ALTUS

In the works for almost two years, Sony and Best Buy just announced that they have joined forces to create a new line of home audio products. The new ALTUS line will feature wireless music systems, speakers, and home theater products.

First in the ALTUS product lineup are two iPod docking systems. The ALT-SA31iR multi-room iPod package features a docking station for iPod/iPhone, two high-output wireless speakers, an AM/FM tuner and S-AIR remote with an LCD display. On the display, you can see the album being played, artist, and track information. The ALT-SA31iR system can also be used to transmit audio to all other S-AIR compatible receivers. The ALT-SA31iR system will have an MSRP of $700 and will be available in September.Read more
