New devolo MicroLink dLAN® Audio Connects PCs and Hi-Fis Via Household Electrical Power Circuit

MicroLink dLAN® Audio

devolo UK has extended its MicroLink dLAN® (direct Local Area Network) range of HomePlug products with the MicroLink dLAN® Audio. This device allows users to interconnect PCs, Hi-Fis or active speakers quickly and easily using the existing household electricity wiring, with no need for additional cabling.

This plug-and-play home audio network lets users stream MP3s, WMA files or Internet radio into any room in their home with a household power socket from their Hi-Fi system, PC or external loudspeakers, in stereo CD quality.

The new MicroLink dLAN® Audio adapter can be plugged into any domestic power socket and features cinch, mini-jack and microphone sockets (analogue / digital input / output) for connecting Hi-Fi systems, loudspeakers or microphones. Two adapters enable a simple audio network.

The integrated encoder and decoder allow the stereo playback of MP3/ WMA files with audio data rates of up to 44.1 kHz in CD quality. With devolo plug-ins for Winamp and Windows Media Player, the user’s PC can also be used as a network jukebox.

“Many people have their Hi-Fi system in the living room and want to hear music in the kitchen too. Now they need nothing more than 2 MicroLink dLAN® Audio adapters and a pair of active loudspeakers”, said Heiko Harbers, CEO of devolo AG in Aachen Germany. “There’s no need to drill through walls or ceilings or lay new cables, as the new dLAN® Audio makes it exceptionally easy to listen to Internet radio stations or MP3 files in any room, from every household power socket via your PC or Hi-Fi."

HomePlug technology is established as the easiest home networking alternative for interconnecting computers and gaming consoles via the existing household power circuit. And as MicroLink dLAN® adapters communicate over the existing electricity cabling, they are well suited to old buildings and houses; MicroLink dLAN® adapters don’t suffer from typical WLAN networking obstacles like thick walls and multi-floors.

Europe’s market leader for HomePlug products is releasing the unique MicroLink dLAN® Audio in June with an RRP of £119.99 inc. VAT.
