It wasn't too long ago that to get a decent whole-house audio amplifier, you were looking at spending up to $2,000. Those days are history thanks to the Simplese Dual-Source, Four-Zone Audio Distribution system, NuVo's most affordable and simple home sound system yet. By combining simplicity with user-friendly design, the Simplese makes advanced home audio more obtainable than ever before. Now your whole family can experience startlingly clean, pure sound from two distinct sound sources throughout the house at a price comparable to many single-source systems.
Two Audio Sources to Four Zones Throughout the HomeSimplese gives you the flexibility to choose from two sound sources, like satellite audio and the CD jukebox. Or you can choose from two different radio stations his and hers. And with Simplese, you can experience sound in four different listening zones (30 watts per zone) enough to cover the major living spaces of most homes. That means you can be listening to a CD in the kitchen while your family tunes into the big game on AM radio in the living room. No single-source sound system gives you so many options!
Built-In Infrared EngineThe system's built-in infrared engine allows you to control source equipment from other rooms. It's perfect for skipping the CD on the multi-disc jukebox or changing the satellite TV music channel ... without actually having to be physically in front of the original equipment. Each of the four volume-control keypads that come with the system have an IR sensor cleverly concealed behind the translucent rubber volume button that can pick up signals from any remote control (i.e. the CD player remote, the satellite TV remote, or the included RC1 remote) and route them to the two included IR emitters that attach to the source device. You can also expand the number of emitters with optional Single IR Emitters (#8270IR, sold separately), which are attached to the end of a 10-ft. cord for installation flexibility.
Customize Sound for Every RoomWhether you thrill to a pulse-pounding bass or soul-soaring highs, the unique equalization feature on NuVo keypads allows you to adjust the sound system to optimize the natural acoustics of each individual room.
Integrate Your Keypads for Simplified UseIf you like, the NuVo system keypads can be grouped. This enables open living spaces (such as the living room, dining room and kitchen) to share a listening choice, while still permitting individual volume control. Not only that, but the special "All Off" feature allows you to shut down your NuVo system with the press of a single button.
Hand Control in the Palm of Your HandNuVo Simplese comes standard with the NuVo RC1 Remote, giving you complete control of your NuVo system, all in one simple control.
Kit Available With SpeakersBuy a
kit consisting of the Simplese system along with four pair of
6.5" In-Ceiling NuVo Speakers (also available separately), and you'll have everything you need to set up your whole-house audio system.
Simple, Seamless IntegrationThe revolutionary EZ-Port neatly conceals the individual connections for each listening zone in the wall. A single wire connection from the EZ-Port to the back of the Simplese amplifier cleanly and seamlessly integrates the entire system. Add a dual tuner (sold separately) to your audio distribution system, and you'll have a complete
dual AM/FM/Weather tuner, an
AM/FM/Weather and XM Satellite radio tuner, or a
dual XM satellite radio tuner along with an auxiliary source distribution throughout your home. You can even control up to three of these tuners from any room in the house using a
Remote Control for NuVo Tuners (sold separately). These IR remotes send signals through the integrated IR receivers in the connected keypads.
