Hi!
I'm off to demo two Wireless Speaker systems on the weekend and both are
from Polk Audio, the Omni S2 and the Omni s6.
The S2 is the portable Wi-Fi player and the S6 is the premium
"Stand-alone" offering.
Both these Speaker units have the Play-Fi Wireless Open eco system
built-in so that makes them truly flexible and able to play high quality
audio such as HD, High res etc.
Being Play-Fi compatible means that these spekaer units can be used as
multi room components.
The S2 portable runs on a rechargeable battery and has Bluetooth
streaming as well as the aforementioned Play-Fi streaming. The S6 can
have Bluetooth added with the addition of a USB Bluetooth adapter, I'm
not sure whether this adapter is a specific Polk Audio item or readily
available off the shelf so to speak, I hope my questions will be
answered on Saturday.
Whilst both the S2 and S6 can obviously join a Wi-Fi network I also know
that - again with the help of a USB adapter - the S2 can be wired to a
LAN if you'd prefer.
Polk Audio have several devices in the Omni line-up, a Pre-amp, a
Soundbar and an adapter that can be connected to an existing system to
enable Play-Fi compatibility.
More details next week.
