Logitech Wireless DJ Music System
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 10:00 AM
"Building on the success of its innovative, user-friendly Harmony remote controls, Logitech is applying the same expertise elsewhere in its accessories empire. Case in point is the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System: The $250 system is anchored by a wireless remote control with a built-in LCD readout that allows you to access and navigate digital music files on your PC or the Internet and hear them on your home stereo. Unlike competing audio devices that stream PC audio over a home network, the Logitech Wireless DJ broadcasts music from a wireless transmitter that plugs into your PC's USB port. The audio is sent to a small receiver that can be placed elsewhere in your home and plugged into any stereo system with a free auxiliary input. The receiver doubles as a charger/cradle for the Wireless DJ's third and most important component, the wireless remote control. "
Interesting device and if it is anything like the Harmony remote control, I'd say it is a winner. I think they need to promote the ease of setup since this system avoids the network setup issues that some potential customers might be afraid of. I'd also like to see some details regarding the frequency this runs at since the 2.4 Ghz spectrum seems awfully crowded.
