  • Digital Music Manager
  • Source: ebuild 10/5/2009
  • With the ability to stream live music from a laptop, USB/MP3 players, Internet radio, shared music files, and music stored within the system itself, the Digital Music Manager aggregates and formats all audio sources for the homeowner. The system allows for dual use of up to four audio streams, allowing, for example, Internet to be playing in one room and an iPod in another. The Digital Music Manager, which has 500 gigabytes of storage, integrates with the company's InFusion Media Platform, Axium multi-room amplifier, and touchscreen interfaces. More
  • Multiroom Audio
  • Source: ebuild 10/5/2009
  • Touted as multiroom audio made easy, adding a second room to an A-BUS/ready system requires only a single CAT5 cable wired directly to the speaker location. The new design eliminates running speaker cable to the active speaker, helps retain audio quality, and removes unattractive volume controls from the wall, the maker says. For multi-room audio, users can choose from expansion hubs to suit individual requirements. Sold in pairs, the 61/2-inch A-BUS/direct speakers feature an integral volume control, and the speaker kit includes a new programmable remote control that can be mounted to a desk, wall, or magnetic metal surface. 801-652-3111.
