ROON ANNOUNCES OVER FORTY NEW PARTNER DEVICES AND NEW ONLINE STORE
Roon, the music management, discovery and streaming platform, has announced over forty new audio devices that have achieved Roon Ready or Roon Tested status in 2022 and has also introduced its official online store.
NEW ROON READY & ROON TESTED DEVICES
In the first quarter of 2022, Roon has welcomed over forty new Roon Ready and Roon Tested devices from over twenty audio brands, including Arcam, Astell & Kern, Cyrus, McIntosh, NAD, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sonus Faber and more.
New devices that are Roon Ready include the recently-launched Sonus faber Omnia all-in-one wireless speaker, the NAD C399 integrated amplifier with DAC, Dutch & Dutch 8c speakers that have their origins in mixing and mastering studios around the world, and the McIntosh RS150 and RS250 wireless speaker systems.
New Roon Tested devices include the Audiolab Omnia all-in-one system with an integrated CD player, three amplifiers from Cyrus’s new XR series, and 11 A/V receivers in total from Onkyo, Pioneer and Integra, all of which feature Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1 and Dirac Live room correction.
THE ROON STORE
Roon has also introduced the Roon Store: a “hyper-curated” online store dedicated to showcasing the best audio products that work with Roon. Every audio product that achieves Roon Ready or Roon Tested certification goes through hours of rigorous testing and is used daily by the Roon team, who have become experts in the products that work best with Roon.
“Over time, we’ve received more and more questions from users about which products have this or that feature, which would be better for a bedroom vs a patio, or which offers the best value at a particular price point. All that interest has inspired us to think about how to provide a new service for Roon users,” said Roon founder and CEO, Enno Vandermeer. “Shopping for audio gear online isn’t especially easy or fun, so we decided to do for the audio shopping experience what Roon itself did for music browsing and discovery.”
The Roon Store launched with a limited selection of products in a single category: the all-in-one Roon Ready speaker, featuring models from Bluesound, Devialet and Dutch & Dutch – with more coming soon. You can also buy Roon’s own Nucleus and Nucleus Plus music servers from the store.
