Toshiba Regza TVs 1st Certified Under WiSA's SoundSend

Summit Wireless’ Wireless Speaker and Audio (WiSA) Association announced Toshiba's Regza TV brand as the first certified product under the SoundSend Certified program. The WiSA certification is an effort to bring TV makers into the WiSA ecosystem “to ensure flawless and simple connection and interoperability,” it said Wednesday. Smart TVs will receive certification after successfully testing to work with SoundSend, including all audio connection and control requirements between the SoundSend wireless audio transmitter and the smart TV, WiSA said. SoundSend, which can be connected by HDMI or optical cable, is the association’s first branded product. The $179 puck-shaped transmitter is designed to make wireless multichannel audio accessible “in minutes” from most smart TVs. WiSA estimates SoundSend will open the WiSA speaker market to more than 1 billion TVs by year-end.
