Sonance iPort for iPod

today introduced the Sonance iPort, an in-wall docking station for the iPod that integrates the player seamlessly into any multi-room audio system as a source component. Compatible with Sonance's full line of IR control systems, amplifiers and accessories, the iPort turns any room into an iPod concert hall. "It's a great solution for existing multi-room systems as well as for new installations. In one room, or in every room in the house, just walk over to the iPort, drop in your iPod and your entire music library is now part of your home audio system."

The iPort, which will begin shipping before the end of the year, will come
in two versions: one that can be installed in any wall location and connected
locally or to the main audio system, and a rack-mountable version to integrate
the iPod within an audio equipment rack. Additionally, the company has said
the iPort will include parts to accommodate all iPod models, as well as
connections for power, control and audio output. Pricing for the docking
station and accessories will be announced at later date.
