“NuVo has consistently pursued ways to offer installers flexible systems to accommodate their customers’ wants and needs,” says NuVo Technologies president David Rodarte.

“This App follows the example of easy use set by NuVo’s in-wall and wireless control options, with an added element of convenience. It’s something our dealers have wanted, and we’re excited to offer them another selling point.”

The NuVo App allows for any NuVo Concerto (I8G), Essentia (E6G), or Renovia system that contains the Music Port (MPS4) or upcoming Music Port Elite (MPS4-E) to be controlled through a home-owner’s favourite Apple devices. Users can access and navigate their music library, power on the system, adjust volume, set a music queue, pause or mute, while easily searching by artist, album, genre or favourites.

They can even customise their Pandora stations. The ‘now playing’ display conveniently shows artist and station information as well as album art. Available audio selections include: iTunes, Windows Media Audio, Pandora, XM (subscription required), SIRIUS (subscription required), and RadioTime.

NuVo’s App, available from the iTunes store, controls all audio zones.

A free Lite version to control a single area of the home is also available for download.
