April 28 2020, 00:30
The Wireless Speaker and Audio Association (WiSA) announced it has certified the Q UHD Media Center created by Axiim. The Q UHD sets a very high standard for wireless audio video receivers (AVRs) with its advanced connectivity, wireless connection to all WiSA Certified speakers and premium tuning and control features that tailor the listening experience through a beautifully designed user interface. The Q expands on Axiim’s WiSA Certified wireless audio transmitter collection by joining the Axiim LINK transmitter which is designed for use with WiSA Ready TVs, PCs and gaming systems.
 

Based on one of the original wireless audio hub developments from Axiim, and a CES Innovation Awards Honoree in 2018, the Q UHD Wireless Media Center is a completely integrated multi-channel wireless UltraHD audio and video platform in a compact chassis. A solution for anyone who wants to eliminate speaker wires in their home theater, with all the benefits of the WiSA compliant wireless audio connection allowing up to 7.1 uncompressed 24-bit/96kHz surround sound.

"We are excited the innovative Q UHD from Axiim achieved WiSA Certification,” says Tony Ostrom, president of WiSA. “Axiim has been a leading WiSA player in the wireless audio category, and the Q sets a very high standard for wireless AVRs with its sophisticated feature set, user friendliness, and elegant style."

"We strongly believe in the growing wireless home audio category and wanted to fill the need for an elite wireless AVR solution," says James Hammer, CEO of Axiim. "The Q UHD is designed to deliver a premium user experience during system set-up, while tuning, and during daily use. WiSA technology enables uncompromised, immersive wireless sound for the Q UHD and numerous other Axiim products."

The Q's intuitive user interface and mobile app create an easy set-up and simple control of systems with up to 7.1 channels of audio support. This efficient set-up capability combined with wireless speaker connectivity is an ideal formula to eliminate the common barriers to entry for surround sound systems in the home. The Q delivers a 24-bit/96kHz wireless audio connection to any WiSA Certified speakers from Klipsch, Bang and Olufsen, Enclave, System Audio, Electrocompaniet, Harman, and dozens of other brands, including all Axiim loudspeaker products.
 

Other specifications include audio format support up to Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, 10 band graphics equalizer, volume, and distance calibration per speaker, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac WiFi, connections, as well as six HDMI inputs supporting HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 and CEC with one HDMI output to TV supporting HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, CEC and ARC. There is also a Bluetooth remote and an IR port for users with universal remote control (i.e. Harmony).

The Q mobile app for iOS and Android offers complete control from anywhere the user's home WiFi is available. Furthermore, the app and onscreen display provide access to the latest HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 compliant Blu-ray players, game consoles, and streaming devices connected to any of Q’s available inputs. The Axiim Q UHD is also the first WiSA Certified wireless AVR featuring 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) video support on six HDMI inputs.
 

Axiim is a company headquartered in the Seattle area, a member of the WiSA Association, as well as a Microsoft Partner and Intel Preferred Vendor. The Axiim Q UHD is designed in the U.S. and is available on axiim.com, Amazon, and authorized Bang & Olufsen dealers worldwide.
