San Jose, CA (PRWEB) March 21, 2016 -- The Wireless Speaker and Audio (WiSA) Association, is pleased to announce the release of the Axiim Q Media Center and wireless HD speakers.

"Axiim designed the Q Media Center and wireless HD speakers from the ground up with all aspects of the design process completed in-house," said James Hammer, Axiim CEO. "Axiim is focused on delivering WiSA compliant hardware and software solutions for both consumers and OEM partners."

“The Axiim Q System is a showcase for what the WiSA Standard enables,” said David Carlick, Interim President of the WiSA Association.

  • Interoperability: The Axiim Q Media Center and wireless HD speakers are both WiSA compliant to ensure interoperability across all WiSA compliant manufacturers. Consumers can mix and match WiSA-Certified components.
  • HD audio quality: The Axiim Q and wireless HD speakers are WiSA compliant providing up to 24bit/96kHz uncompressed high resolution audio.
  • Smaller and with less heat: The size of the Axiim Q Media Center is compact and produces less heat than traditional AV gear as a result of the wireless audio connection and moving the heat generating amplifiers into the speakers.
  • Quick setup: It takes less than 20 minutes to set up the system, which is made possible by the intuitive on-screen user interface and the simplicity of wireless audio.
  • Feature rich on-screen control: Highly integrated HDMI-CEC and rich on-screen graphics allow the user to uniquely and easily navigate the interface that controls the Q Media Center, speakers and connected devices.

  • Audio everywhere: Using the mobile apps Play-to-Mobile feature, users can play local music discovered by the Axiim Q Media Center to bluetooth speakers in other rooms in the home.
  • Nighttime calm: The Play-to-Mobile feature also allows users to stream the audio from the TV show or movie they are watching on their TV directly to their mobile device headphones, to avoid disturbing family or neighbors at night.
  • Remote control apps: Users can navigate the on-screen interface or control downstream devices using the iOS and Android apps.
