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:

Citation Surrounds
Citation Sub
Citation Sub S
Citation Towers

Products making use of WiSA technology (not certified):

Citation Bar
Citation Multibeam 700
HK 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.

What’s New

1. Security improvements
2. Performance improvements

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.

The ADAPT+ is made to connect an external subwoofer. The subwoofer needs to be an active device, which means that it must have its own, built-in amplifier.

It is possible to connect a turntable to the AUX input of the Radiance 2400. Depending on the turntables output specifications, a phono-preamplifier will in most cases be necessary to connect in-between.

If the remote control stopped working, please check if the batteries are drained. If so, replace them with new ones.

The remote control may have failed to connect with the digital hub. On the touchscreen, tap “Options” > “Remote Control”, then follow the onscreen instructions to pair with the digital hub again.

Developed for HARMAN Professional Solutions, this technology ensures every listener in the room enjoys the same exhilarating sound experience via precisely-tuned beam-forming components. HARMAN’s revolutionary technology uniquely unites 24 precisely calibrated 1.25” transducers in each of the elegant Radiance speakers to deliver the same superior sound coverage from corner to corner. 

If you encounter an "Internal error 300" error message when using Deezer from inside our HK Controller app, we advise you to log out of your account and log in again, still in the Controller app. The error message is a communication error between speaker and Deezer server. If you still encounter this after you have logged in again, please consult our helpdesk.

Harman Kardon Radiance 2400 uses patented Constant Beamwidth Technology (CBT) with 24 drivers to create an all-new listening experience. Typical loudspeakers have very narrow sound dispersion in the mid-range and high frequencies, making a very narrow sweet spot for one listener. On the other hand, CBT delivers room-filling sound dispersion and a resulting wide sweet spot, so everyone in the room has great listening experience. The use of CBT allowed us to reduce the cabinet size dramatically. This resulted in a very sleek loudspeaker that does not compromise on sound but looks even better when compared to bulky wooden floor-standing speakers in combination with large AV components.

Yes, no matter if Aura is in Sleep mode or Standby mode, an incoming Bluetooth signal will wake it up.

The Adapt connects to an active speaker or amplifier via the 3.5mm Audio Out jack. It acts a receiving point for Wi-Fi audio streams, upgrading existing audio equipment to work in the Harman Kardon Wireless HD Audio System.

No, this feature is not yet embedded into our Harman Kardon Allure speaker. Future updates might include this feature, therefore keep an eye on the release notes in our HK Alexa setup app.

Yes, there are three settings: high, low and off.

Yes. The auxiliary audio input connection is located in the back below the radiator between the feet.

The case does not have a spearate pocket for the charging cable, but it will fit into the case together with the speaker.

No. This product has wireless bluetooth.

The carrying-case is not designed to protect against accidental blows or being dropped.

ESQUIRE2 support A2DP Audio Codec, and normally that is enough for a Bluetooth driver to make it work with your PC. You will have to find a Bluetooth driver that supports A2DP Audio Codec.

The Harman Kardon Allure speaker listens for the hotword "Alexa", and when our speaker detects it then it will open up a connection to the Amazon server and store your search history on your account. You can mute the mircrophone by tapping the Microphone button on the Allure speaker, this will stop the speaker from listening and will not react to Alexa until you unmute it.

Bluetooth keeps on playing, even if you connect something and play to the AUX input. BT keeps on playing, since it has first priority. If you pause or stop BT play, any source playing to the AUX input will now be heard. If you resume play on the BT source, it will take over, and the AUX source is no longer heard, but will of course keep on playing, since there is no way to send a pause or stop signal to the AUX source via the line cable. All of this means that there is an input selector switch built into the device, controlled by the BT play function.

PureVoice is designed to work with audio on the HDMI input. It is not active for Wi-Fi music or Bluetooth sources.
 

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

Yes, the ADAPT outputs stereo audio via the line-level, 3.5mm stereo mini-jack output.

Yes, The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 2 supports Harman Dual Sound. With this feature, you can connect 2 Dual Sound enabled speakers with eachother.

Yes, When connected by Bluetooth from an iOS or Android device, pressing and holding the Bluetooth button for more than 2 seconds on the Aura Studio 2, the Voice Command will open ( iOS > Siri, Android > Google Now )

Yes, The Harman Kardon Aura Studio supports Social mode. With this feature, you can connect up to 3 mobile devices simultaneously by Bluetooth. The last device to start playback will take over.

