HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Audiovox Corporation . In what could be an industry breakthrough, Acoustic Research has developed and is introducing what they are calling the industry's first high-performance wireless 5.1 speaker package that includes a state-of-the-art, ultra-robust wireless rear channel system. The speaker package includes five voice-matched satellite speakers that utilize dual 3-inch drivers and a 1/2-inch tweeter in a high rigidity aluminum extruded cabinet.
"This is your classic AR-Quality system that finally answers the problems that have plagued wireless speaker systems from the very beginning of their origin," says Tom Malone, Senior VP Sales. Malone explained that after years of researching the wireless speakers market, the Company set out to design and sell what would be a no-compromise, high-performance wireless speaker system. "Our marketing philosophy was to deliver to the consumer a wireless speaker system that was virtually free of the problems and defects of past systems; a system that would reinforce the reputation of the Acoustic Research legacy."
For years consumers have searched for ways to enjoy the experience of a home theater surround sound system without the hassle of running wires to the back of their room. Up until now, the only choices were low-quality systems consisting of sub-par speakers, weak amplifiers, and noisy, interference- prone, wireless transmissions. Now, says Malone, that is all about to change.
AR's new WHT6024 Wireless Home Theater System is an audiophile's dream. The subwoofer is a high output 10-inch, 125-watt amplifier designed to deliver the full impact of any performance. The wireless system employs highly- advanced digital spread spectrum 2.4 GHz circuitry with a Quality of Service (QOS) channel that continuously and seamlessly avoids any potential interference.
"This system," says Malone, "is ideal for operating in classic hostile environments such as cordless phones, 802.11 computer networks and the dreaded microwave oven. And the sound quality is outstanding, thanks to a superior wireless design that delivers uncompressed, 20Hz to 20KHz, wide-separation "CD" performance. To top it off, AR has designed a no-nonsense, 50-watt RMS power amplifier into each rear channel, delivering the true impact that is essential to a serious home theater system. And the best news of all ... it's easy for the average consumer to install! Just plug in the transceiver, connect it to the rear speaker outputs of your home theater receiver, plug in the rear channels into any nearby outlet, and you are done."
The AR WHT6024 is the first home theater wireless system to offer true high-quality audio speakers, and a reliable, interference-free "CD" quality, wireless solution. The system will be available staring in April 2007 with an MSRP of $799.
