MARANTZ TACKLES “GOLIATH” OF MULTI-ZONE HOME AUDIO NETWORKING
WITH INNOVATIVE DAvED “VIRTUALLY WIRELESS” TECHNOLOGY
-First Two Marantz DAvED Products Let Users Easily Set Up Multiple Room Home Music Systems
– Running Digital Audio Signals Through Existing AC Power Lines! -
Itasca, IL, January 31, 2006— Marantz America, a world leader in advanced home entertainment
solutions, has introduced a major innovation in multi-zone audio distribution, “DAvED” (Digital Audio
via Electrical Distribution). Originally introduced at CES under the prototype name “PLAC,” DAvED
(pronounced “David”) is comprised of the Marantz ZR6001SP system, which includes the ZR6001
Audio/Video receiver, and the ZC4001 Client. When combined, these two high-performance components
make it easier than ever for consumers to set up a multiple room digital audio distribution system in their
home – by actually running all their favorite music to any room in the house via the existing AC power
lines in their home.
How DAvED Works…True “Plug and Play” Audio Networking
Designed for easy and quick consumer set-up, Marantz’ new DAvED technology is an ingenious method
of bi-directional signal communication by using AC power lines as a transmission channel,
superimposing high frequency signals over the AC power line. Multi-room communication between audio
components equipped with DAvED circuitry begins the moment they are plugged into any electrical
outlet, offering simple plug-and-play audio networking. Marantz’ new ZR6001 receiver and the ZC4001
Client have been specially designed for transmitting audio streaming data, providing real-time streaming
of full CD-quality (44.1kHz/16-bit) audio. Because the system works via existing AC power lines, there is
no possibility of interference from other wireless systems such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or even a microwave
oven.
