DMS-3.1 Enables Listening To Four Simultaneous Audio Signals from Internet, Storage Devices or Built-In AM/FM Tuner

Multiroom audio stalwart Russound, has announced a versatile new addition to its C-Series line of multiroom audio products that provides audio streams from networked-based digital music sources for any room in a home.

A fourth simultaneous signal is available from the DMS-3.1's built-in AM/FM stereo tuner.

"Said Steve Feinstein, Director of Marketing and Product Development: "Installers and end users alike are always looking for a way to eliminate those unsightly long runs of RCA cables. Now they have a quality solution. The WA-50 also has applications for rear surround channels, remote Zones, and outdoor speakers."

According to the manufacturer, the Wireless 3D Media Kit broadcasts with almost no latency and no interference from nearby wireless routers. Content can be streamed to a total of four wireless 3D receivers, simplifying the process of setting up multi-room or multi-display environments with additional freedom to install displays in non-traditional locations without worrying about line-of sight placement.
