WiSA®
LLC, the Wireless Speaker and Audio Association founded by Summit
Wireless Technologies (NASDAQ: WISA) and comprised of leading consumer
electronics brands, today announces the certification of the Monaco 5.1
Wireless Home Theater speaker system from Platin, a division of Hansong
Technology. The Monaco 5.1 Wireless Home Theater solution is a “white
label” product, available immediately for licensing and rebranding by
consumer electronics and audio companies worldwide.
The Monaco 5.1 Wireless Home Theater speaker system features the
ultimate marriage of performance, simplicity and convenience while
delivering award-winning sound with room-filling clarity and bass
response. With WiSA certification, the Monaco Speaker System will be
able to play wireless, multi-channel audio with low-latency speaker
synchronization with any WiSA compatible WiSA Certified™ or WiSA Ready™*
sources. This includes new 2019 WiSA Ready LG OLED and Nano Cell (Super
UHD) TVs.
Available now, the certification of the Monaco system includes satellite
speakers, a center channel speaker and subwoofer. These wireless
components can be mixed and matched to create powerful audio systems in
any configuration from stereo (2.0) to a 7.1 theater experience.
Interested CE and audio brands can contact the Hansong representative in
their region for pricing and details.
“Today’s consumers desire high-quality, powerful and
aesthetically-pleasing solutions that deliver uncompromised
multi-channel sound without the complexity of wires,” said Helge
Kristensen, Sr. VP, Hansong Technology. “As the demand for wireless
continues to grow, our Monaco speaker system exemplifies a major shift
in how passionate listeners consume home entertainment while serving as
an ideal product for the industry’s growing number of WiSA Ready
platforms.”
All WiSA Certified and WiSA Ready components work together seamlessly to
deliver wireless, multi-channel audio and authentic movie theater sound
that immerses the listener into the middle of movies and video, music,
sports, gaming/esports and more. As a result, consumers can expect an
audiophile experience, but unlike traditional audio systems, set up is
simple and takes just minutes even for larger 5.1 and 7.1 setups.
“We’re very excited to add the Monaco 5.1 Wireless Home Theater speaker
system to our growing list of WiSA Certified and WiSA Ready products
entering the market this year,” said Tony Ostrom, president of WiSA. “As
we help our members bring more products to market, the Association
continues to evolve the landscape of high-definition wireless audio.”

company Hansong Technology, which was established in 1998 as a
manufacturer of high performance, premium audio equipment. Since then,
Hansong has significantly expanded at a controlled pace to cover ODM and
