There are different methods of transferring an audio signal throughout a setup. Aside from Wi-fi and Bluetooth, there’s audio over power line. Fasetto is one of the leading companies that offer this technology, and its Audio Cu solution is the first sound over power line solution to gain Dolby Atmos certification.
As the name suggests, sound over power line technology actually uses your house’s power line to transfer the audio signal. You’ll plug your audio source into a converter that plugs directly into an electrical outlet. The signal will travel to another converter that plugs right into your speakers.
Sound over power line technology is a solution that eliminates the hassle of dealing with cords lying around. It’s a convenient technology, but it’s had some roadblocks over the years. Companies have tried to find ways to increase the quality of the signal traveling through the power line.
Fasetto’s Audio Cu technology is the first sound over power line solution to earn Dolby Atmos
Fasetto is an Arizona-based company that develops several innovative technologies for our connected world. Among the technologies it’s developed, the company has its Audio Cu solution. This is its sound over power line solution. Fasetto has been working on pushing the technology forward, and it recently hit a major milestone.
The company announced that Audio Cu is the first-ever sound over power line solution to gain certification from Dolby Laboratories. This is pretty major, and it’s a testament to the company’s top-of-the-line technology. So, people who use Audio Cu devices will experience high-fidelity audio. Not only that, but they’ll also experience minimal latency.
Benefits of using Audio Cu
The beauty of this technology is that you don’t have to rely on wireless communication like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With Wi-Fi, you need to have an internet connection, so if your internet goes out for some reason, can’t listen to music.
As for its benefits over Bluetooth, the receiver is able to decode the signal to match the audio source flawlessly. So, the signal doesn’t need to be compressed like it does with Bluetooth. You’re going to be hearing bit-perfect audio.
As if that’s not good enough, the Audio Cu receivers can actually detect noise or interference on the line and find the best way to send the packets to the speakers. They can send audio to up to 10 channels per audio system in any configuration 2.0 to 9.1. This includes Dolby Atmos up to 7.1.2. Lastly, the Audio Cu receiver can handle up to 32 different channels split between different systems in one environment.
Compatibility
The Audio Cu is a plug-and-play platform that’s easy to set up and use. It works with different speakers and you can integrate it into your existing audio system. Using the dedicated mobile app, you’ll have control over your audio system. You can get the app on both Android and iOS.
It’s actually good for the environment
One of the best benefits of using an Audio Cu device is that it can reduce our carbon footprint. The majority of the copper transferring the audio signal already exists in your home’s wiring. You won’t need to use or buy additional external wiring to connect the speakers. This helps reduce the amount of copper companies need to manufacture.
If more people adopt sound over power line technology, it can have an impact on the amount of copper we need to mine and process. It’s a small step we could make to reduce pollution.
Fasetto made history with this milestone. Thanks to it and its partner RT-RK, an embedded software development company, the audio market is poised to make a shift.
