Play the same music playlists throughout your house, or send different songs into each room/zone simultaneously with multiple sources! VidaBox's intuitive multi-zone audio interface makes it easy to control which songs you want to play and where you want it. Have an iPod®?

How it works

3. Connect DAC outputs to inputs of NuVo®/Russound® via L/R audio cables.
    These are your sources.
4. Add XM/FM/AM/WX/Sirius tuners, if needed. Each tuner will need a RS-232
    connection back to VidaBox for 2-way feedback.
5. Configure and connect your NuVo®/Russound®, as applicable.
6. Start configuration of multizone audio software after audio distribution
    system configuration is complete - enjoy!
