C4-WMB-B Wireless Music Bridge

Introduction

The Control4® Wireless Music Bridge lets you
play music, Internet radio, and podcasts from
your smartphone devices through iOS (AirPlay®),
Bluetooth®, Android™ or Windows (using DLNA®).
Simply attach the Wireless Music Bridge cables to a
Control4 4-Zone Amplifier or Multi Channel Amplifier,
add the device to a room in Composer, and you’re
ready to go. This device supports OS 2.5.0 or later.

The Wireless Music Bridge makes it easy to stream
popular Internet music services, such as Pandora®
and Spotify®, to any room in a home, using your
smartphone. To enjoy separate streams of music,
connect one Wireless Music Bridge for each zone on
a 4-Zone Amplifier or Multi Channel Amplifier.

The Wireless Music Bridge allows one (1)
smartphone/tablet to be connected to the Control4
system at a time. It is possible for multiple phones
to connect to the Wireless Music Bridge, but only
one phone can output audio. More than one Wireless
Music Bridge can be used in a Control4 system
simultaneously, allowing individual users to connect
their phone to their room of choice.

This device uses Ethernet or WiFi connectivity to
communicate with the Control4 system.
