Kaleidescape Introduces “Affordable” Mini System

kaleidescape_0509Kaleidescape recently announced the availability of the Kaleidescape Mini System, which is the first Kaleidescape product to integrate a complete multi-zone Kaleidescape system into a single component, and the first to include a remote control. It is priced about 40 percent less than the regular Kaleidescape system.

The base Mini System stores up to 75 DVDs or 825 CDs, and can be expanded up to 225 DVDs or 2500 CDs by adding disk cartridges, and it scales and outputs DVDs in 1080p. The base system also includes two independent music zones. It is shipped configured as a free-standing component, but can be adapted for rack-mounting with the included kit.

The Mini System can be expanded by adding players, servers, and other Mini Systems can be added on so your client can access their collection of movies and music in other rooms of the house.

Suggested retail pricing is $7,995 for the base system. Prices (now reduced) on the 1080p Player, the 1080p Mini Player, and Disk Cartridges for the servers are $2,995, $1995 and $995 respectively. This is still way too expensive in our opinion, but with Kaleidescape, you are really paying for the user interface.
