VIZIO is really stepping up their wireless audio product line. Readers of wirelessaudioblog will note that the VSB210WS a 2.1 soundbar from VIZIO has been on the market for over a year now, offering fairly punchy sound with the convenience of the a wireless subwoofer. The success of this audio solution has spawned a major line extension which appears closer to hitting stores over the next 6 to 10 weeks.
The linked press release (from CES) outlines the new line, which consists of three new soundbar systems:
- The entry level 2.0 (model: VHT200)
- The step-up 2.1 (model: VHT212) system with wireless subwoofer
- The premium, 5.1 (model: VHT512) with wireless subwoofer and wireless satellites
From the press release:
All of the 2.1 and 5.1 home theater sound bars and wireless headphones include support for High Definition Wireless Audio (HDWA) which lets users enjoy their home theater audio from anywhere in the home.
These wireless soundbar systems are compatible with a HDWA-compatible iPod dock that can be placed anywhere around the house, and a set of HDWA-enabled headphones (VHP100) with active noise cancellation.
It all might line sounds a little overwhelming, but once the info goes live on the website I am sure things will make more sense. I got a chance to play with the products last week, and their freaking cool.
Personally, I’m stoked about these because Avnera’s amps and wireless chips are riddled throughout, and good folks have been busting their behinds making them happen.
