HP Wireless Audio Music Streamer

Using the same technology integrated into the new HP ENVY notebooks, HP Wireless Audio transforms a notebook or desktop PC into a full home audio system. Users can stream uncompressed audio to up to four external devices or directly to any KleerNet device. Advanced tri-band connectivity reduces interference, lag time and latency for the highest sound quality. The thumb-sized dongle attaches to any PC and the tiny receiver attaches to legacy speakers through its two analog or two digital ports — even supporting 5.1 speaker systems.

HP Wireless Audio connects in few simple steps. HP claims their state-of-the-art software is so intuitive, it automatically ‘sees’ your speakers and links them together. Pair it and forget it. Never connect them again for streaming audio up to 100ft (30m) in any direction.
