Qsonix Remote Pro for iPad app brings easier touch control to its music servers
It's been a while since we checked in with Qsonix, but the company has kept right on with its high end music management systems, unveiling the Q205 and Q10 whole home audio servers last year. Of course, if you're spending north of $6k on a whole home audio solution, fixed touch control screens are nice but the new iPad remote app is more likely to provide the wow factor customers expect. Sure you could just control the music from a computer or iPhone, but in this market a marriage of the company's touch interface with the iPad's larger form factor is much more ideal. It'll find any Qsonix systems on the home network going back to the Q100 models (provided they're running version 3.4 of the firmware or higher.) Check the press release after the break or just snag the Qsonix Remote Pro from iTunes at the link. It's courteously available at the low price of "free," but we're betting that if you've got the iPad and the scratch for one of these, you could get up to some serious AirPlay synced shenanigans for even less.
Qsonix delivers 17-inch TS17 touchscreen for Q110 music management system
For those spending upwards of $6,000 on a sophisticated Q110 music management system, having an expansive 17-inch touch panel to control things is a practical necessity. The new TS17 controller can be wall-mounted or used on a tabletop in order to delve deep within your music library and come as close as you'll ever be to being a conductor. Additionally, Qsonix is introducing the v2.42 software, which enables users to burn CDs while playing back and adds client support for DirectWay and satellite-based internet service providers, the ability to import music from external USB drives and Ready-to-Play CD conversion service. No word on a price for the TS17, but current Q110 owners can snatch the update gratis right now.[Via Electronic House]
