Hands on with Polk and Definitive Technology’s wireless multi-room speakers

Polk and Definitive technology have been in the speaker-making game for decades. As both companies were launched in part by legendary speaker designer Sandy Gross, both have a storied lineage of producing outstanding, award-winning products. But when it comes to incorporating new technologies, sometimes seasoned speaker companies are slow to catch up. Fortunately for all of us, that’s not the case here.

It should come as no surprise that Polk and Def Tech decided to take on Sonos in the wireless mult-room audio space, but how they’ve gone about doing it is interesting indeed. Based on the Play-Fi wireless system, both brands’ speakers are capable of high-res audio up to 192kHz/24-bit. That means there’s no audio file they can’t handle.

While we weren’t able to get a close listen to Polk’s speakers, we did get some ears-on time with Definitive Technologies, and we can sum up the experience in one word: powerful.

Check out the video above for details on the complete lineup from both brands.

Intriguingly, all three models of Denon Home speakers will come equipped with two microphones for future voice assistant support. However, these microphones will be disabled and not functional until a future software update is available, according to the company. Denon has not yet indicated which voice assistants will be compatible with these new speakers.

Enclave Audio’s CineHome Pro is the first THX-certified wireless speaker system
enclave audio cinehome pro thx certified wireless speakers family shot off center

2020 is shaping up to be the year of the wireless home theater thanks to WiSA -- a wireless home theater technology -- and companies like Enclave Audio which is using WiSA to create home theater systems. Enclave's new $1,500 CineHome Pro is one of two new wireless 5.1 systems the company is announcing today and it's also the first wireless 5.1 home theater system to be granted the THX Certification for integrated systems.

The second system is the $1,000 CineHome II, a slightly less powerful version of the CineHome Pro that is not THX Certified. Both systems come with a full complement of speakers: Two front speakers, a center channel, two surround speakers, and a sub-woofer. Because these are WiSA-certified speakers, they're compatible with any WiSA transmitter. So if you already own an existing WiSA transmitter, you can place these speakers around your living room and have them set up in minutes -- no speaker cables or A/V receiver required. If you don't own a WiSA transmitter, Enclave's CineHub is available as a $100 add-on to either the CineHome Pro or the CineHome II.
