These speakers will transmit Dolby Atmos through the electrical wiring of your home.
Avoid unnecessary complications.
Fasetto has made public its recent Dolby Atmos product certification for its Audio Cu system, designed to connect televisions and other audio devices to speakers and subwoofers using the existing electrical wiring in the home. This system is presented as an innovative option to traditional methods that require the installation of audio cables through walls or the attempt to hide cables under carpets and furniture.
Unlike wireless solutions such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which can face issues like higher latency and audio compression, Audio Cu utilizes the home's electrical network as a means of connection. For each speaker in the setup, an Audio Cu receiver and a power outlet are needed. For example, for a home theater system that includes five speakers and a subwoofer, seven power outlets and seven Audio Cu devices would be required: one transmitter for the television and one receiver for each speaker. The company claims that the latency added by the system is less than 20 milliseconds and is unaffected by interference.
The system is compatible with any speaker that has red and black terminals (positive and negative) and allows transmission of up to 10 channels over the electrical lines from a single transmitter, making it suitable for a Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 configuration. For larger homes, up to six transmitters can be used in separate configurations, although the Audio Cu system has a limit of 32 channels in total. The setup and audio adjustments, which include presets, equalization settings, and effects for individual speakers, are managed through a mobile app available for iOS and Android, although it is also possible to control the volume using the television or projector remote.
Fasetto, which has already developed other connectivity solutions for multiple devices, has not disclosed the price of the Audio Cu transmitters and receivers, but the system is expected to be available soon, with the cost set to be revealed. If the price does not significantly increase the cost of a home theater installation, it could be a very welcome alternative, provided it is not used in remote areas without electricity.
