System Audio Silverback 1 Wireless System Launched
System Audio's Silverback 1 compact WiSA system promises smart wireless connectivity and room-filling sound.
System Audio's Silverback 1 is a slim A4-sized active speaker pair of speakers designed for discreet wireless operation in concert with the 'Stereo Hub' WiSA transmitter and control centre.
Launched at the recent UK Hi-Fi Show Live 2023, the Silverback 1 system promises a large, detailed soundstage without the physical in-room footprint with the Stereo Hub and a smartphone “capable of delivering room-filling wireless audio up to 24/192 resolution from any source” states the Danish brand. Sources include network players, PCs, CD players, games consoles, turntables and TVs.
Each two-way Silverback 1 active speaker marries a specially designed 5.5-inch woofer and waveguided 1-inch soft dome tweeter with twin 80W power amplifiers within a white or black satin cabinet (including built-in wall bracket), measuring just 31 x 32.5 x 13.5 cm.
The Silverback 1s will pair wirelessly with any WiSA-enabled device (Primare's SC15 network player/DAC, for instance) but are intended to partner with System Audio's 4.1 x 17 x 10 cm Stereo Hub handing you access to Roon Ready, Google Chromecast, Apple Airplay 2, Bluetooth, DLNA UPnP and Spotify Connect built-in, as well as USB Audio SP/DIF 24/192, HDMI ARC, 3 optical inputs, coax digital and 2 analogue inputs.
Alternatively, System Audio's new 'Surround Hub' will allow the Silverback 1s (and other Silverback speakers) to be part of a WiSA-enabled Dolby Atmos home cinema system with up to 8 channels of 24/96 resolution audio.
The System Audio Silverback 1 system is available from November 2023, priced at £1,799 for a pair of Silverback 1 speakers and £399 for the Stereo Hub and Remote Control.
