 Power Dock Kit

 

Russound’s new iBridge Power Dock allows the retrofit 
addition of iPod to a multiroom audio system painless. Using 
innovative Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology, the iBridge 
Power Dock makes it possible to add an iPod as an audio 
system source without running new wiring. 

The Power Dock employs RNET Power Line Carrier

 (PLC) 

technology to send audio and RNET control signals between 
a multiroom controller and the Power Dock over the home’s 
existing common power lines. PLC technology also allows 
the Power Dock to be portable within a home. Simply unplug 
the Power Dock and Dock Adapter, move it to any room, and 
plug it back in.

Through PLC, the Power Dock and Dock Adapter 
communicate with the iBridge PLC Controller Adapter, which 
mounts at the multiroom controller location and converts 
information from the electrical line to RNET signals and 
analog audio.

Power Dock works with most multiroom systems or A/V receivers

The iBridge Power Dock features a standard 30-pin dock 
connector and ships with five well adapters to support most 
iPod models. It provides power to the iPod to keep it charged 
while docked and connected to the system. A maximum of 
four iBridge Power Docks per system, and each Power Dock 
requires its own Dock Adapter and Controller Adapter.

Just like Russound’s original iBridge Dock, the Power Dock 
allows you to listen to all the music stored on an iPod through 
in-wall and in-ceiling speakers of a multiroom audio system. 
Combining an iPod and the intelligence of RNET results in a 
merging of form and function. When used with Russound’s 
UNO-TS2 Smart Color Touchscreen, users can select music 
from their library as if they had the iPod in their hands. 
Navigation and selection of playlists, genres, artists, albums 
and songs is as easy as a touch of a button. As music is 
selected, information (metadata) appears on UNO keypads 
and touchscreens.
