Russound is offering two new additions to its expandable XStream Series streaming audio solutions, engineered specifically for custom professionals and their clients.
The new models, all of which are part of Russound’s advanced XStream Series, are the XSource Streaming Audio Player and the XZone4 Four-Stream, Four-Zone Audio System. The XSource is available now and the XZone4 will ship in March.
The XSource Streaming Audio Player is a multi-use streaming media solution with a tiny form factor for easy integration with external amplifiers or whole-house receivers. Designed for scalability, the XSource offers native support for high resolution audio, and the full complement of sources available in all of Russound’s XStream series of products.
The XSource is a streaming source that can be integrated with Russound MCA-Series and C-Series controllers, or can operate as a stand-alone streaming source that can be used with any amplifier or multiroom audio system. It offers both analog and digital outputs as well as built-in Ethernet connectivity.
As a complete streaming media solution for both residential and commercial applications, the XZone4 Four-Stream, Four-Zone Audio System is designed to offer Russound installers a single-box package that is easy to install with simple browser-based configuration, with any smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
Like all components in the XStream series, the XSource and XZone work with the MyRussound App for iOS/Android phones and tablets, and the XTS touchscreen interface.
The two new SKU’s are included in the Russound Certified Installer (RCI) Program. These “RCI Required” items boast a recently introduced feature designed to drastically reduce unauthorized online sales of the company’s products while ensuring that consumers receive the benefits of working with certified installation professionals. To date, nearly 5,000 Russound installers worldwide are taking part in the program.
