The technology running the products, DTS Play-Fi, is a new platform of audio connectivity, designed as the new standard for all future manufacturers to allow seamless wireless interaction between products that support this standard. Think Airplay, but for all devices, not just Apple. With the W Series you can tune into Spotify, Pandora, and internet radio using the Play-Fi App.

The three trends for networked home audio include ease of connectivity, content flows and multi-zone with multi-source home audio. Also, music quality has caught up with TV and you can listen to HD music (24 bit). These future trends for music are all met with the new Definitive Technology W Series.

The new range includes one wireless soundbar and subwoofer, two sound cubes, one network amplifier and one network bridge, and supports Android and iOS.

The W Studio soundbar system is Definitive Technology’s flagship wireless soundbar that perfectly blends high-performance theater sound with hi-resolution musical reproduction. The W Studio’s purposefully slim design (only 3.5” deep) is only overshadowed by its fit and finish, featuring solid aluminum end caps. The W Studio uses Definitive Technology’s proprietary Spatial Array technology that aids in creating a high-definition, room-filling 5.1 channel surround sound experience. The compact wireless subwoofer creates waves of big bass via its downward firing 8-inch woofer, bass port and robust 200W amplifier. HDMI switching for both audio and video maximises this home theater’s high performance potential.

The W7 is Definitive Technology’s ultra-compact, audiophile-grade wireless speaker, perfect for those who won’t compromise on performance, even in smaller living spaces. The W7’s “Tri-Polar” configuration radiates sound off of surrounding walls and gives it the unique cube-shape design. As a result, the soundstage is broad and natural timbre can be heard throughout a room.

The W9 is Definitive Technology’s flagship audiophile-grade wireless speaker. Created for audio aficionados with unrelenting performance expectations, the W9 delivers exceptional dynamic range and extraordinary bass response. Transducers on the front baffle and on both sides of the enclosure create a “Tri-Polar” dispersion pattern that radiates sound off of the surrounding walls.

Now you can play all the music on the internet through your favorite component loudspeakers with the Definitive Technology W Amp. It’s a wireless streaming amplifier that delivers an audiophile-grade high-current digital signal with a power rating of 150 watts x 2 channels. Included are customized EQ settings for optimizing the performance when paired with Definitive Technology speakers, plus line level Subwoofer output and Left and Right channel line level inputs and outputs.

Definitive Technology’s W Adapt is an easy, simple upgrade that transforms virtually any audio system into a streaming music system. The W Adapt connects easily with nearly any home theater receiver using the latest digital and analogue connections. Hookups include an auxiliary input to connect to Blu-ray, DVD or cable/satellite box, digital outputs for connecting to a receiver, an optical input to connect from a TV and much more.

“Households are increasingly using multiple devices, enjoying a broad range of music services, and demanding higher quality whole-home listening experiences. Bluetooth can’t deliver that, single platform solutions can’t deliver that, and closed architectures from single brands can’t deliver that. DTS’ Play-Fi Technology can,” says Definitive Technology.

The current world we live in, we demand ease of connectivity and future music systems are meeting these demands with wireless and easy setup. Gone are the days of receivers considered the hub of audio systems. Future systems like Definitive Technology W Series are essentially plug and play, making them easy to use and quick to set up.

The Definitive Technology W Series integrates with automation and allows all products to talk to each other. Setup is simple and uses the existing Wi-fi network (making it multi-zone with multi-source home audio). It is controlled by the Definitive Technology App which is accessible on smartphone, tablet, PC or proprietary control device.

The free Definitive Technology App allows you to mix-and-match speakers with the open PlayFi™ Technology standard and future-proof your home music solution. The Definitive Technology Utility App provides extended functionality, including product firmware updates, source selection (if applicable) and EQ settings for the W Amp and W Adapt.

Design, both aesthetic and function, are in line with current trends. The Definitive Technology W Series is designed to fit into your lifestyle, home and budget. The W Series gives you more audio, in more rooms, for less money with superior audio quality. The new W Series is portable, omni-directional and innovative. Multiple Grammy Award winner, John Legend, is Definitive Technology’s official brand ambassador.

“There’s a fine line between loving music and being obsessed with it. When it comes to making music sound the best it can sound, we have a hard time believing that good enough is acceptable. It has to be flawless. Perfect. Uncompromising. In short, we think it would be crazy to give music anything less than everything it deserves,” says Definitive Technology.

Easy expandability to more zones and more sources, is 24 bit compatible, sleek modern design suits modern living spaces. Definitive’s design direction is sleek, modern, and minimalistic, which is reflected across their entire range of product. The speakers produce sound like the musician intended for it to be heard.
