Bose Integrates SoundTouch Wireless Music Products With High-End Control Systems

Bose announced at the CEDIA show API integrations for its SoundTouch wireless music system that work with whole-home control systems from AMX, Control4, Crestron, Elan and URC. The SoundTouch systems have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, enabling instant listening from a smartphone along with multiroom play via the home network, said the company. New for the integrator channel are the SoundTouch SA-5 amplifier with three auxiliary inputs that can be selected from the SoundTouch app. The 100-watt-per-channel amp can power two sets of speakers, said Bose. The company also took the wraps off in-ceiling and in-wall speakers in its Virtually Invisible line. Both speakers have a “near bezel-less design,” said the company, along with Bose Stereo Everywhere that's said to deliver balanced stereo evenly across a room.
