LAS VEGASContinuing the theme we've been seeing a lot of here at CES 2008, Thiel Audio announced its Thielnet wireless audio technology on Monday.
Designed to work in unison with a number of new products, the company envisions the ThielNet system to encompass five devices all operating together to provide wireless high-quality audio throughout the home.
At the heart of the system is the Thielnet dB1, a networkable, IP-addressable audio processing unit capable of decoding numerous digital signals including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx, and DTS. You then can connect speaker modules such as the Thielnet SCS4D bookshelf loudspeaker or Thielnet SS1D subwoofer to create a comprehensive wireless audio system.
If you love the speakers you already own, Thiel provides a Thielnet dS1 device which accepts any standard speaker model. Even better, the Thielnet Streamer PC-based software application lets you connect your computer to the network. The Thielnet system supports either 5.1 channel surround sound or 2 channel stereo audio.
All this convenience of shuttling audio around the house shouldn't impact audio quality, though, according to Jim Thiel co-founder, co-owner, and product design engineer for Thiel. According to Thiel, what's important to us is the quality of sound we're producing".
