Q: What are the advantages by using WiSA?

No interference Because WiSA runs in its own “dedicated lane,” the audio is never interrupted by others in the house streaming movies or gaming. No delay (Latency) The latency is less than 5 milliseconds. This is so fast that it is impossible for the human ear to detect. This means the sound is always in perfect synchronization with the picture on your TV. Perfect synchronization between speakers WiSA ensures that the sound reaches both (or all) speakers at exactly the same time (within 1 microsecond), which is crucial for a razor-sharp stereo image. Why is it better than standard wireless audio? While Bluetooth heavily compresses the audio, and standard Wi-Fi can be unstable, WiSA delivers up to 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution. This is technically superior to CD quality and ensures that every single detail in the music is preserved – completely without cables.

Question 1

What is a wireless (active) speaker?

Accepted Answer

A wireless speaker dont need an external amplifier or receiver. You get a simpler, cleaner setup with a sound that is perfectly optimized.
The wireless Silverback speakers works with out control unit Stereo Hub HT, Stereo Hub and Surround Hub. You dont need cables between the wireless hub and the wireless speakers.
It&#8217;s a complete wireless solution that works with both modern High Resolution streaming services as well as your turntable, CD player and TV.

Question 2

Do I need an amplifier for wireless speakers?

Accepted Answer

No. The Silverback wireless speakers work with the control unit, Stereo Hub, from System Audio.
The Stereo Hub HT connects your devices wirelessly to Silverback speakers in a simple and practical music system with High-Definition sound.

Question 3

What is the difference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers?

Accepted Answer

Bluetooth connects directly to your phone/computer and is very easy to use.
Wi-Fi speakers, like our wireless Silverback speakers, connect to your home network, which allows for higher sound quality (lossless audio), a more stable connection over a longer range, and multi-room capabilities.
The Silverback series uses the WiSa technology. While Bluetooth heavily compresses the audio, and standard Wi-Fi can be unstable, WiSA delivers up to 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution.
This is technically superior to CD quality and ensures that every single detail in the music is preserved – completely without cables.

Question 4

What is WiSA?

Accepted Answer

WiSA is the leading international standard for wireless high-end sound. It is a technology that lets us transfer sound i full CD-quality (or better) completely lossless and with no latency.
It is your guarantee for a stable, uncompromising sound experience that is great for both sound and movies.
The unique thing about WiSA (Wireless Speaker and Audio) is that the technology operates on its own dedicated frequencies.
While standard Wi-Fi speakers and Bluetooth devices compete for space on the crowded 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (alongside your router, your neighbor’s Wi-Fi, and your microwave), WiSA utilizes so-called DFS channels.

Question 6

What makes Silverback unique?

Accepted Answer

Silverback is a true breakthrough in terms of sound quality and everyday use.
Entertainment is now available on the internet in higher quality than ever before. Even traditional physical media can’t keep up.
The incredible speed of modern internet and WiFi, combined with streaming services offering High Resolution audio quality, makes it possible to enjoy amazing sound by streaming from a smartphone. You no longer need an expensive and complex entertainment system with multiple devices and cables.
Ordinary streaming speakers cannot handle High Resolution audio quality, so music lovers can hear the difference. And a traditional HiFi system cannot reproduce the deepest and highest tones when playing background music.
Silverback is the simple solution to both.
Here you get the simplicity of wireless streaming combined with High Resolution audio quality, and a liberating sound quality at low volume that continues when you turn it up.
Silverback doesn’t just offer the best sound for streaming. You can also connect your TV, turntable, CD player, computer, and any other audio source to the system and enjoy the full potential of each format.

Question 7

What does the hub do?

Accepted Answer

It’s the system’s control center. It acts as a streamer and handles virtually all streaming services. Connect your TV, turntable, CD player, and computer to the hub, as well as other devices that deliver sound via cable.
The hub also contains the system’s room correction (Room Service) and ensures that sound from all sources is optimized for the room’s acoustics.
The hub is controlled by the included remote, the SA Cockpit app, and any smartphone connected to WiFi.
The hub can be hidden away and doesn’t need to be visible.

Question 8

Which hub should you choose?

Accepted Answer

Stereo Hub HT is designed for music systems with two wireless speakers (2.0 system), with the option to add a wired or wireless subwoofer (2.1 system).
Surround Hub has built-in Dolby Atmos and can connect up to 8 wireless speakers to create an 8-channel Dolby Atmos home theater. It also works as a music system (2.0) with the same audio quality as Stereo Hub HT, and you can add a wireless subwoofer.
Surround Hub X differs from Surround Hub by offering DTS:X decoding in addition to Dolby Atmos.

Remember, you can always change your choice of hub. The system is flexible, and all hubs and speakers can be reconfigured at any time.

Question 9

Can the system deliver audio to all your rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A hub and a pair of speakers in multiple rooms can all connect to your WiFi and be used independently or simultaneously by any family member with a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Silverback can also be used in a multi-room system without requiring a hub.

Question 10

What is SA Cockpit?

Accepted Answer

It’s our free app (for Android and iPhone). SA Cockpit is used for setting up hubs and speakers, room correction, sound adjustments, and works as a remote control in addition to the included remote.

Question 11

What does room correction do?

Accepted Answer

Our room correction (called Room Service) is part of the SA Cockpit app. It analyzes the room’s influence on the sound and adjusts the speakers’ performance so it fits perfectly to the room. The process takes less than a minute and only needs to be done once unless the speakers are moved. Room correction is a clear upgrade to the sound.

Question 12

Does Surround Hub sound like Stereo Hub HT when I listen to music?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Surround Hub uses the exact same streaming technology as Stereo Hub HT and delivers the same High Resolution audio experience for two-channel music.
Choosing Surround Hub means you can enjoy wireless sound in High Resolution quality (24 bit / 96 kHz) in up to 8 channels in Dolby Atmos format for both music and movies. Surround Hub X adds DTS:X format in addition to Dolby Atmos.

Question 13

Why our hub solution is smarter when competitors offer direct cable connections in speakers?

Accepted Answer

The hub is smarter for two reasons:
Cables in speakers are impractical and don’t eliminate visible cables in your home. A hub can be hidden, and so can the cables.
Technological developments may create new needs and make your entire system obsolete. With a hub solution, the risk is limited to the hub.

Question 14

Can Silverback speakers connect to normal HiFi equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your amplifier has a pre-out connection. A cable from the amplifier’s pre-out to the speaker’s analog input will work with any Silverback speaker. The speaker turns on automatically when it receives a signal from the amplifier and turns off automatically after 20 minutes without sound.

Question 15

Does Stereo Hub HT connect to more than two speakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stereo Hub HT can connect to up to 16 wireless WiSA speakers in the same room as the hub. However, the speakers can only play simultaneously and cannot adjust volume independently.
