In This Article
Danish audio brand System Audio has launched the Silverback 1, a WiSA compatible wireless speaker that can support Hi-Res Audio.
The hi-fi world is fast embracing wireless convenience without scrimping on high quality sound. System Audio’s Silverback 1 system is conceived for those after a “large and detailed soundstage” without being encumbered by physical in-room footprint associated with wired systems. The system comes packaged with the Stereo Hub that will help the system partner with a range of devices.
But first, the speakers themselves. Measuring 31 x 32.5 x 13.5cm, they’re designed for on-wall or bookshelf operation with each two-way speaker featuring a specially designed 5.5-inch woofer and waveguided 1-inch soft dome tweeter powered by twin 80W amplifiers.

That allows a connection from a TV to a CD player and plenty of other devices.
WiSA support will enable the system to connect to other compatible WiSA devices through wireless means, naturally, and with the Surround Hub (when matched with other Silverback speakers), the Silverback 1 can be transformed into a WiSA-enabledDolby Atmoshome cinema system with up to 8 channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio.
