A major update to its multi-room audio ecosystem has been announced by SpeakerCraft. The new software adds streaming audio services, plus dynamic zone grouping and a new streamlined user interface.

The built-in streaming services include Spotify, TuneIn, Pandora and other popular internet radio services. These new services unlock a seventh source in the MRA-664 chassis that drives the multi-room ecosystems six zones of audio, expandable to 12 with a second chassis. The dynamic zone grouping feature allows family members to instantly group media zones on the fly for party mode, or when the entertainment moves from room to room.

These new features make the platform more user-friendly than ever, said Core Brands software product manager Tom McKeon. And as a free software update, it enables any existing MRA-664 system to easily upgrade to the new features.

Launched in 2015 as a six-source, six-zone system, SpeakerCrafts MRA664 is anchored to an ecosystem that includes two touchpanels and a wireless remote. The installation wizard enables configuration of the entire system now seven sources and six zones from a tablet or laptop.

The SpeakerCraft app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play to enable control from mobile devices. Stand: 1-N53
