OCTAVIO STREAM COMPACT STREAMER FROM FRANCE WITH MULTIROOM CAPABILITIES

Octavio says that their products are designed for audiophiles and music lovers, but also for bars, hotels and restaurants.

Octavio Stream has been designed to “modernise classic audio systems, so they feature today’s best audio technologies” to allow users to easily distribute their music at home.

The new compact Octavio Stream adds streaming to your vintage HiFi

FRENCH DESIGN

Compatible with most streaming services, the devices have a multiroom mode, allowing synchronized listening on several Octavio devices simultaneously. Born in 2019, Octavio products are designed and assembled in France. The company started because the founding team of David and Victor had quality and vintage audio systems that they appreciated and loved, but which were not compatible with their way of enjoying music from streaming services. They wanted to add the convenience and possibilities that modern streaming gives, without losing their treasured HiFi.

OCTAVIO STREAM

Whether you want to integrate connected devices into your hotel common areas, create a different atmosphere in each of your rooms through simplified remote control, allow your customers to have a personal listening experience in their private rooms, or simply add streaming to your home HiFi system, Octavio Stream connects to active speakers, an amplifier, or an external DAC. You can also connect the Octavio Amp (699€) to amplify your speakers.

Up to twelve Octavio devices can be grouped together from the mobile app to play the same music on multiple devices in each of your areas.

The Octavio Stream has potential in hospitality areas like hotels and restaurants
