Your Next-Generation Wireless Home Theater Sound System
Summit Wireless™ is a far cry from your father's home theater speaker system, with its tangle of speaker wires and hours of painstaking setup.
Wireless surround sound from Summit Wireless is a whole different ball game. And you'll enjoy your ball game a whole lot quicker, with Summit Wireless' out-of-the box, plug-in wireless speaker system. Any sports event -- or movie, concert or video game -- is more exciting with theater-quality wireless surround sound right in your living room.
Setting up a Summit Wireless home theater sound system couldn't be simpler: For most people, it takes less than 30 minutes. But the real joy of Summit Wireless is in the listening. Summit Wireless Surround Sound delivers digital sound to speakers exactly as it was mastered, without the hours of professional tweaking other surround sound systems require.
Summit Wireless Home Theater: High Fidelity Sound to Match Your High Definition Picture
You love your huge flat panel -- and so do your friends and family. Super Bowl Sunday is always at your place, and the Cub Scouts love piling into your living room for weekend movie night.
But until now, it's been a challenge to find a killer wireless surround sound system that lives up to the high-definition image quality you expect and demand. Some "wireless" home theater sound systems are only partially wireless -- they still force you to string cables across the back of the room. Others demand that you move each component here and there until you get the sound balance just right.
No one should need an engineering degree to get a great wireless home theater experience. And with Summit Wireless Surround Sound from Focus Enhancements, you won't need one.
The Pinnacle of Wireless Audio
Popular Science magazine proclaimed Summit Wireless Surround Sound "the best of what's new in 2009," placing it in company with innovations from Microsoft, Yahoo, Dolby and Panasonic.
"Focus Enhancements' new wireless technology delivers the pinnacle of wireless audio," says Popular Science, referring to Summit Wireless' uncompressed 7.1-channel surround sound.

Uncompromising, Uncompressed Home Theater Audio
Summit Wireless leverages the most recent advances in high fidelity wireless audio to eliminate the drawbacks of competitors' wireless audio systems: interference, static and dropped data.
- Summit Wireless supports 24-bit, 48-KHz wireless audio for unmatched audio fidelity. Other wireless audio systems compress sound to 16-bit data samples.
- Unlike other wireless audio systems, Summit Wireless uses Forward Error Correction to mitigate any data loss. No lip-synch problems, no gaming glitches!
- Summit Wireless audio uses the new 5GHz U-NII band spectrum, offering 23 non-overlapping channels. Other wireless audio systems use the 2.4 GHz wireless spectrum, competing with microwave ovens, Wi-Fi access points and cordless phones.
- Summit Wireless audio transmits at the lowest possible level, making a Summit wireless home theater sound system a good neighbor with any nearby device operating in the same spectrum. Other wireless audio systems continually transmit at the highest permitted power level, interfering with other devices in the home.
