You can purchase the ASB-2 BRACKET FOR WALL MOUNT EXTRA as an optional extra with this Item!

Monitor Audio has conceived the ASB-2 as the ultimate audio hub for the home. It can operate as a high quality soundbar beneath a TV monitor from rack or wall positions, but offers so much more than the conventional amalgam of left, centre, right speakers. Apple AirPlay®, DLNA® and UPnP enabled, the ASB-2 will deliver uncompressed music from files stored on PC or Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, Android or Windows phone, or streamed from Internet services. In addition to iTunes and DNLA compatible Apps, friends can connect and play directly to the ASB-2 without network access via Airstream Direct.

Connect a plethora of sound sources to the ASB-2 via three HDMI inputs and use the HDMI output for 1080p/3D video pass through and OSD. HDMI 1.4’s Audio Return Channel (ARC) allows for the two way transfer of information between the ASB-2 and a compatible device, creating an additional input from the HDMI output. Digital S/PDIF optical and coaxial inputs add further flexibility, together with stereo analogue RCAs for plugging-in legacy radios and CD players. A single RCA LFE output allows for system expansion with an external sub-woofer - crossover filtering is automatic. Network setup and upgrades are via USB or Wi-Fi.

Select input, track, volume, mute, menu, play and standby from the ASB-2’s compact handset, or access this functionality from home control screens via hex codes for each remote feature, which can be programmed into a whole-house system by your custom installer.
