“As WiSA Technologies launches its new WiSA E technology
offerings, it is critical that we provide an app that can be ported
to our customers’ operating systems,” said Brett Moyer, CEO of WiSA
Technologies. “Embedding our core multichannel wireless audio
technology along with our new app is the next step in expanding
WiSA’s penetration of smart TVs and soundbars.”
The app focuses on two key user tasks:
- Set up and configuration: The WiSA app leads new users
through the system set up process, making the out-of-box experience
simple and straightforward. Embedded help windows throughout the
process give informative tips to new users.
- User operation and customization: MyAudio is the primary
feature of the app, giving users full control of their audio
settings, including:
- Multiple content-specific presets for different audio modes,
such as movies, music, or using the system at night.
- Intuitive EQ controls.
- Ability to turn on/off Virtual Dolby Atmos and bass
management.
- Ability to save customized control settings into presets that
store individual listening preferences.
Additional app functionality includes individual control of each
speaker’s amplitude with the Speaker Trim screen, as well as the
ability to reconfigure a user’s speaker setup on the app’s MyZone
screen. The WiSA app is designed to work with a variety of common
speaker configurations, including the latest 5.1.2 bundle by Platin
Audio, which includes Dolby Atmos up-firing speakers.
“WiSA users want a simple and intuitive way to manage and
customize their multichannel wireless audio systems,” said Tony
Ostrom, President of the WiSA Association. “The WiSA app
streamlines system set up for new SoundSend users and includes
flexible and intuitive audio controls, allowing users to optimize
their immersive sound system for their ears and home entertainment
setups.”
The new WiSA app is free and available for download in the
Google Play store. An iOS version will be available in
mid-December.
