NuVo’s wireless audio distribution system just keeps getting better and better. CE Pro reported yesterday that NuVo’s wireless audio system now features Audyssey Lab’s Dynamic Volume technology. 

Here’s the Story: Who says wireless audio can’t be high quality? NuVo Technologies is taking steps to ensure that by incorporating Audyssey Lab’s Dynamic Volume technology into its new Wireless Audio System.

Accessible through NuVo’s system control app, Audyssey’s Dynamic Volume control can be set to trim the highest and lowest decibels of an audio sample to meet a comfortable or desired listening range, according to the company.

“The simple truth is volume fluctuates even without touching a button,” says NuVo’s Vice President and General Manager, David Rodarte. “There are second-to-second differences in many musical arrangements that enhance the experience. But these can also be disruptive, depending on the listening environment. Audyssey’s Dynamic Volume enables us to put users in control of these situations, provides them with the ability to make adjustments, and delivers a superior listening experience.”
