Delivers Immersive Sound to WiSA
Ready LG TVs, Xbox and Windows 10 Gaming PCs with
the Axiim Link
WiSA® LLC, the Wireless Speaker and Audio Association comprised
of leading consumer electronics brands founded by Summit Wireless
Technologies (NASDAQ: WISA), announces the certification of
Klipsch® Reference Wireless speakers from Klipsch Group, a wholly
owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ:
VOXX).
Available in June 2019, this exciting new line of Klipsch
loudspeakers was awarded “Best of CES” from Digital Trends, AVS
Forum, and Hi-Def Digest at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019.
Klipsch’s new Reference Wireless speakers work flawlessly with any
WiSA Certified and WiSA Ready* products, including the new 2019
WiSA Ready LG OLED and Nano Cell (Super UHD) TVs.
The Klipsch Reference Wireless line includes the RW-34C center
channel speaker ($499 U.S. MSRP), the RW-51M front and rear
monitors ($699/pair U.S. MSRP), and the RW-100SW wireless subwoofer
($499 U.S. MSRP). These speakers can be mixed and matched to create
powerful audio systems in any configuration from stereo (2.0) to a
big and bold 7.1 theater experience. The Reference Wireless
speakers also work with any WiSA Certified or WiSA Ready source
connected to a WiSA Certified USB Transmitter, such as the Axiim
Link.
“After a positive reception at this year’s CES, the Klipsch team
is very excited to launch our new Reference Wireless line in 2019,”
said Vlad Grodzinskiy, product manager for Klipsch. “Our Reference
Wireless speakers are designed for people that want the simplicity
of a sound bar and high-performance multi-channel capable audio.
They will be an ideal complement to the growing number of WiSA
Ready platforms, which includes LG TVs, Xboxes, and computers.”
All WiSA Certified and WiSA Ready components work together
seamlessly to deliver wireless, multi-channel audio and authentic
movie theater sound that immerses the listener into the middle of
movies and video, music, sports, gaming/esports and more. As a
result, consumers can expect an audiophile experience, but unlike
traditional audio systems, set up is simple and takes just minutes
even for larger 5.1 and 7.1 setups. LG OLED and Nano Cell
televisions simplify the setup process. After plugging Klipsch
Reference Wireless speakers into power outlets, the TV will detect
and setup the home theater directly from the WiSA Ready big screen
and connected WiSA USB Transmitter.
“We’re thrilled for Klipsch’s powerhouse, wireless speaker
system to hit the market this year,” said Tony Ostrom, president of
WiSA. “The WiSA Association is seeing tremendous excitement around
WiSA Ready platforms hitting the market in 2019. The Reference
Wireless WiSA Certified speakers from Klipsch are an incredible
sounding solution at a compelling price point that exemplifies how
WiSA is changing and simplifying the way passionate listeners
experience home entertainment.”
The WiSA Association and its members are committed to
revolutionizing the home entertainment experience by
delivering immersive, uncompressed, high-definition,
multichannel sound through the universal standards established
and certified by the WiSA Association.
