50+

Many newer routers with auto detect work really well. But if you experience issues with your product, we advise you to disable this feature and have two visible Wi-Fi networks (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network).

Yes, with OMNI+ you can add speakers to both bands, but your smart device is not required to be on the same band, just be sure they are on the same network.

Google has licensed Chromecast to OMNI+ speakers only. Therefore, the only way to listen to TuneIn Radio on first-generation OMNI speakers is to use Bluetooth.

Yes, when out of range of your Wi-Fi network, you can use the Bluetooth or analog auxiliary connection. The OMNI 50+ has a built-in battery as well to take the speaker out of the house.

No, this is a limitation from Google that requires every speaker to have a special license. First generation OMNI speakers do not have such license.

There is a buffer inside the speakers that processes the incoming signal. This buffer delays the audio signal compared to the video signal, causing a delay. For this, we do not recommend using Omni+ speakers with a TV. Our Omni bar will work with your TV sound and you can create wireless 5.1 surround sound system with the Omni bar.

Splash proof does not mean the speaker is suitable for bathroom placement, but it does provide protection against sudden exposure.

Every home is different, so it is difficult to provide a universal guide that suits it all. What you can do is check the number of available access points in your home by performing a Wi-Fi network scan using a mobile device. Then select the Wi-Fi channel that isn't as busy as the rest. Also, check how much noise each speaker has using the Harman Kardon Controller app. Simply go into the settings menu and select "Send us feedback" to see the results, signals between -40 dB and -62 dB are considered good.

We recommend starting playback on the Omni+ speaker first, and then linking the 1st generation Omni speakers. Omni+ is more powerful and can provide more stability when restreaming to other speakers.

We do not recommend using WEP encryption method, as this can leave your Wi-Fi vulnerable to outside threats. Our OMNI+ does not support this encryption type, we are supporting WPA and up.
