In addition to its terrestrial and internet radio capabilities, AXiS will also provide access to online music service Last.fm*. Simply choose an artist or genre and let Last.fm build the perfect playlist from its library of over 5 million tracks – unique to you, and fresh every time. Alternatively, you can use your existing Last.fm profile if you have one.
AXiS will also wirelessly stream your digital music files from any ‘connected’ PC or Apple Mac, displaying full colour album artwork and track information where available.
AXiS’s superb audio performance is thanks to the inclusion of NXT’s patented ‘Balanced-Radiator’ (BR) loudspeaker technology. BR drive units combine the performance attributes of an NXT flat panel speaker with the pistonic movement of a conventional loudspeaker, resulting in a high performance compact drive unit that can cover a wider range of frequencies.
The result is 8 watts of high resolution digital audio from AXiS’s Class D amplifier, a smooth frequency response, expansive sound stage and deep, satisfying bass.
Made for Your Tunes: AXiS is compatible with all the following models of iPod and iPhone:
Other iPod models and alternative types of media player can also be connected easily to AXiS, by using a standard 3.5mm auxiliary cable.
