CEDIA 2009

At CEDIA next week, Focus Enhancements will be demonstrating what it calls the industry's only 7.1-channel wireless-audio system. Dubbed Summit, the technology uses the 5GHz band to transmit multichannel audio to powered speakers equipped with compatible receivers. The demo will include a set of Aperion Intimus 5 speakers modified with internal power amps and Summit receivers, and Focus Enhancements is in discussions with many other audio companies to incorporate the technology into their products.
