CasaTools Introduces Advanced CasaTunes Keypads

Completes CasaTools Multi-Room Audio Experience
FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
CasaTools, a leader in whole house audio systems, today announced the immediate
availability of its CasaTunes Keypads. Specially designed to work with the
CasaTunes XLi, the CasaTunes XLe, and the CasaTunes XL Music Server, the
CasaTunes in-wall LCD Keypads completes the CasaTunes whole house audio system.
The CasaTunes Keypad provides users an additional option to control their music
from any room in the home.

"The CasaTunes Keypads offer incredible functionality and value. Using our
Keypads, users have full control over their music collections, as well as
SHOUTcast Internet Radio. Best of all, the CasaTunes Keypad is extremely simple
to setup, install and use," said David Krinker, President, CasaTools. "It not
only supports CasaTunes existing hardware line of home audio solutions, but it
also supports several third party systems, including those from Russound and
Nuvo Technologies."

The CasaTunes Keypad enables users to turn the music on or off, in one or more
rooms, and to specify a turn off delay, set the volume, switch between sources
of music, browse and select music from Windows, iTunes and iPod devices, as well
as browse and select SHOUTcast Internet Radio stations. Music can be selected by
album, genre, artist, or playlist. Further, the CasaTunes Keypad can configure
various equalization settings including the bass, treble, balance and loudness
compensation settings for each room.

The LCD screen is used to display the music source, song title, artist, album
and play back progress information for the current song that is playing. It can
also provide system feedback, such as whether this room has been setup as not be
disturbed (DND), whether the keypad is setup as a master for the current Zone
Group, whether the keypad is locked and does not accept key presses or whether
this room is scheduled to wake to music.

Up to six CasaTunes Keypads can be connected to each CasaTunes Keypad Hub, which
in turn connects to a USB port on the CasaTunes XL Music Server. The number of
keypads supported can easily be expanded by adding additional keypad hubs. The
keypads connect to the CasaTunes USB6 Keypad Hub using standard cat5 (or better)
cable and terminating each end using a standard RJ45 connector. Assignment of a
keypad to a specific room or Zone Group is accomplished using the keypad menus,
dramatically simplifying the installation process when compared to other
products.

The CasaTunes Keypad and CasaTunes USB6 Keypad Hub can be purchased individually
or as a bundle. The CasaTunes Keypad bundle has an MSRP of $999 and comes in a
package of 6 keypads and one CasaTunes USB6 Keypad Hub. The bundle is
immediately available through authorized dealers and from the CasaTools web site
www.casatunes.com. The CasaTunes Keypad fits into a standard single gang
electrical box or low-voltage frame and is available in almond, white, ivory and
black.
