Amphony is unveiling at this year´s Consumer
Electronics Show its 5.8 GHz Digital Wireless Audio Transmitter /
Amplifiers, Model 1520 and 1550, which are capable of transmitting audio
to loudspeakers wireless and without any audio degradation."Both
wireless amplifiers connect directly to any regular passive loudspeakers,
such as the surround speakers within home theater settings and eliminate
speaker wires between the DVD player and the speakers," said Gunter
Fellbaum, Marketing Director at Amphony.
"Each wireless amplifier receives a 5.8 GHz audio signal that is
transmitted in a digital format up to 150 feet away from the transmitter.
Our technology provides true CD quality wireless audio at 5.8 GHz without
any audio compression and is fully immune to interference from wireless
devices using the 2.4 GHz frequency band. To minimize size and heat
dissipation, we incorporated digital class-T amplification, which provides
the power efficiency of conventional class-D digital amplifiers at a far
lower audio distortion. Each wireless amplifier only measures
5 x 3.5 x 2 inches and is easily mountable to a speaker. The Model 1550 is
rated at 50-Watts peak output power per channel, 0.005 % audio distortion,
92 dB signal-to-noise ratio and provides a frequency response of 1 Hz to
23 kHz. The Model 1520 is rated at 20-Watts peak output power and 0.03 %
audio distortion."
The 5.8 GHz Digital Wireless Audio Transmitter / Amplifier, Model 1520
set includes one stereo audio transmitter, which connects to either a
line-level or an amplified speaker audio output and one wireless stereo
amplifier. The set has a target street price of $129. The Model 1550 set
includes one stereo transmitter and two wireless mono amplifiers and has a
target street price of $199. Additional amplifiers can be purchased
separately to operate from the initial transmitter.
Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Amphony is a startup technology
company specializing in the development of electronic products and
technologies, in particular high-quality audio transmission technologies.
