NuVo’s new Music Port Server (NV-MPS4) and Color Touch Pad (NV-CTP36) are now available. While the Music Port Server is compatible with the Essentia system, the Color Touch Pad is not.

The Music Port Server merges PC-based audio content (from Windows Media Player and iTunes) from a home’s network, and merges it into a comprehensive music library by storing all the files onto a 320GB internal hard-drive. The Music Port Server also has the ability to access songs from other sources such as Sirius/XM radio, Pandora, and RadioTime.  It has four audio outputs that can serve up to four sources in a NuVo Grand Concerto, Essentia, or Renovia multi-room audio system.

NuVo’s Color Touch Pad is a 3.6” full-color LCD touch display that gives its user the ability to access music by browsing through artist, title, album, playlist, or genre. The album art is displayed on the Color Touch Pad, and it features a rating system to give listeners an option to rate their own personal music channels.
The Music Port Server and Color Touch Pad are listed at a suggested retail price of $2,499 and $999. They will be available early February.
