Audio manufacturer RIVA has introduced the WAND Series, a customisable and easy-to-use “multi-space†audio system that delivers high-quality, patented stereophonic sound from a single speaker.
The system is easy through the RIVA WAND app that can create zones, stream different music/audio content through the environment, and voice control the system. The RIVA WAND Series will include the ARENA and FESTIVAL speakers and is expected to be available for purchase late November at RIVA Audio retailers and at on the company’s website.
In addition to streaming of hi-res music, podcasts, and YouTube channels through multiple connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, DDMS, Spotify Connect, AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth, the WAND series is also Google Cast ready and offers multiple connectivity options, from a single direct connection to a whole-environment wireless networked audio system that can simultaneously stream to up to 32 speakers without acoustic latency.
Take the speakers outdoors and they can easily create their own ad hoc network. The ARENA model is splash resistant and, with the optional connected battery pack (16+ hours), can be used anywhere. The ARENA and FESTIVAL include analog and USB inputs with charge out for phones and tablets, and the FESTIVAL will also include an optical input.
Setup is easy and intuitive and guided through the RIVA WAND app, which is also used to create zones and stream music.
RIVA’s WAND Series features the compact RIVA ARENA and full-range tabletop RIVA FESTIVAL speakers, both featuring RIVA Audio’s patented Trillium audio technology. Trillium is ADX’s proprietary 3-channel audio technology that enlarges the audio image while allowing the power of the audio to be reproduced—said to give listeners an audio experience as close to live as it gets by using three discrete channels to create stereophonic sound much larger than the actual speakers.
