Turn your PC into a Six Room Music Server by adding our XLi PCI-e card
CasaTunes XLi consists of a PCI-e card that plugs into your PC or Media Center PC.
The only other hardware equipment required is a multi-channel amplifier and speakers
installed in each of the rooms of your home. The XLi card offers an advanced DVD-audio
quality sound output with a built-in matrix switch and preamplifier circuits built
on the card.
To complete your installation, simply add a multi-channel amplifier, such as our
CasaTunes XLa
12 x 30W multi-channel amplifier, and add speakers of your own choice.
The XLi card can play your music in up to 6 separate rooms in the home. The stereo
outputs that feed your multi-channel amplifier are labeled Z1 through
Z6 on the XLi bracket. Each output consists of a 3.5mm pre-amplified
high impedance output stereo jack. Using the CasaTunes software (which is provided with the XLi), you
can control the Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble and Loudness Compensation settings
for each room.
The XLi includes four built-in music players which are used to play music from your
Windows media library, iPod, iTunes, or Internet radio.
An external music source can be plugged into the L1 IN (line in) jack for a fifth source of music. This could be
an XM or Sirius tuner, AM/FM tuner, satelittle receiver, cable box or other audio
device. If this device is controlled via IR, you can use an IR emitter attached to the IR Out jack to control the device.
In addition to the built in music server, the CasaTunes XLi has an onboard hardware matrix switch, which allows you
to switch any number of sources to any number and combination of rooms. If playing a source in multiple rooms,
the music is guaranteed to be perfectly synchronized in all rooms, with no delays and no echos.
When combined with our CasaTunes Software (which is included with the XLi),
the CasaTunes XLi provides all the control you need to manage your multi-room audio solution from anywhere in the home.
