NAD BlusOS Network Music Player - CI580V2

NAD CI 580 V2 BlusOS Network Music Player

The CI 580 V2 packs 4 stereo zones into a 1U rack space to provide the most flexible and cost-effective BluOS™ package. Multiple CI 580 V2s can be used to provide as many zones as required, and each zone can be grouped together in perfect sync using the BluOS Controller App, or you can play individual streams in different zones simultaneously. The CI 580 V2 is now more flexible than ever with AirPlay 2 built-in for easy integration into the Apple ecosystem.

Key Features

• BluOS™ Music Management
  Unlike other solutions that rely on UPnP, or are simply repackaged PCs, the CI 580 features Bluesound's propritary BlusOS operating system. BluOS supports many popular music services with playback of 24-bit music at sampling rates up to 96kHz. A BluOS Controller App is available for smartphone, tablet and desktop and allows you to access, control and stream music playlists to multiple BluOS-enabled zones in the home using simple touch-screen commands.
  BluOS features a deep integration with several of the top control systems, including Control4, Crestron, RTI and URC, among others. Unlike other network audio solutions, BluOS has a published API that allows a more complete and sustainable integration.
• Lag-free Multi-Zone Streaming
  The CI 580 V2 can be integrated into a BluOS connected home, and deliver blazingfast music streams to any zone you select. By focusing on how to improve musical performance while providing a seamless network music experience, the CI 580 V2 ensures that there are no skips or delays – even when streaming and controlling music from your smartphone or tablet. Analogue and digital inputs are also available to add a cable box and other non-network sources, and make them available and selectable in every zone. The CI 580 V2 also includes a system interrupt feature to allow for doorbells and fire alarms to be heard.
