The first product developed under the agreement, the XM-3000 multizone satellite receiver will enable listeners to receive up to three different XM Radio channels and distribute them to different rooms, or zones, simultaneously.
To accomplish this, the XM-3000 receives XM programming via a single antenna. This input is split internally into three tuner modules, each containing the complete XM programming lineup.
Users will have three ways to control each of the three tuners: Directly through the buttons on the front panel; via an infrared wireless remote control (included; or through wired or wireless controllers located throughout house. Individual subscriptions are required for each of the three tuners.
Phil Whitworth, XM Director of Product Marketing said, "The XM-3000 is a strong response to the growing consumer demand for XM service throughout the home and provides an excellent platform for delivering XM into a variety of listening spaces."
