Belkin discloses details of TuneStage Bluetooth stereo device
Belkin's TuneStage will offer a Bluetooth solution to the problem of connecting your iPod to your stereo wirelessly. The transmitter will attach to the top of the iPod and broadcast an audio signal to the receiver, which will connect to your stereo via a minijack to RCA cable. Belkin is considering the possibility of including an optical TOSLink connector on the final version of the product, allowing the audio signal to remain in the digital domain.
Although design factors can affect the quality of Bluetooth audio signals, Belkin product manager Randall Stowasser says they are 'extremely pleased' with the results they have been able to achieve with the TuneStage. The digital output is not quite line-out quality, but is reportedly close enough to meet the needs of most iPod users.
No word on what the price range of the device range might be, but it's a safe guess it will be a wee bit less pricey than Goldster's Concertino...
