WiSA Association enters CEDIA Expo 2023 with new wireless multichannel technology designed specifically for soundbars and a growing roster of WiSA-enabled speakers, TVs and projectors from its engaged membership base. The Association’s CEDIA booth (#4320), in addition to its members’ booths throughout the show floor, will include a range of interoperable products that allow for immersive, wireless audio experiences in an instant. WiSA Certified and interoperable products from member brands Savant, Bang & Olufsen, Dynaudio, Lithe Audio, Platin Audio, Hisense and more will highlight the adoption of WiSA’s wireless audio standard.
 
At CEDIA Expo 2023, WiSA will showcase all its three technologies and provide insight into the use cases and competitive advantages of each technology. WiSA HT transmitter and receiver module-based technology, WiSA DS transceiver module-based technology and WiSA E transceiver-based and embeddable technology will all be on display.

Platin Audio will debut its Milan 5.1.4 Soundbar System with WiSA at CEDIA before its scheduled October 2023 launch. The system is the industry’s first to incorporate WiSA DS Technology to wirelessly power four channels of surround and true Dolby Atmos up-firing audio and a subwoofer from a single transmitter module. The Milan 5.1.4 Soundbar System delivers industry-leading technology and performance at an accessible price point of $799 MSRP. The Platin Audio Milan 5.1.4 Soundbar System relies upon WiSA DS Technology to ensure seamless and reliable 16-bit 48kHz audio transmission from the bar to the two surround channels, two rear up-firing channels and the subwoofer channel. WiSA DS is the second technology module from WiSA, designed specifically for the soundbar market to allow 4.1 channels of high-definition audio from a single transmitter. WiSA Home Theater (HT)
CEDIA attendees will also see WiSA HT Interoperable Certified speakers from Bang & Olufsen, Buchardt Audio, Dynaudio, Savant, Lithe Audio, System Audio and Mesonovic.

The technology transmits up to eight channels of high resolution audio, supporting sound systems up to 7.1 and 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos for truly immersive audio. To earn this certification, products undergo rigorous testing ensuring they produce the high-definition, world-class, multichannel audio that WiSA products are known for.
