Let Your Music Play Outside

Having lived in Maryland for my entire life, I understand that it is possible to experience the 4 seasons over the period of 4 days: Snow on Friday and 80 degrees & sunny on Monday.  If you're not from the area, you may be surprised by this fact, but trust me: it's possible.

The good news is that it looks like we may be heading into a very spring-like weekend, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees.  Which means it's going to be the perfect time to head outside...with your music.  But don't limit the experience to your headphones: share it with your friends & family on a pair of outdoor speakers.  

When you add the Sonos ZonePlayer 90 to your system, along with a pair of Sonance outdoor speakers, you'll have easy access to your entire music collection and be able to play all your music outside.  We can even set it up so that you can choose which music to play from your iPod or smartphone.  Just imagine: you're lounging outside.  The music's on.  Your friends are over.  And all of a sudden, someone makes a song request.  In 5 seconds, you've quickly found the song, and set it to play without having to move!  How simple is that?

Take Your Sonos System To The Next Level

Do you have a Sonos system?  Are you in love with it? (Most people who own a Sonos System do tend to fall madly in love with it.)  Are you wondering how to take your relationship with Sonos to the next level?  You're in luck.  The Nova from Peachtree Audio creates amazing sound for all your music sources including those digital audio files that live on your Sonos, iPod, Computer, or other mp3 player.

Peachtree Audio understands that a tube amplifier adds a warmth and smoothness to your music.  In "audiophile-speak": The tube preamp lends smoothness and warmth to your music's high and mid-range frequencies while solid-state amplification delivers tight punchy bass. This high quality digital-to-analog conversion means smoother and clearer sound for your digital music.

Other features include an onboard headphone amp for enjoying private listening at work or just kicking back to enjoy some late night tunes at home. The stereo preamp outputs let you add an extra amp or a powered subwoofer.

The Nova features an open space in the back of the unit that will fit your Sonos® wireless music ZP90 digital music player, and will use its digital to analog converter (DAC) to convert the digital music stored on the Sonos to smooth and clear analog music signals.

Sonos Introduces a Multi-Room Music Kit

Wireless multiroom music provider Sonos has introduced the Bundle 150 that gets you a  two-room starter kit for $999. It includes everything you need to wirelessly play music in two rooms of your house at the same time: play the same song in perfect synchronicity or play two entirely different songs at the same time. Using the cool, ergonomic wireless controller, you can select songs, browse your music library, internet radio stations or popular online music services and adjust volume from anywhere in the house. It’s a cool little product that makes a huge impact on your musical “quality of life.”
