TP Vision has introduced the new Philips TV & Sound Wireless Home System and the new Philips Sound app powered by DTS Play-Fi and designed to allow compatible Philips TV and audio products to seamlessly connect and work together.
The new Philips TV & Sound Wireless Home System is based on DTS Play-Fi technology, a premium whole-home, wireless audio platform that allows consumers to stream high-quality audio from TV and mobile devices to compatible speakers throughout the home, using proprietary streaming, synchronisation, and authentication technology.
It was recently announced that DTS Play-Fi is now available on TP Vision’s 2020 model Android TVs. It is now expanding the Philips Wireless Home System product offering to include new compatible soundbar and wireless audio speaker models. All 2019 model Android TVs will also receive an over-the-air update to add DTS Play-Fi connectivity.
Now added to the range, two high-quality wireless audio speakers have been announced – the vertically orientated W6205 and the larger horizontally orientated W6505.
Both new speakers feature a dark grey acoustically transparent cloth wrap around the main body with an ultra-thin, minimalist metal top featuring controls for the main operation of the speakers.
A one-in soft dome tweeter and a 3.5-in woofer features on the W6205, supported by two passive bass radiators that adopt Philips’ unique, patented wOOx multi-suspension driver system to offer the maximum bass extension.
It has 40W of power onboard, resulting in a large-scale performance projected beyond the speaker cabinet. A second W6205 can be added to form a stereo pair for further enhanced audio performance.
The larger W6505features two one-in soft dome tweeters plus two 3.5-in woofers and two wOOx enabled passive bass radiators powered by an 80W amplifier.
In addition to DTS Play-Fi connectivity, both the W6205 and W6505 also allow a wide choice of wireless connectivity via Bluetooth, Google Chromecast and Apple Airplay 2. Both speakers also feature Spotify Connect plus access to all major streaming services via the Philips Sound app powered by DTS Play-Fi.
Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant allows users to have hands-free control of both models, as well as spoken activation via Siri for connected iOS devices.
An additional unique feature sees both models feature LED lights which can connect with Philips TV’s Ambilight system.
As well as launching the two new speakers, TP Vision has also introduced seven new soundbars to the system.
Joining the new premium Philips Fidelio B95 and B97 soundbars, Philips TV & Sound has launched five additional soundbars in the company’s new high-quality 8000 range, all compatible with the Philips Wireless Home System.
The range extends from the single bar, integrated 2.1 channel 120W B8205 to the fully featured 3.1.2 channel B8905 with Dolby Atmos Elevation drivers, 360W of power, a wireless sub and e-arc connectivity.
