Enjoy different songs in different rooms at the same time – or the same one everywhere in Party Mode. This is designed to let you stream, play and control your digital music via your home wireless network.

However you listen, you can configure a Wireless Home Audio setup perfectly suited to your space, tastes, and existing equipment.
