SpeakerCraft MODE Free Keypad
Mode, the Music on Demand Experience, has quickly become the heart of one of the fastest selling multi-room control systems in the industry. Literally tens of thousands of MODE have been installed around the world. Both dealers and homeowners are thrilled with its simplicity of operation and ease of programming.
The only limitations have been the need to hard wire the unit and mount it in the wall. Now, all that has changed. Announcing, the MODE Free.
Imagine a MODE keypad that rests in your hand, sits on a table top dock, or simply remains in its wall docking station. Now metadata from your iPod®, MODE Jukebox, AM FM, or satellite radio are displayed in a wireless unit you can carry throughout the house. At the same time you have complete control of your system from an easy chair, on the couch or lying in bed. When freed from the wall or coffee table all of the MODE’s features are still available as well as the ability to control any zone in the house simply by selecting it. And, yes, one MODE Free can be used in multiple rooms. A proven wireless system assures no glitch, problem free operation throughout even the largest installations.
No coffee table? No problem. The MODE Free can be conveniently docked into a wall docking station. When docked it looks and functions just like its hard wired companions but remains ready to be freed.All the power of the MODE/MZC system in the palm of your hand. Just another step in the right direction. Are you ready for the future? MODE Free will take you there.
Buying from an authorized dealer has many benefits such as valid warranty coverage on your purchase and peace of mind.

About SpeakerCraft
SpeakerCraft started in 1976 as an audio retailer. Along the way we became a custom installation company, installing multi-room audio systems. SpeakerCraft is now one of the world's leading manufacturer of custom installation products, and their background as a custom installer and retailer has provided pretty good idea of what it is you want from a manufacturer. Their goal is to develop innovative designs utilizing some of the most state-of-the-art components and materials. Those efforts have earned many industry awards for products that break tradition and go a step forward to bring you tomorrow's technology today. For instance, SpeakerCraft was the first to invent in-wall speaker installation systems that do not require installing brackets in the wall first. They have improved the in-ceiling round speaker by inventing a method to greatly improve the high frequency response with a device called the WavePlane. First to produce pivoting tweeters and on some models the whole speaker pivots while still remaining flush with the ceiling. These innovations eliminate the placement concerns of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. With SpeakerCraft speakers you now can enjoy your beautiful interiors without sacrificing sound or quality and with the comfort of knowing that those speakers carry a lifetime warranty.
