The Maestro
Central processor that connects multiple devices and distributes audio on separate channels to personal seat controllers
The Coachsound Maestro allows you to plug in multiple devices such as an iPad, CD's, DVD's into a central unit which are then distributed to individual audio seat controllers for the passenger to select the channel and volume. The system has dual microphone inputs.
With all audio systems connected, your passengers will have a choice of personal entertainment, not just what happens to be playing at the time through the existing coach speakers.
You also have the ability to interrupt all audio channels with the drivers microphone to announce important information.
Currently it is being used on both short and long-haul journeys.
