High resolution streaming
With built-in Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Spotify Lossless, Chromecast, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth, Stereo Hub HT puts the entire music world at your fingertips. It’s even Roon Ready! Stream from any device, any service, and enjoy pristine sound with zero effort.
Seamless control with our SA Cockpit app
With SA Cockpit, you can apply room correction, fine-tune the sound and connect Silverback systems in other rooms and control individual sound experiences all over your house.
The best wireless connection
Stereo Hub HT uses WiSA technology and delivers lossless, high-resolution sound (24 bit / 96 kHz) with no compression and no lag. It works independently of Wi-Fi, ensuring a rock-solid connection between Stereo Hub HT and Silverback speakers.
Stereo Hub HT and smart remote control
The hub is the heart of the system. Simply connect your devices to it and tuck it away – no more messy cables in sight.
Stereo Hub HT easily connects all audio devices that use cables, such as TV, turntable, CD, Blu-ray, or computer. The hub doesn’t have to be in a visible place, and you can hide it away together with the cables. The sound is sent wirelessly in high-resolution to the Silverback speakers.
The System Audio remote control works with radio frequency, so you don’t have to point it at anything. It lights up when you pick it up and integrates seamlessly with your smartphone’s volume control. No batteries needed – just recharge via USB-C.
