Logitech introduces the Squeezebox Duet
Here’s the newly introduced Logitech Squeezebox Duet network music system which allows consumers to listen to their digital music collection from anywhere in the home – as long as they are within reach of their network (wired or via wireless connectivity). The Squeezebox Duet has two parts – the Squeezebox Duet Controller and the Squeezebox Duet Receiver.
The Logitech Squeezebox Duet Controller features a beautiful 2.4 inch full color LCD display which helps user navigate their entire digital music collection. A single controller can control multiple Squeezebox Duet receivers around the home. The controller comes with a convenient scroll wheel, a graphical menu-ing system, and intuitive buttons. You can access your personal music collection, Internet radio stations, and online music subscription services all via the Duet Controller. The controller allows you to search music by artist, albums, playlists, genres, and various other categories. You’ll also be able to see album cover art on the full color display and be able to customize the screen with your own wallpaper.
The Logitech Squeezebox Duet Receiver is a compact wireless receiver which easily fits in any room in the home – whether it’s the living room, bedroom, den, or the kitch. It features 802.11g wireless communications which means you won’t need to run an Ethernet cable around the entire house. You can easily run multiple receivers around the home to play separate tracks around the house or you can even synchronize the songs being played back on all the receivers at the same time.
Other features include:
- Support for a wide variety of digital music files including uncompressed and lossless formats
