The iKontrol app from Knoll Systems is designed to complement the Kommand Series communications products.

The app, which is available for download in the iTunes App Store, uses Wi-Fi to control Knoll's Kommand Series, as well as solutions from Control4, Vantage, Crestron, AMX and others.

Knoll says installers can customize the interface via its Kommand Center GUI Builder.

Knoll also recommends electronics professionals use the app in tandem with its Kommand Center Expert or Kommand Center Pro controller hubs to complete the end user interface experience.

Meridian has received a lot of praise for its Sooloos solution because of its combination of audio quality and user functionality and its latest updates to the product line should enhance these qualities.

The new 2.1 update debuted at CES 2010 improves on the system's ability to integrate with a Crestron control system, while adding Apple iPhone control capabilities, streamlined configuration options, zone-link synchronization, and the addition of the Rhapsody service and Internet radio.

Meridian has also increased the interoperability of its Sooloos media system by adding modular card options that enable installers to integrate a Sooloos system with the company's flagship 800 solutions. The new ID40 Sooloos integration card is standard with the company's new 808v3 CD player and an add-on option for its 861v6 A/V controller.
