Fill Your Home With Music

Let your music play all around your home. Enjoy different
songs in different rooms at the same time – or the same
one everywhere in Party Mode. This is designed to let
you stream, play and control your digital music via your
home wireless network. The Wireless Home Audio family
of devices is designed to work with your existing system
to make it easy to customize complete home-filling music
experiences. However you listen, you can configure a
Wireless Home Audio setup to perfectly suit your space,
tastes, and existing equipment. Set up in minutes – no
drilling, no stringing wires.

Cisco, the world’s leader in networking technology,
applied its years of knowledge and expertise to develop
an amazing lossless digital audio delivery solution that
preserves the full depth and richness of the recording,
as originally intended by the artist. Through distributed
decoding technology, each Wireless Home Audio player
receives the unmodified audio source material without
any trans-coding or compression. The audio is then
reproduced by one or more players, synchronized to
within microseconds in case of multiple players, without
any of the compression and echo artifacts so often evident
in other wireless audio systems. All of this means crystal
clear music, exactly as recorded, anywhere in your home.

complete, customized full-home music experience.

The stylish Conductor is an all-in-one Wireless-N music
center that is designed to receive and play digital music
streams over your wireless network through its built­in speakers and amplifier. Light and easily portable, it is
designed to go anywhere, so you can move it wherever
you want your music to play: Place it in the kitchen while
you prepare that special recipe. Move it to the dining room
when your guests sit down to dinner. Or plug it in outside
on the deck to enjoy the evening stars with your favorite
music selections.

The Conductor accesses digital music libraries on your
computer, on a networked hard drive, from the Linksys
by Cisco Media Hub, or from the Internet because it’s
wirelessly connected to your Wireless-N router.

There are three ways to control the Conductor. Select a
song or queue up a playlist simply by touching the icons
displayed on its color LCD screen, control it with the handy
IR (infrared) remote control that comes with it or with the
optional Controller (DMRW1000). The Conductor features
an integrated amplifier that drives its built-in speakers. It
even has a built-in CD player, too.

Director (DMC250)

The Director – Wireless-N Music Player is designed to
access the digital music libraries on your computer, on a
networked hard drive, or from the Internet. The Director
can be connected to the Linksys by Cisco Stereo Speakers
or existing speakers in your home.

The Director also has an integrated amplifier so it’s even
capable of efficiently delivering rich, full sound to the
tower speakers you may have in your home theater
system. The Director also comes with an infrared remote
control, and like the Conductor, can also be controlled
from another part of the house with the optional
Controller. The Director is equally at home on a bookshelf
in your den, master bedroom, or connected to your home
theater system. You can even connect analog devices like
turntables or cassette decks to it and share your LPs and
tapes throughout your home.

Player (DMP100)

The Player – Wireless-N Music Extender is the easiest way
to bring more of your digital or Internet music to more
rooms in your home.

The Player is designed to connect to an existing stereo
or surround sound system. It also comes with an infrared
remote control and like the Conductor and Director, can
also be controlled from another part of the house with
the optional Controller. Connect it to your home theater
receiver or to a stereo system in another part of the house.
Now, everyone in your family will have access to the
thousands of songs in your collection or millions of songs
from the Internet.

Controller (DMRW1000)

Controller/Wireless-N Touchscreen Remote

The Controller is the one device that will change the
way you interact with and enjoy music. It’s truly a game
changer. Unlike remote controls that must be in visible
proximity to the components they control, the Controller
wirelessly connects to your Wireless-N router, enabling
you to control your Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio
devices from other rooms in your house. Just touch the
Controller to change the music anywhere in the house.

Touch the volume button and all your music zones appear
instantly, so you can adjust the volume on any or every
device. Send different music to different rooms or the
same songs to the entire house. The Controller makes it
all possible. Looking for a song? Touch the Rhapsody icon
and conduct a search by the artist’s name to see their
catalog of work.

Remember that radio station you listened to while
vacationing overseas? Touch the RadioTime icon and find
it. The Controller includes an AC charging cord with a mini­USB connector, so it’s ready whenever you are.

Docking Station for iPod® (MCCI40)

The Docking Station for iPod connects to the back of
a Linksys by Cisco Conductor or Director. It includes
connector adapters for different types of Apple iPods.
Once connected you can share your favorite playlists over
your entire Linksys by Cisco Wireless Home Audio system.
You can even control the iPod with the optional Wireless-N
Controller, advancing tracks or adjusting volume levels on
each Wireless Home Audio player device throughout your
house.
