SpeakerCraft has introduced MODE, the Music On Demand Experience. The MODE, a full-color, wall-mounted screen interface with a scroll wheel and push button controls, allows home owners to access and control all of their multimedia equipment, including iPods, in up to six rooms of the home.

MODE supports up to six multimedia devices through the SpeakerCraft

MZC (multi-zone control) system — including hard drive music servers, satellite radio, AM/FM radio tuners, and all other sources that respond to infrared commands. The key feature of MODE is its ability to control and display all content stored on your iPod in up to six rooms, a feature not available on any other multi-zone home install system.

“Having lived with an iPod since its introduction, I have always been thrilled with its ease of use and complete access to music and audio content,” explains Jeremy Burkhardt, President of SpeakerCraft. “It is the music server of choice. MODE will now allow people to enjoy the iPod experience throughout their home with the same ease and convenience.”

MODE will be available starting in the fall of ‘05.

Speakercraft has introduced the MZC/iPod Interface kit, which is designed to let you access an iPod from any room in your house. The interface works with all iPod models with a Dock Connector.

The naviPod provides five commands; volume up, volume down, pause/play, next track and previous track. SpeakerCraft’s naviPod kit includes a 5-button infrared remote control and a receiver unit that plugs directly into the top of the iPod.

Also included is a SpeakerCraft IR emitter and four iPod replacement buttons. This kit, combined with the company’s MZC-66 Multi-Zone Controller, provides several additional codes to add more functions than are available with the naviPod alone. Read more…
