If the source, amplifier, and control are not planned together, the room can feel disconnected from the rest of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAudio Two uses zone components like this when a room needs its own music access, its own amplification, and a control path that makes sense in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBluOS Streaming and Amplification for One Installed Zone\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NAD CI 720 V2 is a single-zone network stereo amplifier with BluOS and HybridDigital amplification built in. NAD rates it at 2 x 60 watts, with dynamic power up to 165 watts, giving one room a compact source-and-amplifier solution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt can be used where BluOS music control is the right daily experience, or integrated into a broader automation system through supported drivers for platforms including Control4, Crestron, RTI, URC, Lutron, PUSH, iPort, and ELAN. Audio Two can also design AVA as the room-side interface when the project calls for a more polished control surface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat the Specs Won't Tell You\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Single Zone Can Still Feel Premium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe CI 720 V2 keeps the streaming source and amplifier together, which helps one room feel complete without adding visible equipment. That is useful for an office, bedroom, sitting area, or any space where clean placement matters but the music should still have substance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Rooms Can Stay Organized\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the RM 720 rack accessory, up to six CI 720 V2 units can fit into 3U of rack space. That gives Audio Two a modular way to build separate powered zones while keeping the rack face clean and serviceable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Can Match the System Scope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBluOS gives straightforward music control from a phone or tablet, while the published third-party driver ecosystem allows Audio Two to bring the zone into a larger control system when needed.

It gives Audio Two a flexible building block for smaller areas, secondary zones, and rack-based systems that benefit from individual zone redundancy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned properly, it keeps the equipment quiet and controlled while giving the room better music than a basic utility zone would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTech You Can Hear\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat You Hear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhy It Happens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne room has its own clean music source and amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluOS network streaming and 2 x 60W HybridDigital amplification in one unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMusic has more control than a low-power background feed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDynamic power capability up to 165W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe room can join the larger music system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluOS supports multi-zone control and high-resolution streaming\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomation scenes can include the zone where needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThird-party drivers include Control4, Crestron, RTI, URC, Lutron, PUSH, iPort, and ELAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeveral powered rooms can remain rack organized\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRM 720 rack mount holds up to six CI 720 V2 units in 3U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSingle-zone BluOS network stereo amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 x 60W HybridDigital amplification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamic power up to 165W\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAirPlay 2 built in\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRCA stereo, optical, USB, IR input, subwoofer output, and Phoenix speaker output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupports MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, and AIFF formats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRM 720 rack accessory supports up to six units in 3U\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Audio Two\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is custom-install infrastructure for a designed Audio Two system.
