The Phorus PS10's built-in far-field microphone array allows users to
access information, play music, and control other home automation
devices via the Amazon Alexa Voice Service. Just like with the Amazon
Echo and Echo Dot, advanced signal processing techniques reliably
capture spoken commands in noisy environments and from across the room,
even when the speaker is playing music. With the inclusion of DTS
Play-Fi technology, the PS10 can connect to more than 200 DTS
Play-Fi-compatible products to form an Alexa-powered whole-home audio
system, regardless of brand.
The Phorus PS10 produces stunning audio quality via a built-in 30-watt
amplifier with DTS Sound post processing, two 65mm Neodymium full range
transducers, and two four-inch bass radiators in a sealed enclosure. The
PS10 supports playback of high-resolution audio files wirelessly via DTS
Play-Fi technology and features four hard button music station presets,
allowing for easy, one-touch access of a user's favorite streaming music
stations.
"Phorus is continually pushing the boundaries of the DTS Play-Fi
ecosystem with new innovative products as demonstrated by the Phorus
PS10 smart speaker, the first wireless multi-room speaker to ship with
Amazon Alexa Voice Service built-in," said Dannie Lau, general manager
of DTS Play-Fi. "The Phorus PS10 is also the first Alexa-compatible
product to include one-touch music station presets and support for
hi-res 24-bit/192kHz content, giving the product category-leading
convenience, performance and sound quality."
Multi-room music control on the Phorus PS10 is easy using the Phorus
Apps for Android, iOS, and Kindle. When compatible DTS Play-Fi products,
including the Phorus PS5 speaker and Phorus PR5 receiver, are grouped
with the PS10, music simultaneously plays to the group with playback
controlled by Alexa. Each member of a family can also use the Phorus app
on their smartphone or tablet to listen to music in their own room or
groups of rooms. Users can also control their system using their Apple
Watch or Android Wear device.
The Phorus PS10 supports playback through Airplay, and Spotify Connect,
includes a 3.5mm input for connecting any analog source, and a
line-level audiophile grade output for connections to high-performance
audio components. Using DTS Play-Fi, the 3.5mm input can be streamed
wirelessly to DTS Play-Fi enabled products in other rooms of the home.
The line out features variable volume output control and a Wolfson
high-resolution DAC for amazing sound quality. Additionally, the PS10
will support Amazon's Connected Speaker API with a future firmware
update. This will enable the PS10 to select and control the playback of
music on all DTS Play-Fi enabled speakers throughout the home.
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, Qobuz, QQ Music,
Pandora, 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 more than 200 interoperable
speakers, sound bars, set-top boxes, and receivers from the top names in
premium audio including Aerix, Anthem, Arcam, Definitive Technology,
DISH TV, Elite, Fusion Research, Integra, Klipsch, MartinLogan,
McIntosh, Onkyo, Paradigm, Phorus, Pioneer, Polk Audio, Rotel, Sonus
faber, THIEL Audio and Wren Sound, with products from Soundcast, SVS
