Imagine
having your entire music collection - and live radio - all around your
house. And what about if you could listen to something different in each
room, completely independantly to the other rooms, or maybe synchronise
some rooms together but only those you want to. Well, with the Slim Devices
Squeezebox, this is exactly what you can do.
Lie in the
bath listening to Mozart while the kids have Mcfly in their bedroom, and
Coldplay is playing downstairs in both the lounge and the kitchen. This
really is a breeze with the Squeezebox. Just buy one Squeezebox for each
location, connect it to some speakers with an amp and you're done. And
if you go for the wireless version you don't even need to run cables around
your house.
You put your
music collection onto your PC or Mac, install the Slim Server software
which is a free download from the Slim Devices website, and make sure
the Squeezeboxes are connected either by network cable or a wireless access
point or router.
And if you
are on broadband you can listen to thousands of internet radio stations
too - even the BBC broadcasts when you add a free plugin.
Each Squeezebox
has it's own remote control and superb display so you don't need to access
your PC at all. But if you do want to then you can control all the units
from your web browser. Choose which Squeezebox you want to control and
voila, start playing your choice of music on that unit without even going
to where it is. This really is the best way of playing your music collection
in luxury.
And if you
don't like the idea of leaving your PC or Mac on 24/7 then you can go
for a Qnap box which is Slim Server and massive hard disk in one silent
unit.
Enjoy
superior sound quality—Squeezebox features a high fidelity
24-bit Burr-Brown™ DAC, legendary in the audiophile community for
their clean output and ultra-low distortion characteristics. Digital optical,
coax, and analog connectors can plug into any home theater, stereo or

up to three times further from your wireless access point. Also, Squeezebox
can serve as a wireless bridge, allowing other network-ready devices to
connect through its ethernet port.
