Here is an alternative to a docking station – an unwired adapter from Audioengine that makes the music playback task easy for iPod owners. Called the Audioengine W2 (AW2), the premium wireless adapter gets iPod connected to a stereo system without the need of a cable and delivers outstanding audio performance.
Users just need plug the premium wireless adapter into the iPod and the available receiver to the stereo system and you are all ready to control your music from iPod (that acts as a remote control) and enjoy superior playback.
Based on Wi-Fi technology, the pre-configured AW2 requires no batteries, no buttons to push and no software. It works effectively within the range of 30 ft without the need of a separate remote or base station.
It is said that the AW2 takes advantage of uncompressed CD-quality transmission technology to use Wi-Fi-based wireless, which is an all-digital PCM encoded stream that is sent over a closed network. It uses some clever error correction and low latency to offer music without any lag, loss in sound quality or interference.
The Audioengine W2 (AW2) Premium Wireless Adapter for iPod is currently available through an authorized Audioengine reseller or at company’s online store for an estimated price of US$169 (approx. Rs. 8,340).
