OREM, Utah - Sept 1, 2009 - Digital Home Communications (DHC), LLC announced today that it will introduce the new audioShare® 201 wallstation at the CEDIA 2009 show in Atlanta, GA starting Sept. 9th. “We are very excited to launch this new product”, says Dave Rollins, President and CEO. “We have received a lot of requests from our customers to improve the look of our previous audioShare 101 product for use in new construction. I think our customers will like what they see”. Richard Lindsey, CTO, says that a lot of design work went into the new audioShare 201 wallstation - “The approach was to come up with a look that was both stylish as well as smaller. We had many designers working on various iterations of the faceplate design. We settled on a design that was half the size of the previous model and very pleasing to look at. We are very excited about the finished product!”
The audioShare 201 features a new two-tune color scheme and a new volume/menu scroll push button digital encoder making navigation much easier. An improved speaker and amplifier provide better sound quality while the improved CODEC now supports 96 Khz sample rate. The new 201 wallstation also supports up to 3 Stereo Analog and 2 Digital Inputs as well as 1 Stereo Analog and 1 Digital output making connections to home stereo/home theater systems very easy. The 201 is also backwards compatible with its predecessor the 101 allowing both the 101 and new 201 to run on the same system together.
“The most exciting addition is the new 50 Watt Stereo amplifier module that can plug directly onto the back of the 201 wallstation.”, says Richard. The amplifier module allows the audioShare 201 to discretely power a pair of in-wall or in-ceiling speakers directly from the wallstation. Richard goes on to say, “Volume control of both the internal speaker and the in-wall/in-ceiling speakers connected directly to the 201 is computer controlled by the wallstation allowing remote volume control from other wallstations or 3rd Party devices.”
The audoShare 201 is very competitively priced at $399 MSRP ($499 with the 50 Watt Amplifier module) and is available starting Sept. 20, 2009.
