  • Connecting ADAPT to the analog output of my BDS, delay occurs between OMNI sound and BDS speaker sound. How come?
    The BDS 235 and 535 owner's manual states that you need an ADAPT to make your system wireless. You do it by connecting the BDS system's analog outputs to the ADAPT's analog AUX input. The ADAPT will then re-stream to your OMNI speakers wirelessly. However, if you listen to the OMNI speakers, and want to listen to the music directly from the BDS system at the same time, there will be a delay in the sound from the OMNI speakers. The BDS speakers will play the music first, and since the ADAPT needs to process the data wirelessly, a delay results. To avoid delay, please mute the BDS system, or connect from the ADAPT line-out to the BDS AUX in instead of the other way around. With this setup, you can only play to the BDS from an OMNI speaker, which will not be delayed in sound.
  • CITATION SERIES: WiSA Technology & Compatibility

    General information about WiSA:

    WiSA is a wireless system designed specifically for audio and speakers. An audio system that incorporates WiSA technology has it's own internal wireless system. It is capable of doing 96kHz/24bit audio with an audio latency of only 5ms, virtually undetectable by the human ear.

    For more information on WiSA technology, please go to the official WiSA website.

    If a product is WiSA Certified, it can be used with any other WiSA certified product. For example a WiSA Ready TV with at transmitter.
    Note: The overall sound quality is dependent on the processing and setup in the WiSA TV & transmitter, and may result in a performance (EQ, crossover and levels) not intended by the speaker manufacturer. To be sure that the Citation products sound the best, use a Citation Bar product as the main "hub".


    WiSA Certified products:

    Harman Kardon Citation Surrounds
    Harman Kardon Citation Sub
    Harman Kardon Citation Sub S
    Harman Kardon Citation Towers


    Products making use of WiSA technology (not certified):

    Harman Kardon Citation Bar
    Harman Kardon Citation Multibeam 700
    Harman Kardon Citation Multibeam 1100
    Harman Kardon Citation Amp
    Harman Kardon Surround


    Limitations:

    WiSA does not offer 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X yet, so at the moment it is limited to 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Digital. So regardless of which brand of WiSA speaker you choose, Dolby Atmos will not be available yet.
