Featuring AirTunes for playing your iTunes music wirelessly on your
home stereo or powered speakers, AirPort Express brings not only the
Internet but your music to wherever in your home you like to enjoy them
most — whether you use a Mac or Windows PC. Unmatched in its ease of
use, it delivers data rates up to 54 megabits per second, fits in the
palm of your hand so you can take it wherever you go — and it costs
just $129.
Driving the Wi-Fi Revolution
In 1999, Apple sparked the wireless revolution with the introduction
of AirPort, the first affordable and easy-to-use solution for accessing
the Internet without restrictive cables. In 2003, AirPort Extreme took
your unwired connection to the next level by harnessing the superfast
802.11g wireless standard for data rates nearly five times those of the
802.11b standard that the original AirPort used and many current
wireless networking devices still use. With AirPort Express, Apple
continues to advance wireless, delivering the first device to pack
wireless networking, audio, printing and bridging capabilities into a
single affordable, portable unit.
AirTunes Unleashes Your Music
AirPort Express and iTunes 6.0.2 bring your music on your Mac or PC
into your living room — or wherever in your home you have stereo or
powered speakers.(1)
All you have to do is connect your sound system to the audio port on
the AirPort Express Base Station using an audio cable (included in the
optional AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit) and AirTunes lets you
play your iTunes music through your stereo or powered speakers —
wirelessly. iTunes automatically detects the connection of your remote
speakers, so you just have to select them in the popup list that
appears at the bottom of the iTunes window and click play.(2)
Enjoy your playlists, set iTunes to shuffle through your entire library
or repeat your favorite songs over and over again — however you like to
enjoy your music on iTunes, you can now enjoy it that way through your
stereo speakers, wherever they’re located in your house.
Buy more than one AirPort Express Base Station and connect one to
every stereo or set of powered speakers in your house — one to your
stereo in your living room and another to a pair of powered speakers in
your kitchen, for example. Its small size and affordability make it
perfect for having more than one. Imagine being able to play your
iTunes music on whichever speakers in your house you prefer — or all at
once.
