Yamaha announces new addition to MusicCast family. The EXPAND Series.
Yamaha today has announced 2 new additions to their award-winning multi-room audio system, MusicCast.
As part of the EXPAND Series, the WXA-50 Amplifier and WXC-50 Pre-Amplifier represents a new concept that goes beyond conventional thinking about audio. The compact design makes it easier than ever before to bring sound to additional areas using in-ceiling or outdoor speakers. Alternatively the Pre-amp can be used to bring much-loved audio equipment into the modern age - adding MusicCast multi-room functionality.
MusicCast is a revolution in network audio – a family of products including Yamaha AV Receivers, Speakers, Sound Bars, Hi Fi and Home Theatre systems that can be used separately or in tandem to create a whole-of-home wireless audio experience.
Controlled by a simple app, MusicCast provides quick and easy access to a huge selection of audio content from virtually any source including music streaming services, Internet radio stations, music files on smart devices and computers, Bluetooth sources, and external sources such as a TV, DVD, Blu-ray Disc and CD.
Addition of WXA-50 and WXC-50 significantly expands the versatility and enjoyment of the multiroom wireless system. By simply connecting the WXA-50 to an existing pair of speakers, or the WXC-50 to a favourite audio system, the user can easily and immediately enjoy all types of music sources and services as a standalone experience or as a part of the MusicCast multi-room audio system.
Each component features high-quality construction, simple design and eye-catching, two-tone colouring, creating a high level of style that integrates beautifully with any audio system. Both of WXA-50 and WXC-50 incorporate advanced Yamaha audio technologies and circuit designs, which enables enjoyment of great sound from any music source — no matter the listening environment, or the quality or kind of speakers being used.
At only 214 mm wide and 51.5 mm high, the WXA-50 and WXC-50 each fit neatly in any space, either horizontally or vertically, on their own or with other audio components.
The new wireless components also offer highly-flexible and scalable audio installation options for the custom installation market, including flexible trigger control, web setup, and the ability to house 2 units side-by-side in a 1U rack installation.
