Multi-room listening with the new Sony iPod Dock - Sony AIR-SA20PK

We are looking forward to getting our hands on this new iPod Dock from Sony to do some serious testing of this multi-room iPod music system from Sony, also know as the Sony AIR-SA20PK.

The new Sony S-Airplay AIR-SA20PK is their latest entry into the popular wireless multi room audio systems that are hitting the market with force these days. Once you dock your iPod into this Sony system you can listen to music up to 164 feet away through the S-Air’s two portable speakers.  Unlike the Griffin Evolve wireless iPod Dock, these speakers require to be plugged into an outlet for power, while the Griffin Evolve actually runs on chargeable batteries that is recharged when you dock the speakers with the rest of the unit, which is a great feature.

One of the potential great features of the Sony S-Airplay however is the opportunity to actually add up to 10 speakers to the unit for a true multi-room experience. The other great feature is that it also includes AM/FM tuner and it allows you to listen to both your iPod and the radio at the same time, most likely in two different rooms though!

Other features to notice with the Sony AIR-SA20PK is that it allows you to connect it up with your home entertainment system and TV as well through its composite A/V outputs.

The Sony S-Airplay iPod dock is expected to hit the market around September time and likely to retail at$400 in the US (no information on the UK yet).
