The iCub subwoofer can be directly
connected to a wireless network
thanks to a Wi-Fi station with
audio capabilities.
Such an installation permits a Wi-Fi
equipped computer to act as an audio
server and transmit the audio files
wirelessly to the iCub.
Connection of iCub to an Apple ®
Airport Express TM
The iCub works optimally with the
Airport Express
TM station by Apple ® .
This 802.11g (54 Mbps) Wi-Fi
station is capable of transmitting
compressed audio, but also native,
non-compressed audio. It also allows
the possibility of transmitting the
original audio signal from CD
with no alteration directly to iCub,
creating a wireless audio system of
very high quality (fig. G).
Connection can be done with a
traditional audio cable, but use of
an optical digital cable is highly
recommended for better definition
and improved dynamics.
Note: Use of the station Airport
Express
TM requires the program
iTunes TM from Apple Computer Inc ® ,
compatible Macintosh ® and PC.
Create a multiroom Wi-Fi network
Several Airport Express equipped iCubs can be installed in different locations in the house. Software such as "Player"
can permit you to activate or deactivate these stations as you move about your house.
