Connection of iCub to a Wi-Fi receiver
The iCub subwoofer can be directly
connected to a wireless network
thanks to a Wi-Fi station with
audio capabilities.
Such an installation permits a Wi-Fi
equipped computer to act as an audio
server and transmit the audio files
wirelessly to the iCub.
Connection of iCub to an Apple
TM
Airport Express
The iCub works optimally with the
TM
Airport Express station by Apple
This 802.11g (54 Mbps) Wi-Fi
station is capable of transmitting
compressed audio, but also native,
non-compressed audio. It also allows
the possibility of transmitting the
original audio signal from CD
with no alteration directly to iCub,
creating a wireless audio system of
very high quality (fig. G).
Connection can be done with a
traditional audio cable, but use of
an optical digital cable is highly
recommended for better definition
and improved dynamics.
Note: Use of the station Airport
Express TM requires the program
TM
iTunes from Apple Computer Inc
®
compatible Macintosh and PC.
Create a multiroom Wi-Fi network
Several Airport Express equipped iCubs can be installed in different locations in the house. Software such as "Player"
can permit you to activate or deactivate these stations as you move about your house.
