Our regular customers and followers (and, indeed, our readers. Hello!) have probably noticed by now that we like to have a sparkly new theme, each and every month. This theme applies to everything, from what we read about (and share) on social media, to the events we hold in store and – of course – to all of our special offers. It also helps us narrow down what we will be talking about in that month’s blogs (again, hello!). They’re usually about something broad, like vinyl or speakers, or perhaps a significant time of year. But every now and then, something special comes along. Something so special it deserves far more than just a few mentions and a single blog post. This month: October 2015, is one of those months.
This time, it’s all about the awesome Yamaha MusicCast!
Okay okay, yes. We have written about MusicCast before (frankly, as soon as we found out we were to be stocking it we could scarcely hold it in!) but now things are a little more solid. Before we only had products available for demonstration and pre-order, but now we have all of the items in stock and ready for despatch at the click of a button, so now is the time to celebrate! If our previous blogs on the subject hadn’t already whet your appetite, now is the best time to order this alternative multiroom system for yourself, and be one of the first in the country to do so!
Why? I’ll give you three reasons.
1) We’re offering fantastic trade in offers on any Sonos product (if you wish to upgrade to MusicCast – and we definitely think you should. Just see the benefits below!)
2) Most of the items are available for 24 hour dispatch – just give us a quick call beforehand to be sure!
And best of all…
3) We’re giving away a free set of Yamaha EPH-M100 earphones (worth £79!) with any order over £400 placed online! This is one of our biggest and best giveaways ever – and it’s all to celebrate MusicCast!
But why are we so excited about MusicCast in the first place?
Here are three more reasons…
That’s the WX-030, a wireless speaker you can read all about here.
That’s the Yamaha ISX-80, the ‘model up’ from the WX-030.
And that’s the YSP-1600, a digital sound projector which you can read all about here.
There are also three packs available (Duo, Duett and Trio!) which contain variants of the three ‘core’ items above… but at special discounted prices!
We seem to be doing well with lists in this blog, so lets continue as we we began. Here are the main reasons why you should consider stepping to MusicCast with your multiroom needs.
We managed to whittle it down to 12. You should have seen the length of the ‘short’list!
1) This is far more than your average multi room system! Most consist of a system of wireless music speakers, but the MusicCast system consists of all sorts of things: a soundbar, a mini hi-fi system, a bedside radio and all sorts of other things. All of which are capable of working together, with or without standalone speakers. Whatever you’re in the market for, it will form a part of your multiroom system with ease, and withut the need for an extra spend.
2) This. Is. YAMAHA, That means exceptional sound quality, design, engineering and manufacture, all built on some serious heritage of audio experience
3) Have you heard of two way Bluetooth? This means an item which has both an output, as well as being ab;le to receive a signal. All of the products in the MusicCast range have this feature, which is completely unique to them. And actually very handy, particularly if you want to listen to different things in different rooms.
4) In addition to MusicCast (which works like AirPlay), these devices also support… AirPlay.
5) As long as the products sit in the same network (don’t worry, it’s network stable so they don’t need to be close to the router!) they will communicate with eachother, completely automatically.
6) It’s not quite ‘plug and play’ but it’s very close. Each item is 2-stage SETUP. All you have to do is download the MusicCasr app to the device, then press “Connect” on the product. It takes just few seconds to connect, and then you’re away.
7) Anyone can join in! As long as that person has the MusicCast app on their device, they can play their own music through the system. It’s multi – on every level!
8) Another completely unique feature is the ability to listen to internet audio through MusicCast while viewing the media on your device. For example, watching a YouTube video on your iPad while listening to the audio through your system. No other multi-room system allows for this, so it’s pretty darn special.
9) It’s completely versatile. You can listen to any internet streaming service (even Spotify!) through it. Basically, if you can hear it, so can MusicCast. Nothing is off limits!
10) It’s all hi-res! All of the MusicCassupport 192/24-bit and support for FLAC files. There is also support for DSD audio which runs at 5.6MhZ.
11) It’s the eco-friendly-multi-room option! All of the models use less than 3W on standby… while most competitors sit around 20W. Some of the alternatives won’t ever switch off, but this one will.
12) It’s incredibly easy to use. There’s an ON/OFF control from app for each device, and it’s fully customisable too, with nameable rooms that you can take photos of.
See?
Basically, you’d be a little stupid not to at least think about giving MusicCast a try. The sound is exceptional, the build is divine, and it has a plethora of features that make it so much more versatile than anything else on the market. Trust us, we’ve tried them all!
