Lithe Audio debuts wireless home cinema system and WiSA outdoor speakers

Lithe Audio is looking to change the home cinema paradigm with its new WiSA-enabled Dolby Atmos home cinema solution. The Lithe Audio Wireless Cinema Hub and partnering Cinema Subwoofer can be wirelessly connected to Lithe Audio WiSA-enabled PRO Ceiling speakers, for a fully integrated AVR-free home theatre system.

The brand has also launched a new all-weather speaker, the WiSA iO1, for those that want to take their cinema sound out of the house. The i01 is waterproof with an IP-66 rating and comes with six different mounting configurations.

The system is scalable from 2.1 to a full 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup, with a mix of iO1 speakers and Pro series ceiling speakers. Any combination of 8 channels with up to 30 stacked speakers is possible.

“This is a game-changing solution that wirelessly delivers a discreet yet fully immersive room-filling media experience for movies, gaming or music in the home,” says Amit Ravat, Director of UK-based AV specialist Lithe Audio.

“The Cinema Hub provides multiple wireless streaming services and Dolby sound format options and links seamlessly to any WiSA-enabled speakers without connecting cables. Together with the WiSA Subwoofer, it transforms the home cinema experience into something extraordinary.”

The WiSA-enabled Lithe Audio Cinema Subwoofer features an 8-inch downward-firing driver. It can be hardwired to any traditional wired AVR, via the sub-out port, for use as a traditional active subwoofer. However, it also connects to any WiSA HT cinema or music system; a line-out port allows for multiple stacking of subs for deeper, more consistent bass.

The Cinema Hub and sub connect seamlessly to Lithe Audio low latency WiSA-certified ceiling and on-wall speakers. Integrators should note that the system is also interoperable with any other WiSA HT certified speakers.

Installation involves Automatic Room Correction via an app, with options to specify the size, shape, and acoustic properties of the room.

WiSA supports Dolby Atmos wirelessly. There’s also codec support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+ / Dolby True HD and Dolby Atmos Virtual.

Tony Ostrom, WiSA Association President adds: “The team at Lithe Audio continues to innovate and lead with amazing audio solutions that bring powerful performances, elegant design, and simplicity of installation to anyone seeking amazing home entertainment experiences. We are very excited to be the technology driving the high quality wireless audio connectivity and performance of this great solution from our friends at Lithe Audio.”

There’s support for AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, and Spotify.

Says Ravat: “These systems are not just about listening to music or watching movies outdoors; they are about creating a fully immersive, high-quality audio-visual environment that complements and enhances the outdoor living experience. The integration of wireless technology, weather resistance, and ease of installation positions these systems at the forefront of outdoor entertainment, offering a glimpse into a future where our outdoor spaces are as technologically equipped and versatile as our indoor environments.”

The Lithe Audio Wireless Cinema system is available in various configurations, from 3.1, 5.1 and 7.1 through to 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos. Prices start at £1284.
