September Skylabs Newsletter

September 09, 2024

Welcome to the September issue of the Skylabs Newsletter. Summer has certainly flown by for us, and we are preparing for colder weather and more inside days listening to our favorite records and streaming services. Streaming is an area of confusion for many of our customers, so we thought we would try to bring some clarity to our readers on the topic. We devoted the latest Skylabs’ YouTube video to streaming basics, and you can view it by clicking the link below:

Skylabs’ Streaming Solutions

Skylabs now offers Cambridge Audio’s WIFI Streaming components for purchase in store or through www.skylabsaudio.com. These products are simple solutions to add to your existing HIFI system as individual/independent listening rooms. Please note, if you are interested in a whole home solution, as described in Kevin’s video marrying multiple rooms/systems to play a single audio stream, Cambridge Audio’s streaming products require a 3rd party whole home application (Roon Multi-Room, Google ChromeCast, Apple Airplay).
