terminals for powering nearly any loudspeakers, including Yamaha's matching MCX-SP10.

You can think of the MusicCAST system as a digital jukebox for every room in your home. The MCX-A10 provides instant access to the massive library of songs (in MP3 or linear PCM) you've stored on the MCX-1000 server. With your client, you can easily create playlists to complement special occasions or gatherings, or simply enjoy selections from your entire CD collection at random, all without having to leave the room--or even cross the room--to select the music.

The MCX-A10's efficient graphical user interface and slender remote control put the ability to organize and browse your collection right at your fingertips. You'll even enjoy visual access to all server features through an onscreen display (when connected to a local TV).

Connections include one each stereo analog (left/right) audio input and output and a dedicated subwoofer output in case you want to enhance the system's low-end output with a powered sub.

The client features speaker and line outputs, a LAN connection for optional wired communication with the MusicCAST server, and video outputs for displaying the onscreen menus on a TV or monitor.
