NuVo Technologies showed its WA30 Volume Control and Amplifier Wednesday at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas.
Designed to be built into a wall for easy access, the WA30 weighs in at 7 pounds and pairs with a 30-Watt amp, providing volume, power, and source control in a single wall plate. The 2-inch square unit has two hard-wired source inputs in the rear, enabling long-term connections to DVD players or computers, and two overriding mini stereo inputs in the front, to accommodate on-the-fly connections to portable devices.
The system can be used with on-wall or in-ceiling speakers rated at 40 Watts. Both the speakers and the power supply wire directly into the rear of the unit. With 10,000 units already sold, the WA30 is available now and has a standalone price of $249. Speakers and other accessories are available for an additional cost.
