SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WiSA® LLC, the Wireless Speaker Audio Association, founded by Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA), today announced the launch of the Tuned by THX™ Monaco 3.1 Wireless Home Audio System™ from Platin delivering a wide Wall of Sound experience. The product is the result of a broader technology partnership between THX Ltd., WiSA and Summit Wireless Technologies to develop modules and certifications to bring to Summit Wireless customers’ and partners’ higher-resolution home entertainment experiences.
The Tuned by THX Platin Monaco 3.1 Wireless Home Audio System delivers wide stereo field theater-quality sound through the widely adopted WiSA audio standard and Tuned by THX calibration that maximize the system’s audio performance. The speaker system includes the Axiim LINK Wireless Audio Transmitter that connects to Xbox One & Series X gaming systems.

The Monaco 3.1 Immersive Wireless Home Audio System is available now at Amazon with an MSRP of $699.99 and on promotional sale for a limited time for a $100 coupon deal hitting $599.99 sale for August 2020. This product comes on the heels of a similar 5.1 Platin Monaco system released last winter that continues to receive excellent reviews.
“This new WiSA Certified Monaco 3.1 system is Tuned by THX and delivers a true wall of sound experience at a very attractive price point,” noted Tony Ostrom, president of WiSA. “We are thankful for our partnership with THX enabling best-in-class audio solutions such as the Monaco 3.1. WiSA members are delivering the future of cinema-quality audio for the home at prices that accommodate more budgets thus enabling the adoption of high-end audio by a broader market.”
Key features of the Monaco 3.1 Wireless Home Audio System include:
- TUNED BY THX for superior audio quality output.
- AMAZING CINEMATIC SOUND AND CRYSTAL CLEAR DIALOG: This 3.1 speaker system consisting of four speakers spread across the front of your room creates a powerful Wall of Sound which small soundbars can’t deliver as a singular unit. Separate these speakers and immerse yourself in a high resolution wide audio field experience better than a soundbar.
- SUPER SIMPLE SETUP: Unbox, plug in, and tune the speakers with the included free Axiim LINK app to perfect your audio experience. WiSA Certified speakers using WiSA’s certified wireless technology will have you setup in minutes.
- WIRELESS HIGH RESOLUTION: No need for an expensive custom installation or running speaker wires through walls or ceilings, or across the floor. This system comes with everything you need to add cinema-quality wide field audio to your Xbox One & Series X consoles and LG WiSA Ready 2019-2020 OLED & NanoCell TVs.
THX believes that consumers should have access to great audio experiences, regardless of the environment and medium of consumption. The Platin Monaco 3.1 Wireless Home Audio System has been Tuned by THX to deliver an improved audio experience. THX worked with Summit Wireless and WiSA engineers to create a set of high-accuracy filters and functionality within the Rx (wireless receiver) modules to provide the manufacturer with advanced loudspeaker tuning capabilities.
“THX is pleased to partner with WISA on this Tuned by THX Platin Monaco 3.1 speaker system to ensure consumers experience exceptional audio with their favorite content, whether movies, music or games” said Peter Vasay, vice president, home products, THX Ltd. “This Monaco system was calibrated by our THX engineers as a continuation of our partnership with WISA to bring great wireless audio systems to market at various price points.”
