"We worked meticulously to embody precision, impeccable sound quality and innovative solutions in the new Wireless Collection," said Matt Lyons, SVP of wireless music system product development. "With our wireless audio system listeners do not need to compromise critical listening when they move to another area of their home. Instead, through purposeful design and intelligent technology, the wireless music system creates a symphony of sound wherever you are--letting you control your music on any audio product when you want to enjoy it."
The Wireless Collection transforms any area of the home--from the family room to the kitchen and the bedroom--into the ultimate listening room with its offering of beautifully designed modern and sophisticated audio offerings. Once the wireless music system is easily set up and connected to a Wi-Fi network, listeners are able to control all of their music from a phone, tablet or PC using Definitive Technology's dedicated Play-Fi app, compatible with Android and Apple iOS systems. Through the app, music aficionados can stream music from popular music services, including Pandora(®) and Spotify(®), countless Internet radio stations or a personal music collection while browsing and discovering new content. Additionally, with Play-Fi's open platform design, users are easily able to mix-and-match any Play-Fi-enabled audio product from any manufacturer on the same home network(1), providing them the freedom to grow and personalize their wireless home music setup any way they choose.
Features and price points of Definitive Technology's Wireless Collection include:
-- W7 Wireless Speaker ($399) - The W7 is Definitive Technology's
ultra-compact wireless speaker designed for the listener who is
unwilling to compromise on performance, even in smaller living spaces.
-- W9 Wireless Speaker ($699) - The W9 was built for audio aficionados
seeking the ultimate audio performance. Due to the additional
transducers and larger cabinet size, the W9 delivers exceptional dynamic
range and extraordinary bass response, even in larger rooms. The
"Tri-Polar" dispersion pattern sends sound in three directions for
exhilarating sound that fills the room.
-- W Studio Sound Bar with included Subwoofer ($1,299) - A wireless sound
bar with accompanying 8-inch wireless subwoofer blends high-performance
5.1 theater sound with high-resolution musical reproduction, ideal for
family rooms and home theaters. The sound bar's slim design--at only 3.5
inches deep--is complemented by its sleek, contemporary finish with
solid aluminum end caps and has HDMI switching for both audio and video
purposes. It also uses Definitive Technology's proprietary Spatial Array
technology that engulfs listeners in lifelike surround sound without the
clutter of five separate speakers. Lastly, the system is made even more
impactful due to the rich bass produced by the downward firing
subwoofer.
-- W Adapt ($399) - The W Adapt transforms existing audio systems to
include the latest music streaming services. The wireless adaptor
connects seamlessly with nearly any home theater receiver using the
latest digital and analog connections. Hookups include an auxiliary
input to connect to a Blu-ray and DVD player or cable/satellite box, as
well as digital outputs for connecting to a receiver and an optical
input for hooking up to a TV and other devices. Additionally W Adapt
comes with an accompanying rack-mount kit for pre-engineered rack
systems.
-- W Amp ($499) - The W Amp is a wireless streaming amplifier that delivers
an audiophile grade signal to your favorite loudspeaker with 150 watts
of power per channel. When paired with Definitive Technology
loudspeakers, the amplifier's EQ settings can be fully customized by
accessing its Utility App. Similar to the W Adapt, audio enthusiasts
will appreciate its included rack-mount kit for pre-engineered rack
systems, as well as its line level Subwoofer output, and Left and Right
channel line level inputs and outputs.
