Introduction:

For those music lovers out there who have collections of MP3s that dwarfs the library of congress and would like to hear them on their home stereo which is located on the other side of the house there is a solution that does not include dragging wires from your PC to the stereo. ABIT has given TechwareLabs their wireless music solution named the "AirPace". The AirPace is a Wireless Audio Device with built in Access Point,” gives you the ability to send audio from your PC through the AirPace wireless access point to your home entertainment system or similar device. The AirPace is Abits competitor to Linksys’ audio bridge.

Features:

From a wiring standpoint the AirPace is quite simple to setup giving you the option of using standard coaxial input, Digital, or analog connections to your stereo or even headphones. There is a connection for the LAN input from your existing router or wired signal. Taking this entire concept one step further requires only a bit more knowledge and hardware to make your entire network system wireless. Essentially the AirPace could be a central part of your network located near your normal wireless router while your PC and other hardware operates completely free of wires.

The AirPace has an RJ-45 port for configuration or continual use, set of coax (RCA) ports, Line-out, and an Optical port.

The Airpace also comes with this small remote (2.4" X 1" X 1/8th" in size) giving you remote management of what is being sent from your PC to the stereo.

The hook up of the AirPace to your home audio system can not get any easier. With several options of how to send the audio, the toughest thing about the install will be deciding how you will send the audio to your stereo. Of course, if you have the optical port, TechwareLabs recommends using it as optical will use only one cable and provide the cleanest sound.