The product does not have a built-in voice assistant. However, the product works with other voice-enabled products supporting Google Voice Assistant or Amazon Alexa.

No, the Citation speaker does not store any conversations, it listens only for a few seconds and then deletes the file. Only when using "OK, Google" or "Hey, Google" will it start recording your question in order for Google Assistant to fulfill your request. You can always delete all your recordings via "My activity" settings under your Google Account.

No this case is only made to fit Esquire 2

The Harman/Kardon SB20 is an easy connectable soundbar for your TV. It only has outputs for TV connection, and we advise to connect all other HDMI sources to your TV instead.

Harman Kardon Allure/portable will only work in selected countries such as United States, Germany, United Kingdom and soon France. To use the Allure on your network requires two different apps. 1. HK Alexa setup - To connect it to your Wi-Fi network (Only available in the countries above) 2. Amazon Alexa app - To control Alexa and add streaming services to your Allure speaker. However, in some countries, French, German or English is spoken, but you still cannot use the Allure, because the Amazon Alexa app cannot be downloaded. This is a decision made by Amazon. The Alexa app is only available in some countries, and this is not only dependent on language. Therefore, if you plan on buying an Allure speaker, and have it shipped to a country outside the selected regions, you will not be able to use it on Wi-Fi, and Alexa voice commands will not work. Only Amazon knows if and when they will extend the app availability to more countries.

No, this feature is not supported in our Harman Kardon Allure speaker. This might change with future updates. You can write text messages to your Amazon friends via the Alexa app.

No, since the OMNI BAR+ does not have any HDMI input connections, it is only your source, connected to the TV, (and of course your TV) that need to be 4K compatible.

Yes, press and hold the Surround button on the OMNI BAR+ until it starts to blink amber. You are now in pairing mode. Press Volume+ on your OMNI BAR+, then press Volume+ on your remote control. The surround button will quickly flash white, to indicate it has learned Volume+. Repeat for Volume-, and Mute, and then hold down the Surround button to exit remote control learning.

No, the HDMI connection is used for audio return channel only, there is no on-screen display function to show settings on the TV screen.

Yes, this headphone features a one button microphone that gives you the ability to pause/play, skip tracks, and answer/hang up phone calls.

This speaker supports both Samsung Bixby and Amazon Alexa voice assistant. You have the ability to setup both voice assistants and run both of them concurrently.

You will not be charged for ground shipping. Expedited shipping costs are based upon total weight and service availability.

No, the ALLURE PORTABLE has a Micro USB charging port on it, so you can charge it without the docking station using any USB charger with a charge rating of 2.3 amps or higher. A charger with a slightly lower rating, below 2.3 amps, will also work, but the charging time will increase.

No, simply turn on your AVR device and make sure it is connected to your network and the mobile device is on the same network. Open your Spotify app and select the Spotify Connect logo, and your AVR device should be visible. Select the AVR device and play Spotify music through your system.

We do not ship internationally.

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.

Yes, a phone with GPS capabilities is needed so that the Vi Fitness app can start and stop workouts, track biometrics, measure and store data, track features like elevation and location, and play music during training. We support iOS (9+) and Android OS (Lollipop +) devices however we recommend having the latest OS on any device for the best Vi experience.

The Onyx Studio 7 features Dual Wireless Sound which allows you to connect two Onyx Studio 7 speakers together for a more powerful listening experience. Please note: You cannot connect the Onyx Studio 7 to other Onyx Studio speakers such as the Onyx Studio 6 and 5. 

It's normal that music will be interrupted for one or two seconds when entering Wireless Dual Sound mode. The two compatible speakers are synchronizing with each other during this connection process. Once they are in sync you will not experience any further interruption.

The SmartThings app works with Alexa and can be used to control compatible products such as light bulbs, on/off switches, dimmer switches, thermostats, locks, and Scenes configured with the SmartThings app. To use your speaker to control these smart devices, follow these steps:

1. Go to the speaker's page in the SmartThings app.
2. Select Menu (3 dots on the top right corner).
3. Select "Settings".
4. Select "SmartThings with Alexa".
5. Tap "Allow" to let Alexa to access all your compatible home devices.
6. Select "Link".
7. Tap "Done".
