BluOS brings hi-res distributed audio capabilities to the KNX community

ISE 2019, Amsterdam, NL, 31 January, 2019 – BluOS, the leading premium distributed audio and music management platform, is pleased to announce its membership with the KNX Association, a technology for smart and connected home solutions. KNX integrators and custom installers can now specify a wide range of BluOS Enabled products from NAD Electronics and Bluesound wireless multi-room players into KNX projects via an intermediary device. All BluOS Enabled devices feature the latest in audio technology, offering networked 24-bit streaming audio that fits any combination of use cases, including sturdy rack-mounted, traditional audiophile, and “modern music lover” hardware options.

“We are very excited to join a community as active and vibrant in the custom installation space as the KNX community,” says Joe de Jesus, Custom Installation Product Manager for Lenbrook International, the developer of BluOS. “We hope the community is going to appreciate BluOS for its versatility and conflict-free ease-of-use, not to mention the increased revenue potential that audiophile-quality solutions can potentially offer.”

Members of BluOS’s technical team will be on hand at the Integrated Systems Europe show at the RAI in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, February 5-9, 2019, to introduce KNX-integrated BluOS audio solutions to interested KNX integrators.
