NuVo Technologies Accepts Orders for New Colour Touch Pad (16/3/2010)

NuVo Technologies is now accepting orders for the new Colour Touch Pad, delivering stylish, versatile and user-friendly control for its top of the range Grand Concerto and award-winning Renovia whole-home audio systems.

The Colour Touch Pad is a sleek, full colour 3.6” touch screen LCD display, capable of providing individual zone or whole home control of a property’s audio system. It offers full metadata display and specific control of a range of NuVo sources in a system, including the NuVoDock for iPod, the T2 series of tuners and the new Music Port Server (MPS4).

Working with the new Music Port Server, the Colour Touch Pad provides additional control advantages. The Music Port Server consolidates digital audio content from different networked computers in the home into a single, easy to navigate library, whilst also offering the capability to stream audio from online sources into a home’s NuVo multi-room system. The Colour Touch Pad will display metadata received via the Music Port Server and show Album Art on its colour display. It also provides unique customisation for online radio stations.

The touch-screen itself is very simple to navigate, utilising a range of intuitive menu options, which makes it quick and easy to browse and access content, or change between sources, channels and zones. It also features four hard buttons for commonly used functions (power, home, volume up and volume down). An IR pass-through on the product gives users the option of controlling operation via a remote device. Designed to be recessed into the wall, the Colour Touch Pad is also straightforward to install.

Scheduled for European launch in 2010, Renovia is a high-quality, easy-to-install and easy-to-use whole home audio system that uses the existing electrical wiring in a home as the infrastructure for delivering audio and metadata from multiple sources, to multiple rooms. Based on HomePlug powerline carrier (PLC) technology, Renovia will offer integrators an exceptional whole home audio solution which is much easier than traditional systems to install in solid wall construction. In September 2009, Renovia secured a coveted CEDIA US Manufacturers Excellence Award in the Best New Products category.

Grand Concerto is an elegant, six-source, eight-zone whole home audio system that combines NuVo’s proven performance and the industry’s most innovative technology. It provides 80 watts of power per zone to create the NuVo signature sound - impeccably crisp and clean at any volume.
