Modern home entertainment centers have become a lot more complex (and crowded) than they used to be, so there's a real need for devices that will eliminate as much as possible all the cable clutter, such a product being the 7.1 HDMI Wireless Audio Hub presented by Hansong Technologies.

Powered by Summit Wireless technology from Summit Semiconductor, the small form factor HDMI audio hub provides audio video receiver connectivity and advanced high definition audio decode for digital televisions, Blu-ray players, game machines, digital music players (iPods, etc.) and set top boxes.

In addition to the high definition wireless audio link to the speakers, the audio hub uses Summit Wireless automatic optimization capability that includes SpeakerFinder instant setup and MyZone audio sweet spot calibration which in seconds assigns the correct audio channel to each speaker and produces a time aligned sound field for the listener by instantly adjusting delay and volume to their listening position in the room.

The wireless audio hub also delivers some other interesting features, such as support for DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD formats, as well as an On Screen Display and LED status that indicate input selection and surround mode.

The device packs plenty of interfaces, including here 5.1 Optical and coax audio inputs, 3 HDMI inputs and 1 output, plus 2 Stereo analog inputs for iPod, iPhone, MP3 players, Nintendo Wii, and other legacy audio devices.

"Speaker brands have been asking us for a digital wireless audio hub based on Summit Wireless technology that can be easily bundled with speakers at a price point that is accessible to the masses," said General Manager, Hansong Technologies, Helge Kristensen.

"Summit Wireless is in a class by itself and gaining market momentum because it's the only wireless solution that can deliver reliable audiophile quality sound from 2.0 to 7.1, provides built-in digital signal processing for speaker tuning and can be easily set-up in minutes via SpeakerFinder and MyZone technologies."
