The next-generation home theater speaker system
Yesterday's home theater speaker system was a complicated mess of speaker wire and hours of painstaking set up. Summit Wireless(tm) is different: an out-of-the box, plug-in wireless 3D audio system that enables high fidelity, theater-quality listening in the home.
Setting up a Summit Wireless-enabled home theater speaker system couldn't be simpler: for most people, it takes less than 30 minutes. But the real joy of Summit is in the listening. Summit Wireless technology delivers digital sound to speakers exactly as it was mastered, without the hours of professional configuration most surround audio systems require.
Summit Wireless 3D audio technology was designed to be integrated into a variety of home audio platforms. Just look for the Summit logo on any of these products:
- Home theater speaker systems
- Audio video receivers
- Blu-ray players
- Digital televisions
- Game platforms (Xbox, Playstation)
- Docking stations
- Sound bars
- Set top boxes
- Wireless audio hubs
Aperion Audio will introduce the first home theater speakers with integrated Summit Wireless audio technology in summer 2010. Similar to Aperion's Intimus 5 series speakers, the Summit-enabled home speaker system will combine superior audio fidelity with a hassle-free wireless set up.
Summit Wireless: Surround sound made simple
Setting up a Summit Wireless-enabled home theater speaker system is truly plug-and-play.
Home users just plug in the amplified speakers, turn them on and the Summit Wireless SpeakerFinder(tm) automatically maps the location of each speaker in the room. It then optimizes for each speaker's correct audio channel, phase delay, volume and default sweet spot.
Next, Summit's MyZone(tm) 3D audio mapping technology takes 3D audio to the next level. At the press of a button, MyZone locates the listener and adjusts each speaker's volume and delay for that location, creating a cohesive sound field around the listener.
Finally, Summit Wireless-enabled home audio speaker systems effortlessly adjust the sound field according to the movements of people in the room: When a home listener moves from chair to couch, perfectly calibrated, high-fidelity sound follows him, with the push of a button.
Uncompromising, uncompressed high fidelity audio
Summit Wireless leverages the most recent advancements in wireless high technology to solve the drawbacks associated with competitive wireless audio systems: interference, static and dropouts:
- Whereas competitive solutions use the 2.4 GHz Wireless spectrum, which competes with microwave ovens, Wi-Fi access points and cordless phones, Summit Wireless uses the new, uncongested 23-channel 5GHz U NII band spectrum.
- Whereas competitive solutions compress audio or reduce it to 16-bit data samples, Summit Wireless supports 24-bit, 48-KHz uncompressed audio.
- Whereas competitive solutions resend lost data at the expense of latency, Summit Wireless uses Forward Error Correction to mitigate loss of data.
- Whereas competitive solutions continually transmit at the highest-permitted power level, Summit Wireless technology enables transmission at the lowest possible level, avoiding interference with other devices in the same spectrum.
It's not a wonder that Summit Wireless high fidelity is as good as it gets for all situations and environments: it's just quality engineering.
