"iPods are great for listening to your favorite music on the go, but many individuals like to listen to their favorite tunes while at home, hands free and without headphones," said Darrel Hauk, CEO and president of Channel Vision Technology. "Our new iBus offers music lovers the option of listening to their iPod tunes throughout their homes, whether entertaining, studying, cleaning the house, or lounging in the backyard."A-BUS is a unique, proven technology for multi-room audio that utilizes a single Category 5 cable to carry signal, data, IR, status and power. A-BUS places the amplifiers closer to the speakers, enabling superior sound quality, increased flexibility, simpler installation and consumer-friendly operation.
The AB-311 iBus for A-BUS Wall Dock distributes iPod tunes through any standard A-BUS multi-room audio system while also charging the unit. With the integrated Omni connector, the iBus wall dock remains unobtrusive when not in use, yet its support ledge slides out easily, ready to dock an iPod at all times. When not in use, its decorator design blends nicely with other household keypads and light switches. Yet, it comes to life when you slide out the cradle and dock your iPod.
"The AB-311 is stylish and inconspicuous," said Hauk. "When an individual removes an iPod from other iPod-type docking stations, it leaves behind a noticeable empty hole where the iPod docks."
Holding the iPod at an angle at light switch level, the AB-311 allows for easy reading of an iPod’s LCD display and is compatible with any iPod (except iPod Shuffle) with a dock connector including:
