Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom AxiomAir

I should clarify the Ethernet jack...the pre-amp module still has WiFi capability, but because this is a component that will sit on your equipment stand, you might wish to use an available LAN connection instead.

Hi Matt,

Let me clarify this for you. The price on Kickstarter now is USD $497. That works out to CDN $633.55 at today’s exchange rate. If you paid the USD $475 amount it works out to CDN $605.50. Since we are including the sales tax that makes it CDN $535.84 in Ontario and CDN $576.67 in Alberta. Kickstarter will charge your credit card on July 12.

Once Kickstarter ends we will continue to offer pre-purchase discounts on the AxiomAir that increase each week until we are at USD $799 around mid-September. The lowest we would likely start would be USD $517. and CDN $605. This would make the tax included price CDN $683.65 in Ontario and CDN $635.25 in Alberta. This means that it was still worthwhile to have purchased on Kickstarter no matter your location.

Andrew - just a bump on these questions prior to the closing:

How about getting rid of the power switch and one USB port and giving us a subwoofer out instead? I know the light is important to Mark :-).

Matt, you will be very sorry if we all have one and you don't.

When we all say things like "Oh whoa! This AA is so awesome. And its sub out is so smooth and TIGHT!", you won't have a clue what we're talking about.

You'll be so left behind because our AAs will be totally portable and your LFRs won't be.

Thanks, Mark. I never did get high fives for the EP800 :-).

By the way, are you missing thumbs on both hands?

On the pre-amp only, you will still be able to control the volume from the smart phone app, correct?

+1 for the sub out.

Hi Nathan,

- If I group the AxiomAirs will they then appear as one DLNA/UPnP device on the network and handle in sync playback between themselves?

I'm waiting on an answer from our programmer to confirm this, but I believe that it will work as you have described.

- If I group the AxiomAirs will they then appear as one Airplay device on the network and handle in sync playback between themselves?

An AirPlay stream cannot be broadcast to other AxiomAirs. We'd love to include this capability, but Apple forbids it.

- Is there a Line Level or headphone out (so I can occasionally feed a PA system from one of the AA)

No, just a summed-mono subwoofer line level output.

- I understand the Airplay quality limits, but do you support 24/192 bit over DLNA/UPnP ?

24/192 works fine over UPnP. I have tesed this both from Android devices using BubbleUPnP and from a PC running Foobar.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Mojo,

A subwoofer output on the pre-amp module would not work. If we offered one the volume level of your sub would not change when you changed the volume on your pre-amp/processor/receiver. I would just drive the sub from either line level outputs of speaker outputs on your system.

Thanks,

Andrew

Yes, the software volume control still works from either your remote devices or our web interface.
