The Onkyo SOUND SPHERE with SoundSend will be available in 2.1,
3.1 and 5.1 system bundles, giving customers flexibility to
purchase a format that best suits their needs and environment.
Thanks to WiSA Certified™ speakers and Soundsend, an HDMI (or
optical)-connected audio transmitter, the Onkyo surround sound
systems provide immersive, theater-quality sound experiences
without the need for wires and after only minutes of setup.
“Due to gaps in home entertainment that were brought to light by
the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we saw an opportunity to further
enhance home audio and video,” said Kevin Miyagi, an Onkyo Home
Entertainment board member. “The SOUND SPHERE possesses the
capabilities to allow users to experience sound that matches
high-quality video, making any home feel like a live venue. We are
excited to be partnering with WiSA Association to enrich the audio
and video industry.”
By bundling with WiSA’s first-ever branded product, SoundSend,
audio can be transmitted wirelessly to Onkyo SOUND SPHERE speakers
and subwoofers with extremely low latency. SoundSend can also
transmit up to eight high-quality audio channels at the same time,
and its mobile application enables easy access and control features
like MyZone, which allows users to create a “sweet spot” for ideal
listening. The Onkyo systems are compatible with the latest
surround audio format Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer and their
speaker sound quality matches and perfectly complements the visuals
from today’s high-resolution televisions.
“The Association is very honored that Onkyo will release the
first WiSA Certified wireless speaker system in the Japanese
market,” said Tony Ostrom, WISA President. “We look forward to
consumers in Japan easily enjoying this wonderful surround system
at home. As another Association member prioritizes quality and
innovation in the home entertainment category, we are thrilled to
share the certification of the SOUND SPHERE system.”
