Pioneer XW-SMA1-K A1 Wi-Fi Speaker featuring AirPlay, DLNATM, HTC Connect and Wireless Direct

We’re living in a wireless world. Which is good news for music lovers, because it means now, you can wirelessly enjoy your music wherever you are. And since the smartphone has become the most essential wireless device in your day-to-day life, it was only a matter of time before someone introduced a Wi-Fi speaker with the broadest smartphone connectivity ever. 

Comprehensive Connectivity

 In the wireless world, there are many ways to connect and play, and the A1 connects to virtually all of them. Besides industry-standard DLNA compatibility over Wi-Fi, you can use AirPlay and HTC Connect to play music from your smartphone or tablet PC.

AirPlay

 AirPlay is a revolutionary way of enjoying your music anywhere in your home, and the A1 is AirPlay compatible right out of the box. Wirelessly stream music from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or your iTunes-running Mac or PC directly to the speaker. 

HTC Connect

 HTC Connect is for Android owners who, until now, have constantly asked, “What about me?”. The good news is your speaker has arrived. A Pioneer exclusive, the A1 proudly supports HTC Connect, compatible with HTC One series phones. 

DLNA Compliant

 Streaming the highest quality music from your laptop, PC, or “smart-device” is the way to the world of audiophile music enjoyment. All of Pioneer’s 2012 SMA Wireless Speakers are capable of receiving, decoding, and playing the highest quality uncompressed music files with up to 192 kHz sample rates with 24-bit resolutions.

Here’s Why Wi-Fi

 You don’t need limits, especially when it comes to your audio experience. That’s why instead of Bluetooth, Pioneer designed the A1 to be a true Wi-Fi speaker. Wi-Fi’s higher bandwidth carries more audio signal, giving you higher audio quality. 

Wireless Direct

 With Wireless Direct – a Pioneer exclusive – you can  enjoy wireless music far beyond your home’s wireless network. Wireless Direct allows for a direct wireless connection between your smartphone and the A1 speaker, without the need for a wireless router.

Tuned Personally by Andrew Jones

 The A1 has been developed from the ground up by none other than Andrew Jones, world-renowned Chief Speaker Engineer. 

Maximum Sound, Minimalist Look

Before you hear the sound, the first thing you notice about the A1 are the clean, minimalist lines of this extraordinary speaker. Its enclosed gloss black body means a fuller, less distorted sound. The timeless look of its black metal grille adds to the streamlined look, as does the perfectly integrated matte black capacitive touch control panel.
