Pioneer announced three new wireless music systems, the XW-SMA1, XW-SMA3 and XW-SMA4. All of them support Apple’s AirPlay, DLNA 1.5 and Pioneer’s own Wireless Direct wireless technologies that make wireless music streaming easy.
With AirPlay, these speakers can wirelessly stream music from iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and computers running iTunes; and support for HTC Connect enables them to stream audio from HTC One series smartphones. DLNA allows users to push music content from DLNA-compatible devices, including mobile devices and PC/Mac computers. Pionner’s SMA series speakers also feature Pioneer’s Wireless Direct technology, which allows the speaker to act as its own Wi-Fi wireless access point.
The XW-SMA1 and XW-SMA3 both sport dual 10w+10w amplifiers, dual 3-inch speakers and a 20mm soft dome tweeter, and uses a tuned bass reflex port to enhance bass response. The latter adds a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery that provides up to 6 hours of playback, and a tough exterior for added convenience and portability. The XW-SMA4 packs five speakers, including dual 3-inch midrange speakers, a dedicated 4-inch subwoofer and dual 3/4-inch soft dome tweeters; and triple 10w + 10w + 20w amplifiers.
