NuVo Technologies launches its new Music Port Server and Colour Touch Pad at this year’s Integrated Systems Europe 2010, while also inviting visitors to witness its game-changing Renovia whole-home audio system in full operation. NuVo’s new, low-energy Digital Power Amplifier is also exhibited at the show.

NuVo’s new Music Port Server provides up to 4 simultaneous sources, pooling a home’s PC-based audio content, whether in Windows Media Player or iTunes formats, into a comprehensive and easily accessed library, while also allowing for streaming audio from a variety of online services. The Music Port Server incorporates a 320 Gb hard drive and is the ideal auto synchronisation tool for music on a home network. Compatible with NuVo’s Grand Concerto, Essentia E6G, and Renovia systems, the Music Port Server allows any and all networked, compatible computers to become conduits to music through automatic syncing and full system control via the user-friendly, browser-based client software.

Complementing the Music Port Server, the new Colour Touch Pad features a vivid, full colour 3.6” touch LCD display, for intuitive and stunningly attractive control, extending not only the same easy navigation as NuVo’s other control options, but also affording the unique advantages of displaying album art and providing customisation of personal stations with online radio. NuVo’s Colour Touch Pad also offers the additional benefit of zone-to-zone audio control and includes four backlit buttons for fast access to basic system commands.

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. Visitors to NuVo’s booth can see how Renovia’s form factor allows for a more universally applicable and efficient installation, enabling dealers to deliver a reliable and profitable whole home audio solution to more homes in less time.

Also, on show is NuVo’s Digital Power Amplifier, available first quarter of 2010. This new, lightweight product presents dealers greater installation versatility with a slim, single rack design and selectable ohm rating (4-8 ohm stable). The new 2 x 120 watt amplifier will also appeal to homeowners with ecological concerns, offering an exceptionally high operational efficiency rating and keeping energy consumption below 5 watts in an idle state. A second 4 x 60 watt version is set to be available later in 2010.
