CI 580 V2

BluOS network music player

MULTIROOM CONTROL IN PERFECTION

The CI 580 V2 enables four stereo zones to be driven in a very flat housing to offer professional installers the most flexible and cost-effective BluOS™ package. Several CI 580 V2 can also be combined to provide sound for any number of listening zones - and each zone can be perfectly synchronized with the BluOS™ Controller app or supplied with separate streams. The device also supports Apple AirPlay 2.

BluOS - Multiroom streaming in HD quality

BluOS™ is an innovative, wireless system that allows music to be streamed throughout the house. The associated user interface is one of the few solutions worldwide to stream uncompressed high-resolution 24-bit / 192 kHz music data to the players integrated in the network. BluOS™ only uses the local network for the transmission of music and organization of the platform - and is controlled with the BluOS™ app available for smartphones and tablets or a Windows or Mac computer. Since BluOS™ is multi-room capable, up to 64 zones can be integrated and controlled either synchronously with an audio stream or individually with different programs at different volumes. Bluesound understands numerous file formats from MP3 to MQA Studio Master quality. Whether streaming music services, your own music library on a hard drive or Internet radio - with BluOS™ you always have access to your favorite music throughout the network.

Apple AirPlay 2

The CI 580 V2 can be integrated into an Apple network via AirPlay 2 and then selected directly as the playback device for your music stream via your Mac, iPhone or iPad. And if you have activated the Siri voice control on your Apple device, all you have to do is say "Hey Siri, play the current Paul McCartney album" or "Hey Siri, play NDR 2" and your NAD system will start playback immediately.

MQA - Studio master quality music

MQA is not a new file format, but an innovative way of packaging large music files with complex coding, efficient compression technology and a digital signature in such a way that even original studio master recordings in 24-bit/192 kHz format can be stored in comparatively small data packages packaged and made available online. For this purpose, the music data is packaged in any container such as ALAC, FLAC or WAV. When playing back via a decoder integrated in BluOS™, the player completely unpacks the file and returns it to its original format, the studio master file, without any loss.
