Crestron, the leader in control and automation solutions for over 40 years, delivers the first all-in-one solution for audio streaming. The CEN-NSP-1 Network Stream Player gives listeners the only no-compromises solutions for enjoying their favorite iTunes® and Internet music anywhere in the home.

Crestron gives each member of the family complete audio freedom with our new CEN-NSP-1 Network Stream Player. Easy to install and integrate, the player gives listeners the freedom to enjoy their favorite Internet music stations, such as SiriusXM^®, vTuner^®, and Spotify^® without a web-enabled device plus provides both wired and wireless options for streaming music from iPod^®, iPhone^®, or iPad^® to a Crestron audio distribution system.

Thanks to native streaming capabilities, the CEN-NSP-1 can access popular Internet radio services without relying on a phone, tablet or laptop. Using a Crestron touch screen or mobile app, homeowners can quickly browse multiple radio services to find their favorite music, news, talk or sports. Listeners don’t have to tie up their devices or drain the battery to enjoy Internet music—and the tunes don’t stop every time the phone rings!  

Listeners can use AirPlay^® to wirelessly stream music from their Apple^® device to any room or every room in the house.  Alternatively, devices can be connected to the CEN-NSP-1 via USB using any Apple dock and/or cable. Wired connectivity opens up a world of possibilities with Crestron control and Apple services, including seamless integration with iCloud^® and iTunes Match^®.

Benefits to the Homeowner

Now everyone in the home has instant access to all their iTunes^® and Internet music while controlling the listening experience with a Crestron app or touch screen. With the Crestron CEN-NSP-1 Network Stream Player, homeowners get the all-in-one streaming solution they’ve been waiting for in a compact, budget-friendly package – without having to use their own mobile devices, which quickly drains the battery and interrupts the music whenever a call or text is received. Plus, they can enjoy access to the many streaming music services and playlists from Crestron touch screens throughout the house.

Benefits to the Integrator
The compact Creston CEN-NSP-1 Network Stream Player simplifies integration with multi-zone audio systems such as Sonnex®. It significantly reduces the hardware, installation, and configuration required by earlier solutions—say goodbye to tuner cards! And with stereo and S/PDIF outputs, it supports both digital and analog audio interconnection. Position multiple units throughout the home to provide a modular, scalable solution with independently controlled outputs—to accommodate every listener.

One great application is an iPod® touch connected to each CEN-NSP-1 in the rack, syncing to iCloud via Wi-Fi®. Now, each member of the family has their own music server that updates automatically, and their other iOS® devices are free for personal use while listening to iTunes® music. Since the content is on the wired device in the rack, clients don’t have to carry around their personal device if they don’t want to, and the music never “drops out” due to inconsistent Wi-Fi connectivity or when the phone rings.
