CES Innovations 2005 Awards Honoree
Firebird Sounds FREENIX BS Series: High-end wireless (hybrid) digital amplifiers / speaker stands, featuring uncompressed wireless digital CD quality signals. Transforms regular speakers into wireless powered speakers
Description
The innovative product is a high-end digital wireless (hybrid) digital amplifier and wireless digital transmitter, with an option to embed it into a speaker stand/ base. It has the flexibility to form wireless 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 home theater speaker systems, or can be stand-alone wireless solution with speakers or subwoofers. It transmits and receives with uncompressed 2.4 GHz.wireless digital CD quality signals.
This product is opening new market segments and enhancing our product line. The audio market was once limited by the traditional wired setup, but the wireless digital amplifiers drastically increase the adaptability and flexibility of conventional speakers to provided ample applications and solutions. Also, embedding the wireless digital amplifier into the optional speaker stand / base provides a convenient wireless option for our existing high end speakers. This hybrid solution increases effectiveness and compliance in various speaker placements and applications.
Features
Transforms your own conventional speakers into high-end wireless powered speakers.
Optional wireless speaker base / speaker stand design seamlessly embeds the wireless digital amplifier into a functional speaker stand, both practical and cosmetic.
Wireless / wired (hybrid) design that provides for the greatest adaptability in speaker setup options.
Increases flexibility for conventional speaker placements, enabling various combinations and diverse applications, reduces setup time and effort, avoids physical obstacles caused by structures, building layouts, equipment locations, building material, and cosmetic issues.
Uncompressed 2.4 Ghz. wireless digital CD quality signals without signal delay or loss.
8 switchable channels to avoid possible interference.
Each transmitter provides 2 different channels of signals, “broadcasting” to unlimited receivers.
Class D amplifier module, lightweight with low heat and low power consumption (30-watts of power while delivering 160 watts/4ohms of output power), high efficiency (conversion efficiency rate of 85%).
Contemporary design, and classic piano mirror-finish with heirloom grade woodworking for the optional wireless speaker stands.
Applications
The product has both commercial and residential use when connected with a variety of conventional speakers.
Possible residential applications include: a wireless home theater, a wireless listening room, wireless rear channel speakers, a secondary home theater or stereo setup (utilizing the same source as the primary setup), in room speakers (receiving digital broadcast from transmitting sources in every room), temporary indoor / outdoor setup for parties & special occasions, and “hidden” extended bass enhancement for stereo speakers (wireless subwoofer application).
Commercial uses include: wireless surround sound speaker systems for conference and media rooms, and temporary / mobile high-end audio setups for meetings, presentations, exhibitions, concerts, overflow audience, and trade shows. Further applications include in room speakers for retail stores, classrooms, office rooms, church nurseries, (receiving digital broadcasts from transmitting sources in every room), wireless audio monitoring devices, boats & vehicles wireless speakers set up and wireless PA systems.
