SAN JOSE, CA (October 28, 2019) – WiSA® LLC, the Wireless
Speaker and Audio Association, comprised of over 60 leading
consumer electronics brands, and founded by Summit Wireless
Technologies (NASDAQ: WISA), today announced the nationwide retail
launch and in-store demonstration of WiSA Ready™* and WiSA
Certified™ solutions from LG Electronics, Klipsch and Axiim via a
point-of-sale promotion at nearly 300 Best Buy locations and select
Best Buy/Magnolia Home Theater stores across the country. A full
list of retail locations where WiSA solutions are available for
purchase can be found here.
The promotion includes a hands-on point-of-sale display where
shoppers can experience first-hand, best-in-class, high resolution
wireless sound featuring WiSA Ready LG OLED and NanoCell 4K and 8K
TVs, WiSA Certified™ Klipsch® Reference Wireless speakers and the
Axiim LINK USB Wireless Audio Transmitter—all designed to the WiSA
wireless audio standard. These products are fully interoperable and
create amazing home entertainment systems for consumers to enjoy
immersive music, movies/TV, games/esports, streaming content, and
more.
LG’s 2019 OLED and NanoCell 4K and 8K TVs lead the industry as
the first screens to embrace the WiSA Ready standard and make
creating 2.0 and 5.1 audio systems easier than ever before by
quickly connecting to WiSA Certified wireless USB transmitters and
any WiSA Certified speakers. “Best Buy consumers will now enjoy the
tremendous benefits of truly immersive, wireless sound that
complements all kinds of big screen home entertainment from movies
and video to games, esports, and more,” noted Tim Alessi, senior
director, product marketing at LG Electronics USA.
The award winning Klipsch Reference Wireless speaker line is
comprised of the RW-34C center channel speaker ($574/each U.S.
MSRP), the RW-51M front and rear speakers ($799/pair U.S. MSRP),
and the RW-100SW wireless subwoofer ($689/each 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 to completely immerse listeners in powerful,
detailed sound requiring no speaker wires and complicated receiver
setup. “By combining our WiSA Certified Reference Wireless speaker
line with additional WiSA products, the simplicity of a sound bar
and high-performance multi-channel capable audio has become a
reality for Best Buy customers and beyond,” added Rob Standley,
vice president of marketing and product development at Klipsch.
Tying these great products together is the Axiim LINK USB
Wireless Audio Transmitter ($229 U.S. MSRP). LINK works with all
WiSA Certified speakers and is the world’s first and only
multi-channel wireless USB device for 2019 LG OLED and NanoCell 4K
and 8K TVs, and is designed for Xbox One and Windows 10. The LINK
mobile application offers advanced control of the system, including
bass management, channel audio level control, equalization, and
more. “Axiim LINK transmitter allows users to take full advantage
of their audio experience,” said James Hammer, CEO at Axiim. “This
deployment with LG, Klipsch and WiSA is truly enabling the future
of immersive wireless sound.”
“WiSA and its premium partners are providing the first high
resolution, truly wireless solution for mainstream home
entertainment, and we’re excited to see it offered in Best Buy
stores across the nation,” stated Tony Ostrom, president of WiSA.
“Best Buy/Magnolia Home Theater customers demand superior
performance with consumer-friendly solutions at aggressive price
points, and this family of WiSA Ready and WiSA Certified products
delivers.”
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, setup is simple and takes just minutes,
even for larger 5.1 and 7.1 setups.
