Audioholics: Summit Wireless Technology Delivers Uncompromised Wireless HD Audio

2010-07-26T23:23:12Z

Summit wireless technology has the potential to deliver where other wireless audio solutions have failed. It can be installed in less than 30 minutes and generates interference-free, low latency, uncompressed HD quality audio that today's A/V systems are capable of decoding. It acoustically, maps the speaker's location and automatically determines how many speakers are present and assigns the correct audio channel on system power up. Audio is presented in a coherent sound field that is time aligned to the exact listener's position. Summit seems ideally suited for the retrofit and retail markets opening the door for new business models while taking home theater experience to a new level.

Home Theater: Even Easier Than Not Running Any Wires

2010-01-14T19:16:42Z

Summit Wireless is coming closer to bringing their super-easy, super-robust, super-sounding wireless technology to the market. In addition to being able to deliver uncompressed 24-bit 48 kHz audio wirelessly without interference or dropouts, the system can handle up to 7.1 channels of audio. Ease of setup is also part of Summit Wireless's technology. Pressing one button on the remote control allows the equipment to automatically determine the position of all the speakers in relation to the holder of the remote. The system uses that info to set delays and output levels. The demos I heard at CEDIA were extremely impressive, and the latest round of demonstrations Summit Wireless did for me here at CES were even more engaging.

Popular Science Magazine Selects Summit Wireless for 2009 Best of What's New Award in the Home Entertainment Category

2009-11-12T13:00:00Z

The Award Acknowledges the Significant Step Forward in Providing Consumers with the Industry's Only 7.1 Wireless Surround Sound Solution with 3D Audio Mapping Technology

Campbell, CA - November 12, 2009 -- Focus Enhancements, Inc., a leading supplier of wireless audio technology, wins the prestigious 2009 Best of What's New Award for its Summit Wireless technology; an audio IC and wireless hub which sets a new standard for wireless home theater audio fidelity, ease of set-up, and sweet spot designation. Summit can be integrated into speakers, audio/video receivers, digital televisions, gaming devices, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes, enabling them to broadcast high-definition surround wirelessly and simply. It is the first and only wireless 7.1 surround solution of its kind.

Today's wired speaker Home Theater systems are laborious and complicated to set-up and optimize. They require stringing speaker wire, connecting speakers to the correct audio channel, and verifying correct polarities. Audio sound optimization requires hours to properly calibrate and is often beyond a consumer's comfort level. This complexity is one major reason systems are rarely set-up properly, resulting in inferior audio quality. Summit Wireless' patent pending technology solves these issues with an elegant solution that makes the out-of box experience of setting-up a wireless Home Theater audio speaker system fast and easy.

Summit's SpeakerFinder™ integrates tried and true ultrasonic technology used in distance measuring devices that is instant, accurate, and cost effective to discover each speaker's location to an accuracy of within one inch. Combined with Summit's robust wireless technology, users simply plug in the amplified speakers like a lamp, and on power-up, the speakers are automatically optimized for the correct audio channel, phase delay, volume and default sweet spot. MyZone™, with 3D audio mapping technology, extends the ultrasonic location technology of SpeakerFinder by embedding an ultrasonic transducer in the remote control device. With a press of a button, the users' location is found, and the audio sweet spot is moved to that location by adjusting each speaker's volume and delay, creating a cohesive sound field.

Summit Wireless delivers 8 channels of uncompressed 24-bit resolution audio, from the source to the speakers, for a dynamic and realistic listening experience. Summit improves the low and high frequencies for smooth, clean, neutral, flat and dynamic sound, providing superior audio fidelity for every situation. Summit achieves the goal of providing the best audio reproduction, delivering the audio exactly as it was mastered, to the speakers.

"It is gratifying to receive recognition for the technological breakthroughs achieved by Summit Wireless' ability to solve critical issues which have plagued the Home Theater and wireless audio industry for years," said Tony Parker, vice president of marketing, Focus Enhancements. "Consumers have been pleading for a wireless solution that would deliver high fidelity audio, comparable to their hardwired system; Summit Wireless exceeds their expectations."
