Wireless technology

Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless computer network technology that lets you operate an indoor broadband network. It can be used to connect communicating devices together and exchange data. Thanks to Wi-Fi, it is possible to create local networks and to connect so any type of peripheral with a high-speed connection at a distance of several tens of metres.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio link. It connects a wide range of electronic equipment without requiring additional cables. Furthermore, it extends the communication possibilities for mobile phones and a large number of devices. The Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) profile uses the same radio frequencies and can be used to send music tracks from one device to another.

NXT*
NXT* is an innovative technology in acoustic design. It uses a very flat membrane, panel, which vibrates and disperses a very broad sound field. So the NXT* technology gives an incredible flexibility of location in the room.
