Monster News — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:09:35 GMT

After months of waiting and wondering if it would ever see the light of day, Monster Cable has finally begun shipping their all new iSoniCast iPod Wireless Audio Bridge . The bridge utilizes a two-piece transmitter and receiver design to wirelessly connect your iPod to your home stereo system. With the iSoniCast, the iPod itself becomes the remote control, foregoing the need to fire up a TV or use a separate remote, giving you the ease of use you've come to expect from your iPod. It's also said to be battery friendly with its low power consumption design. As with any Monster accessory, special attention has been given to sound quality. The iSoniCast features "proprietary" 2.4GHz wireless technology with intelligent frequency hopping designed for extended range, great sound quality, and minimal interference. It will set you back $99, but freeing your iPod from FM transmitters and adapter cables will be worth every penny to those who want the ultimate mobility and flexibility for home stereo playback.
