Platin Audio, which is a sort of house-brand for WiSA Technologies (formerly Summit Wireless), the company that develops and certifies all products using WiSA technology, is launching the Platin Audio Monaco 5.1.2 with a WiSA SoundSend audio transmitter. This will be the first wireless audio system to incorporate true Dolby Atmos up-firing speakers, expanding from the original Monaco 5.1 configuration. This latest home cinema solution from Platin Audio is designed to deliver every detail of today’s highly produced streaming and on-demand content, offering a true multichannel configuration based on separate speakers, which are able to generate the height channels with up-firing drivers. This Dolby Atmos system is WiSA HT Certified, the new designation for the original WiSA technology developed for home theater, to distinguish from the new WiSA DS implementation on 2.4GHz.
The new Monaco 5.1.2 system from Platin is designed as an immersive audio solution for today’s content with a simple plug-and-play setup that creates theater-level experiences in the home environment. With integrated front left and right up-firing speakers, the system is uniquely engineered to the Dolby specifications for Dolby Atmos and certified by Dolby. The combination of processing, wireless connectivity and true up-firing channels provides a truly immersive and spatial sound arena for listeners.
"We are excited to bring our newest product to market this fall as a catalyst for the home audio category," says Kevin McDonald, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Platin Audio. "The Monaco 5.1.2 takes the possibilities of home audio to the next level, truly elevating any interior into a cinematic experience. In combining the WiSA technology with the legacy of Dolby sound, we have designed a system that creates a genuinely unmatched audio experience for the home viewer."
Built by a team with more than 30 years of experience, Platin Audio is a brand committed to design high-performing audio systems available at affordable prices. The Platin Audio Monaco 5.1.2 with WiSA SoundSend leverages WiSA HT’s eight channels of high-resolution, extremely low-latency and tightly synchronized audio to decode and properly play Dolby Atmos audio tracks.
The system will retail for $1,499 at select stores and online beginning in mid-October and pre-orders are available at https://shop.platinaudio.us. With this implementation in the market, there's hope that we will see finally a series of announcements of similar 5.1.2 and (at least) 5.1.4 configurations by many of the brands and manufacturers that license the WISA technology.
