Audiovox's Acoustic Research is releasing a system that will convert any 5.1 system into a wireless surround array. The company aims to market the device to those consumers that are frustrated by running wires to a receiver. The Acoustic Research W51 uses point-to-multipoint technology.
The diversity antennas of the receivers help eliminate multi-path fading, blocking of the signal by temporary objects. The wireless system will on transmit 16-bit CD audio, so the high-resolution audio formats are out of the question. The technology also handles avoidance of any potential interference (i.e.: cordless phones, 802.11 wireless networks and microwaves. The wireless system also provides digital amps at 50-Watts per channel. The MSRP is $699.99. |
