Now the music doesn’t stop no matter where you are in your home. Simply set up multiple speakers and enjoy wireless room filling sound at the touch of a button. Play different music in different rooms or stream the same song throughout your house with party mode. Our app and Bluetooth capability let you access any music from your phone or your favorite apps seamlessly.

Stream your favorite classical music to one room while streaming rock to another. Multiple streams keep everyone happy.
Walk from one room to another and your favorite music will follow at the touch of a button.
Use the Harman Kardon app to stream your favorite music anywhere in your home. Control and configure your HD audio system wirelessly via the app with no cable connection required.
Start a party and jump right in! When multiple songs are playing wirelessly, one button press cycles through them all so you can pick your favorite. One long press of the button starts party mode with every speaker playing back the same music. Room to room control made easy without the need to use your phone or tablet.
Unlike other wireless streaming systems, the Harman Kardon Omni 20 supports 24bit / 96kHz Studio Quality HD audio streaming. Enjoy a superior audio experience, higher resolution than from a CD.
More music, more flexibility, more fun . With this feature, any app (for example iTunes Radio or Spotify) is part of the Harman Kardon whole home audio experience. Use Bluetooth and the Omni 20 will re-stream your music to other speakers in the house.
Group speakers together for an immersive same room wireless sound experience. A pair of Harman Kardon Omni 20 can be used as part of a stereo or multi-channel speaker system.
Connect your audio device or anything via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm mini-jack to your Omni 20 and the speaker will automatically translate the signal to Wi-Fi and stream its sound all over your house for a truly flexible whole home audio experience.
You can connect an OMNI 10 or Omni 20 to your TV set, and use them listen to the TV sound or movie soundtrack. You should use a wired connection from either a fixed line-level output on the TV, or from the TV’s headphone output. It is perfectly possible to add a second OMNI speaker for stereo use, through additional wiring, via signal splitters also known as Y-splitters. When re-streaming the TV sound wirelessly from one Omni speaker to other Omni speakers in the house, the audio signal will be slightly delayed compared to the video signal.

FAQs & How-Tos

19 results
  • Can a router with auto detect feature work or do I need to split up my WiFi bands for OMNI+ speakers?
    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).
  • Can I use an Omni+ speaker and a 1st generation Omni speaker together in a stereo pair?
    No, stereo pairs must be two of the same type of speaker. For example, two Omni 10 or two Omni 10+ speakers will work, but not one Omni 10 and one Omni 10+.
  • Can I use my OMNI+ device without the HK Controller App?
    Streaming via Bluetooth or direct aux in connection are supported without the HK Controller app. For OMNI+ devices that you already have placed in a room, they are capable of using either Spotify Connect or Chromecast built-in without the need of using the HK Controller app. Use only the HK Controller app for setting up any OMNI+ devices you may have.
  • Can OMNI stream FM radio or TV audio from one OMNI to another OMNI?
    This is not supported at this time, but the upcoming Omni+ speakers will support Google Chromecast built-in, which has support for many Internet radio services such as TuneIn Radio.
  • Deezer shows an error message when I open it in the HK Controller app.
    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.
  • How can I reset my Omni+ speaker(s)?
    There is a reset button on the bottom of the Omni+ devices. Press and hold this button for 5 seconds to perform a factory reset of your product. All product settings, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections will be erased. To reset the OMNI 50+ speaker, please do the following: First, press & hold ‘Source’, ‘Vol+’, ‘Vol-‘ buttons at the same time. The Omni 50+ will switched off, indicating that the product was successful reset. Secondly, press ‘power' button to turn on power for the Omni 50+ speaker. Now you can easily set up the product again for your home Wi-Fi network.
  • How does it work?
    Each speaker, adaptor and phone/tablet connects to your home Wi-Fi network, just like any other Wi-Fi produce you own. You can then stream any music from your phone/tablet to any Omni speaker or Adapt over your home network
  • I'm having trouble setting up my speaker to a Wi-Fi network with WEP encryption.
    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.
  • I'm having trouble with setting up a Wi-Fi extender network with my Omni 10+, Omni 20+ or Omni 50+
    Make sure you disable AP/Client isolation on your Access Point / Extender and that Multicast forwarding is not disabled between the W-Fi networks. However, we cannot guarantee than streaming will work flawless as Extender networks are tricky and can cause many issues. Always use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network extender for best results.
  • I can not play music to my Omni speakers using a Huawei phone with HK Controller app. Is there any way to fix this?
    Unfortunately, some Huawei phones are not able to stream music from the HK Controller app to 1st generation Omni speakers. However, the new Omni 10+, 20+, and 50+ have fixed this issue, and you will be able to stream music to them using your Huawei phone.
