(Compton, CA) - June 2, 2006 – Belkin Corporation announces TuneStage for iPod nano, a device that allows you to play the music from your iPod nano through your home stereo wirelessly via Bluetooth technology. With a transmitter connected to your iPod nano and a receiver wired to your system, TuneStage offers reliable, high-quality sound without the clutter of cables. Wirelessly connected through TuneStage, your iPod nano becomes the ultimate remote, giving you full control of your music.
TuneStage for iPod nano will ship in North America in July 2006, with launches in Asia, Europe, and Australia to follow. It will also be on display at the Home Entertainment Show 2006 in Los Angeles, CA, June 1–4 in Suite 201.
TuneStage provides a stylish, easy way to play tunes from your iPod nano through your home stereo—without wires. Using advanced Bluetooth v1.2 technology, TuneStage can transmit from up to 33 feet** away from your stereo, through your home entertainment cabinet or even from another room. Your music keeps playing without the direct line-of-sight restriction imposed by other wireless remotes. The receiver connects via RCA or 3.5mm outputs to your home stereo system.
Since the unit draws power directly from the iPod nano, it needs no batteries. A mini-USB port under the transmitter offers the added convenience of charging your device while in use.
