WiSa technology and its future developments.

[Katji]

Where are those WiSa transmitters/receivers being sold, please?

That only matters if the input is digital though.

Yup. I am presuming that.

Thank you.
I am looking, as many others supporting CME iWA, for a transmitter/receiver set that allow us to make our keyboards wireless while keeping the loudspeakers we love our best, and the headphones.
It goes without saying that such a device will be, I do think so, truly great for everyone in the audio scenario.

I don't understand how keyboard is involved. .................My wireless keyboard [like my mouse] has a wireless "dongle thing" in a USB port on the computer.
... and now there are Bluetooth mouses/keyboards.

I didn't make myself understood.
Audio scenario...musicians...music lovers.
Keyboard synthesizers...
Digital pianos...
Currently all wireless devices are for guitars and only transmit in mono, not stereo.
MIDI wireless is already a reality also thanks to CME.

But the last step in the chain, the transmission of a very low lagged high quality lossless stereo audio signal is still locked to the wires.

Uh-uh.

So funny HA HA!
I love how they are making fun of all these companies selling BS!!

The best part is having Dr. Oclee-Brown and Mr. Coorg not even batting an eyelid and with the same voice they´d introduce a new tech in cabinet reinforcing.

Additing to this thread a news release about LG now supporting WiSa soundsend transmitters with eARC.

Multiple LG OLED TVs Including C2, G2 Series and Z2 SIGNATURE Series Earn WiSA SoundSend Certification, Adding to Growing Number of WiSA SoundSend Certified TVs

WiSA® LLC, a subsidiary of WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), today announced that the LG OLED C2, OLED G2, OLED SIGNATURE Z2, ART90, LX1, LX3, Q

SoundSend Wireless Audio Transmitter | WiSA

SoundSend decodes your smart TV’s audio signal and transmits up to 8 channels of uncompressed 24-bit 48/96 kHz sound to WiSA-certified speakers.

Anyone who has one of these TV's, transmitters, and capable speakers would appreciate hearing back findings.

I have an LG TV in my common room (kitchen/living room) and definitely would be interested in replacing my old Denon driven Polk 2ch setup with some KEF wireless speakers when the time comes. Getting rid of speaker wires and the wire from the TV to the Denon would definitely improve the look of the room.

You can already hook up a pair of active LS speakers (50, 60 or LSX) via earc.

They are not WiSa (at least, not certified) nor capable of multichannel (hopefully they will be in the future), but if you are using stereo only, it is perfectly possible to use them.

I know because I have an LG C20 connected to a pair of LS50 wireless II and a KC62.

I understand. I ideally would want to get rid of the eARC cable running from my TV out to the Denon in the cabinet next to it. With this little puck I can hide it behind the TV removing the unsightly cable from view.

I would love to be able to remove cables too, don't get me wrong. Waiting a bit may bring us all luck.

However, Dirac, multichannel and KEF actives would, for me, make a dream setup.

 

[Harryharryharry]

I've only recently learned about wisa, seems active wireless speakers will be the way to go. Am I right in thinking the Dynaudio focus range are the only ones available with Dirac at the moment?

Has anyone seen measurements of the focus range?

Such a shame the Kef LS60 didn't include Dirac and wisa. Maybe in the future or via competitors.

Actually the LS60 (and LS50WII as well probably) uses WiSa to wirelessly connect the second speaker. It’s just a closed system, so you cannot use it with other WiSa systems.

Yeah that's a shame. And it's only two channel at the moment?

The Bustard speakers look like good value and a long warranty but no Dirac sadly and their room correction implementation doesn't sound great (uses iPhone microphone).

Sarumbear in this thread pointed out, quite rightfully, that WiSa needs to expand the amount of speakers. If it already transmits Atmos, 16 channels seems to be the standard nowadays (even if just 11 are used).

I really don’t see the point of having Dirac on a per speaker basis. I’d rather have multichannel Dirac at the WiSa transmitter. That makes it speaker independent and gives more possibilities, like DLBC.

Is there such a transmitter available? I had a look at the obvious ones but didn't see any Dirac or equivalent

There is a USB transmitter that is just an 8-channel sound cards you could run Dirac Live multichannel on your PC or Mac, DBLC should be coming soon to these platforms as well.
