Music Server Systems

What are Music Server Systems?

Music servers are scaleable digital multi media storage devices. They vary in size and specification and store extensive music libraries all in one place, distributing multi room audio and speaker systems included in a single or multi room arrangement.

What are the benefits of Music Server Systems?

A music server system is the best way to keep every member of the household happy. Available either as a standalone music server or for multi-room configuration, music servers store and distribute different music from your digital CD library simultaneously to multiple rooms in the house, outside by the pool or in the garage. Music servers give you the ability to copy every CD and with the right equipment, even convert your cassettes and vinyl LPs in your home to the integral hard drive. They hold content of 800 CDs to many thousands. Some of our premium music server suppliers manufacture media servers with up to 6Tb of storage and they can be connected to your PC or Mac computer. With a music server controlling your multi-room audio system you can also stream internet radio or music downloaded through iTunes as easily as slotting a CD into your existing player providing as many as six different music streams to as many rooms as you like – simultaneously.
