Sony Drops S-Airplay Wireless iPod Streaming System
If you’re in the market for a wireless home music streaming system but, are unable to knock of the bank needed to afford the pricey - but great - Sonos system, then Sony may have something of interest. This is the S-Airplay Wireless iPod Dock, comprising a central station where you plug in your iPod dock and then stream music around the home to separate S-Air wireless speakers that you plug into a spare socket. The streaming range is a claimed 164-ft, so good enough for most domiciles. If you have a mansion, then you’ll be able to afford the Sonos anyway. Sony is making a lot of the fact that it’s a snap to set-up so anyone can be streaming their favourite tunes from the living room to the bog in no time. “This technology makes it easy to listen to music from a compatible iPod without carrying it from room to room,” said Andrew Sivori, director of marketing in the personal audio group at Sony Electronics’ Digital Imaging and Audio Division. “It’s an easy, inexpensive way to get multi-room audio without professional installation.” The S-Airplay central unit comes with an AM/FM tuner, and the dual source feature allows you to listen to System Of A Down in your room while gran can get knitting to her fix of The Archers radio show in the kitchen. The system comes with the central unit and 2 S-Air speakers but it is capable of transmitting to up to 10 speakers. It is priced at around £200 - in the US first - with additional speakers priced at a cheeky £65 each.-Martin Lynch music home streaming
