Acoustic Energy introduces the AE Wi-Fi Internet radio

The AE Wi-Fi radio gives you unlimited access to radio content from anywhere in the home at the touch of a button. It offers unrivalled choice, unrivalled sound quality and a host of features that other radio technologies can only dream of.

Versatile Sound

Using twin AE Wi-Fi drivers in a ported compact cabinet the radio provides excellent clarity particularly on high bit rate stations.

Future Proof

Internet radio is developing rapidly and so too are the services that internet radio stations provide. The AE Wi-Fi radio has a future-proof design that can be updated over air at anytime. From the basic live and listen again radio functions today the radio will in the future offer fully interactive services such as the ability to enter competitions, join in radio station polls and respond to adverts and offers.

How the AE Wi-Fi radio works

Plug and play simplicity

The AE Wi-Fi internet radio could not be simpler to use. There is no software to load, no complex set-up operations and no need to be a PC expert. Simply plug it into the mains power and turn on!

The AE Wi-Fi radio automatically links into your existing Wi-Fi network (with WEP encryption if enabled) and uses your broadband connection to access the internet radio gateway. The gateway then uploads channel listings alphabetically by country and genre to your AE Wi-Fi radio fully automatically. You simply choose the station name you want using the rotary control knob and LCD display, and press select - as simple as that.

There are currently over 2,500 stations registered on the gateway from over 100 countries worldwide and more are added every day.
