Effortless surround sound, well as long as you have an AC outlet nearby. That’s the promise of WiSA, and it’s gotten much easier with devices like Axiim’s LINK because you don’t even need a receiver. Now there’s a $900 5.1 THX certified tuned (eh?) system entering the market to fill in the previous gap between budget and high-end. SAN JOSE, […]

WiSA is neat tech. So I always make a point to put them on the list of groups to meet with at CES. There wasn’t much new this year; the chips still top out at a Dolby Atmos unfriendly channel count. Although as a “better” alternative to a soundbar (i.e good in a good/better/best) for the vast majority of consumers […]
Read moreIt would be impossible to tell the WiSA and Axiim stories separately for CES 2018, so we are going to have to combine the two here. From a straight technology perspective, not much seems to have changed with the WiSA standard. Aside from Axiim there have only been some minor changes to the available consumer hardware. Although some major brands […]

It isn’t very often when a new product leaves me speechless, but the Axiim Link HD did exactly that when I discovered its existance. It is fantastic in its simplicity (as a product) because it essentially turns your Windows 10 HTPC or Xbox One into a multi-channel wireless audio (via WiSA) “AVR”. Based on the PR it looks like audio […]

If the idea of a wireless AVR+speaker system from Axiim sounds interesting to you, but were waiting for something a bit grander/larger/towery than what they’ve had on offer so far… The wait is over, for pre-order anyway with the just announced WM Series. The spec’s look interesting and I would expect performance to be a step up from the existing […]

Wow. Just wow. It’s not that often where you open a product announcement email to find out that the company is upgrading existing users for free. But, that’s just what Axiim just did in their latest newsletter. Fixing one of my few, and arguably most important, complaints with the Q. I need to lay down… Greetings from Axiim! We’ve been […]

You should have read Missing Remote’s first look at the axiim Q Wireless Home Theater System (if you haven’t, seriously!!!). So you’ll all know that it’s currently in BETA, and therefore offers a pretty steep discount off the eventual SRP. If you have been pondering potentially purchasing this WiSA based home audio system, there won’t be much more time to […]

Not everyone will agree, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made that audio is the most important aspect of creating an immersive home theater experience. Yes, video matters, a lot, but what really draws you into the experience? Better contrast, or when you can hear the shell casings hit the ground behind you to the right? […]

It looks like 2016 might be the year when WiSA wireless speaker tech finally hits the market in a real way. I have been following the standard for several years, and having heard it in action can attest to its performance. Really looking forward to seeing how it develops, sad I couldn’t make it this year to listen to Klipsch’s […]
