Sony has just announced the release of the S-Airplay, a new wireless multi-room sound system for your iPod. The S-Airplay transmits wireless audio from a base station and can support up to 10 receiver/speakers placed in different rooms all over the house.
Equipped with an AM/FM tuner, one of the interesting features of the new system from Sony is the dual source capability that allows users to listen to music coming from the iPod in one room, while people in another room listen to a radio station coming from the S-Airplay’s tuner at the same time.
Andrew Sivori, the director of marketing at Sony, explains that the S-Airplay allows you to take full advantage of the iPod without having to bring it around from room to room. In addition, I’d say that the S-Airplay makes it a lot easier and much more user-friendly for you to access your library of music.
The S-Air speakers include a remote control capability that controls the iPod and allows navigation of its music tracks. The speakers also incorporate a sleep timer and an alarm clock function. Finally, a composite A/V output allows the S-Airplay to easily connect to your home theatre system.
Like most iPod stations, the S-Airplay will charge your iPod while it is docked.
