NAD CI 580 V2 BluOS Network Audio Player efficiently accommodates four sets of stereo zones within a compact 1U rack area, offering a versatile and budget-friendly BluOS™ solution. If more zones are desired, multiple CI 580 V2 units can be employed, and these zones can be effortlessly synchronized through the BluOS Controller App. Alternatively, distinct streams can be played concurrently in separate zones. With the integration of AirPlay 2, the CI 580 V2 gains even greater flexibility, allowing seamless inclusion within the Apple ecosystem.

BluOS™ Music Management

Unlike other solutions that rely on UPnP, or are simply repackaged PCs, the CI 580 features Bluesound's proprietary BluOS operating system BluOS supports many popular music services with playback of 24-bit music at sampling rates up to 96kHz. A BluOS Controller App is available for smartphones, tablets and desktops and allows you to access, control and stream music playlists to multiple BluOS-enabled zones in the home using simple touch-screen commands.

BluOS features deep integration with several of the top control systems, including Control4, Crestron, RTI and URC, among others. Unlike other network audio solutions, BluOS has a published API that allows a more complete and sustainable integration.

Lag-free Multi-Zone Streaming

The CI 580 V2 can be integrated into a BluOS connected home, and deliver blazing-fast music streams to any zone you select. By focusing on how to improve musical performance while providing a seamless network music experience, the CI 580 V2 ensures that there are no skips or delays – even when streaming and controlling music from your smartphone or tablet. Analogue and digital inputs are also available to add a cable box and other non-network sources, and make them available and selectable in every zone. The CI 580 V2 also includes a system interrupt feature to allow for doorbells and fire alarms to be heard.

12v Trigger

Back Panel NAD C 700 Integrated Amplifier

A 12V trigger is a control mechanism used in audio/video systems and home automation setups. It involves sending a 12-volt electrical signal (often low voltage) to trigger specific actions in compatible devices. These triggers are commonly used to coordinate the power state and actions of various components in a multimedia or home theatre system. Here's how it generally works:

Control Device (Transmitter): This device, such as an AV receiver, preamplifier, or home automation controller, generates a 12V trigger output signal.
Trigger Cable: A specialised cable with a 3.5mm mono jack on each end is used to carry the 12V trigger signal. One end is connected to the control device's trigger output, and the other end is connected to the trigger input on the target device.
Target Device (Receiver): This device could be a power amplifier, motorised projector screen, motorised curtains, cooling system, or any other equipment that needs to be controlled based on trigger signals.

When the control device sends out the 12V trigger signal, the target device responds accordingly. Common scenarios include:

Power On: When the control device powers on, it sends a 12V trigger signal to the target device, causing it to turn on as well. This is especially useful for amplifiers, subwoofers, or other components that should be active when the system is in use.
Power Off: Conversely, when the control device is powered off, it can send a 12V trigger signal to the target device, prompting it to power down. This ensures that all components shut down in a synchronised manner.
Other Actions: 12V triggers can also be used for actions beyond powering on/off, such as activating ventilation systems, adjusting lighting, or even triggering motorised mechanisms like projector lifts.

This automation simplifies the user experience and ensures that devices work harmoniously without the need for manual intervention. However, it's essential to ensure compatibility between devices, as not all components support 12V trigger functionality. Some systems also offer multiple trigger outputs or inputs, allowing for more complex setups where a single control signal can manage several devices simultaneously.

AirPlay/AirPlay 2

AirPlay is a wireless technology developed by Apple that allows you to stream audio, video, and other content from Apple devices to compatible speakers, televisions, and other devices. It enables you to share media and mirror your device's screen on larger displays. AirPlay is available on various Apple products, including iPhones, iPads, Mac computers, and Apple TVs.

Here are some key features and uses of AirPlay:

Streaming Audio: With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream music, podcasts, and other audio content from your Apple device to AirPlay-enabled speakers, sound systems, or smart TVs. This allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes with better audio quality on larger speakers.
Streaming Video: AirPlay also supports streaming video content from your Apple device to an AirPlay-compatible television or projector. This is particularly useful for watching videos, movies, or even mirroring your device's screen onto a larger display for presentations or entertainment.
Screen Mirroring: AirPlay supports mirroring your iPhone, iPad, or Mac screen onto an Apple TV or another compatible display. This is handy for sharing content with a larger audience, giving presentations, or simply displaying your device's interface on a bigger screen.
Multi-Room Audio: With AirPlay 2, the technology was expanded to support multi-room audio. This means you can play the same audio content on multiple AirPlay 2-enabled speakers throughout your home, creating a synchronized audio experience in different rooms.
Control and Compatibility: AirPlay works seamlessly with Apple devices, and many third-party devices and apps also support AirPlay functionality. These devices might include speakers, receivers, smart TVs, and more. Keep in mind that while some devices might support audio-only AirPlay, others might support video streaming and screen mirroring as well.
AirPlay 2: AirPlay 2 is an updated version of the technology that offers improved performance and additional features like multi-room audio support, better synchronization, and enhanced compatibility with a wider range of devices.

To use AirPlay, make sure both your source device (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and the target device (speakers, TV, etc.) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, simply use the AirPlay icon or option on your device's control panel to select the target device and start streaming. The content will be sent wirelessly, allowing you to enjoy your media on a larger screen or through better speakers.
