Meet the Amico
Now you can take your musical concierge with you on your deck, in the garage, by a pool, in a park, camping, on a boat…just about anywhere. If WiFi isn’t available you can still take advantage of Amico’s FM tuner, DAB/DAB+ (in Europe), wireless Bluetooth streaming with Qualcomm’s aptX for audio, and the USB and auxiliary input. Designed by Como Audio founder and audio legend Tom DeVesto, its striking appearance, real teak wood veneer, and high fidelity sound instantly sets it apart from all other portable music systems on the market. The included 2200 mA rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides an average 8 hours of continuous playback on a full charge, enough for most outdoor events. The convenient carry “handle” is cleverly disguised as the rear bass port. Not the outdoors type? Amico’s portability means you can easily move it about your home from room to room wherever you decide you want your music at that moment. And since it is made by Como Audio, it will work with the existing free Como Control iOS and Android apps, other Como Audio music systems in your home, and indeed other Amicos. When you want your music to go, think Amico!
Whole House Control
Place our models in different rooms, download our free App, and you’ll soon be enjoying music throughout your home. Control your music anywhere, from anywhere. Play different sources in any room or sync all the rooms together to play the same thing. It’s multi-room on your terms.
App
The free Como Control App for iOS and Android converts your smart device into a wireless, touch screen controller for your Solo or Duetto. Let your fingers do the walking and access functions like power, volume, tuning, presets, sources, EQ, play/pause, view Internet station logos and Spotify album art, see meta data, and coordinate multi-room sound (if you have multiple models throughout your home).
Remote
We recognize there may be times when a dedicated remote can come in handy, so we include one with every Como Audio music system. Duplicating many of the front panel functions and offering a few new ones, the remote provides control for power, volume, mute, ‘now playing’ information, source selection, setting alarms, menu access, tuning, play/pause/track control, and even turning the backlight off in standby.
Stereo System
Looking for a stereo option? Combine Amico with an Amica companion speaker and create a portable, high-fidelity music system with true stereo separation.
