New Products Coming; Where to Buy

New HD Radio receiver products will hit retailer shelves just in time for holiday gift-giving, IBOC proponents say. In addition to Cambridge SoundWorks’ new tabletop and component models, new units include Sangean HDR-1 and HDT-1 HD, Radiosophy Multistream, Onyko and Denon units and Kenwood’s automotive HD radio converter.
New automotive converters were recently showcased at SEMA. These plug-in and dockable units can enable nearly any automotive radio — including satellite radio — to decode HD-R signals.
Converters will be in retailers, car dealerships and dealer groups by Q1 2007. These devices are manufactured by Directed, Dice, Metra, AAMP/Peripheral and Visteon.
