The Phorus PS10 Wireless Speaker, Onkyo Smart Speaker P3 and Pioneer
Elite Smart Speaker F4 to begin shipping in late September/early October
CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DTS,
a global leader in high-definition audio solutions and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Xperi
Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) ("Xperi"), is pleased to announce the
launch of the first DTS Play-Fi®-enabled wireless speakers
with Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS). The Phorus PS10 wireless speaker
($249 MSRP) will ship in late September/early October, followed by the
Onkyo Smart Speaker P3 and Pioneer Elite Smart Speaker F4.
Each speaker's built-in far-field microphone system lets customers use
the Alexa Voice Service to access information, control playback, control
other home automation devices, and order additional wireless multi-room
speakers to build out their DTS Play-Fi-enabled wireless multi-room
audio system. Advance signal processing techniques reliably capture
spoken commands in noisy environments, even when the speaker is playing
music, from across the room.
"Amazon Alexa is the most widely recognized and adopted voice service on
the market and we are very excited to announce the first of many
products with built-in, far-field Alexa capability," said Dannie Lau,
general manager, DTS Play-Fi at Xperi. "By combining DTS Play-Fi with
the Alexa Voice Service, these speakers extend Alexa's capabilities to
more than 200 products from 23 different manufacturers, while providing
compatibility with the same Alexa skills customers have grown to love."
The Phorus PS10 wireless speaker produces stunning audio quality, thanks
to a built-in 30-watt Class D amplifier with DTS Sound processing, two
65mm neodymium full range transducers, and dual passive radiators for
powerful bass. The PS10 supports playback of up to 24-bit/192kHz high
resolution audio distributed wirelessly via DTS Play-Fi technology. The
PS10 also features four hard button music station presets, allowing for
easy, one touch access to a user's favorite streaming music stations.
All three products from Phorus, Onkyo and Pioneer will support the
Amazon Alexa Connected Speaker APIs with a future firmware update. This
will enable these products to select and control the playback of music
on all DTS Play-Fi-enabled speakers throughout the home.
Music selection is easy using either your voice, the DTS Play-Fi app for
smartphones and tablets, or on-device presets. When compatible DTS
Play-Fi products are grouped together, music plays to the group
simultaneously regardless of the selected source. Listeners can also
control the DTS Play-Fi system using the Apple Watch or Android Wear.
DTS Play-Fi technology enables lossless multi-room wireless audio
streaming from the world's most popular music services including Amazon
Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Juke, KKBox, Napster, Pandora, Qobuz, QQ
Music, SiriusXM, Spotify and TIDAL, thousands of Internet radio
stations, as well as personal music libraries, on any supported product.
The DTS Play-Fi ecosystem features the largest collection of products in
the whole-home wireless audio space, with dozens of interoperable
speakers, sound bars, set-top boxes, and receivers from the top names in
premium audio such as Onkyo, Pioneer and Elite, as well as Aerix,
Anthem, Arcam, Autonomic, Definitive Technology, DISH TV, Integra,
Fusion Research, Klipsch, MartinLogan, McIntosh, Paradigm, Phorus, Polk
Audio, Rotel, Sonus faber, Soundcast, SVS Sound, THIEL Audio and Wren
Sound.
