Essential Info
CasaTunes XLi provides the computer software and hardware to create a premium whole home audio solution in homes with multiple audio receiver components and internet access. The package includes a PCI-e audio card for the main PC which is used as a server for the audio distribution. The card acts as a matrix with capability to output stored music (i.e. .mp3, .m4p, .midi and .wav) to six different zones using the built in audio outputs. The included audio cables can be wired to any audio receivers with an available audio input. The software gives users in different rooms (zones) the ability to access up to five different audio sources from the server at the same time or have the same music playing on all zones simultaneously. The PC server can control every zone or each zone can have independent control via a PC or device with internet access. The PCI-e card features an audio input that can also be accessed from each zone, which is ideal for an am/fm tuner, XM or Sirius satellite radio, iPod or other mp3 player. Additionally, there is an infrared (IR) input available on the PCI-e card for integrating a remote control. This incredible multi-room music system integrates an advanced music server into your computer and enables multiple users to access your PC based music collection, iPod, iTunes, internet radio, or various external music sources throughout the rooms in your home.
Please Note: A multi-channel amplifier and speakers are required for installation. For access within a zone, you will need a computer or a device with web access to control your music.
