About the Sony SA-NS400
Here's a wireless speaker system that makes whole-house audio easy. You can stream music wirelessly to Sony's SA-NS400 speaker from a NAC-SV10i wireless iPod® dock, NAS-SV20i iPod speaker dock, or other compatible components. The SANS400 is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compliant. That means it can also communicate with any other DLNA devices, such as PCs, media servers, and more, throughout your home.
You can place the speaker just about anywhere and get great sound. Four 2-way speakers inside create a spacious, 360° soundfield. And the built-in subwoofer delivers low tones with authority.
Plus, the system has a stereo minijack input, so if you just want to hear something from your portable player, you can make a wired connection through your device's headphone jack.
