Power draw is 80W in use and under 0.5W on standby.
