Since 2007, Grace Digital has be producing industry-leading WIFI internet radios and other audio solutions with the vision “to provide the consumer with cost effective, advanced audio solutions that perform with elegance and grace.” The latest iteration of their popular Mondo internet radio adds Chromecast built-in making it the first device of its kind with this feature.
The Mondo+(Plus) isn’t your everyday, run-of-the-mill internet radio. Not only will you be able to cast directly to the Mondo+ but the Chromecast built-in allows users to control the device via a connected Google Home as well as group the internet radio with other cast-enabled devices for multi-room support.
In addition to its new casting abilities, the Mondo+ brings with it all the rich features found in the original Mondo radio.
The Mondo+, being no exception to the high-end audio line-up in all Grace Digital products, features MaxxAudio technology from Waves Inc. and a high-powered class D digital amplifier for room-filling sound. Equipped with a multi-functional USB port, the Mondo+ serves as a power bank for smart devices, or as an UPnP media player to listen to your saved audio files. Integrating Bluetooth 4.1 to function as a standard in-home speaker, the Mondo+ is anything but standard.

With access to over 30,000 free stations from around the world and the ability to add subscription services such as Sirius XM, Napster and more, Mondo+ could easily be your all-in-one audio device for your home or office.
The Mondo+ is currently up for pre-order for $179 on Grace Digital’s product page and shipments will start rolling out the first week of July. I’ll be getting my hands on one of these ASAP and look forward to sharing my experience with you.
