onkyo / integra / pioneer - יצאו לדרך חדשה .

[ildonaldo]

רסיבר עם DIRAC LIVE בעלות של 1000$ מריח לי קצת לא טוב. לא ההיתי ממהר לרכוש עד שההיתי קורא המון סקירות כולל תוצאות מדידה. אבל אם אכן הם הצליחו להביא את DL לעם, אז כל הכבוד להם וזה בהחלט יכול לשקם את החברה הזאת. רק חבל שהדגמים שלהם נעצרים ב 7.2 ערוצים ולא יותר מזה.

More 2021 Integra Details Revealed, Including Powerful Integration Tools, as Shipping Times Grow Closer


(June 1, 2021) 11 Trading Company (11TC) recently showcased Integra's new trio of AV receivers to partners in the custom install and integrator space, revealing new details and advanced tools rarely seen in the sub-$3,000 category. Before we dive into Integra specifics, here's a quick update on 2021's class of Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer, and Elite AV receivers:
11TC product managers have final working prototypes in-house and have paced them through extensive testing. These managers say brand engineers have remained receptive and accommodating to technology and performance requests, leading to quite a few exciting tech inclusions.
As first reported here, pricing remains undetermined as costs associated with raw materials, electronics, and shipping continue to fluctuate. It appears to have held relatively stable, with minor increases applied to select models. Still, we won't know the final numbers until shipping begins. 11TC says seven of the brands' ten models are slated to ship during July, with Integra's DRX 2.4, Onkyo's TX-NR6100, and Elite's VSX-LX105 arriving in the October/November timeframe.
11 Trading Company says that Dirac Bass Control is still a possibility. Rest assured, product managers have heard the enthusiast community's desire for its inclusion.
As for Integra, all three 2021 models have been endowed with features that make installation, integration, and servicing as convenient as possible. Some elements are physical, such as high-contrast white back panels that are easy to read in dark environments, but most involve new and improved technologies.

On the performance front, 11TC says the entire Integra line carries the latest chips from NXP. Thanks to a high-bandwidth networking protocol, these chips "stay awake" on a network and can be immediately recognized by third-party controls. Also, as previously disclosed, the receivers' HDMI 2.1 cards meet the specification's maximum requirement for hardware data transfer rates (40Gbps), allowing for single-source 8K media to be shared with two different displays, or multi-source 8K and 4K media to be shown in two different zones. Aside from HDMI 2.1's advantages for modern console gaming platforms, 11TC's product managers highlight 2.1's Quick Media Switching (QMS) feature, which eliminates frustrating "black screens" experienced during source switching with earlier versions of HDMI.

As for integration, Onkyo and 11TC have developed a new remote web browser-based set-up process for select 2019 and 2021 Integra, Elite, Onkyo, and Pioneer AV receivers. This allows installers to perform initial set-up and full customization without being in the same room as a receiver (thus, eliminating the use of a physical remote control). 11TC says this web-based tool is easy to initiate and can be performed by a single person with a computer, allowing for navigation of Initial Set-up windows, assigning inputs and outputs, defining speaker configurations, running acoustic calibration software, and much more.

Of course, web-based controls also give installers off-site access to monitoring and diagnostic tools, making remote troubleshooting and problem solving a reality.

For complete details, read 11TC's official press document (below).

Audio performance is enhanced by Dirac Live Room Calibration (which can be performed wirelessly, using a provided wired microphone and app, or with a PC and an approved USB microphone) and the inclusion of AccuEQ. New for this year is a Klipsch Reference Speaker Mode (KRSM) within AccuEQ. KRSM gives installers of 2019's Onkyo TX-NR696 and 2021's Onkyo TX-RZ50, TX-NR7100, TX-NR6100, TX-NR6050*, TX-NR5100, and Integra's DRX-5.4, DRX-3.4, and DRX-2.4 access to preferred – pre-programmed – crossover settings suggested by Klipsch Engineers for the brand's entire line of Reference speakers. This feature will become available via a firmware update later this summer.

Lastly, a feature that caught my eye is the inclusion of AptX HD Bluetooth for connection to compatible wireless headphones, which allows a receiver to stream audio content to headphones when speakers are in use or when discrete audio is needed. This not only provides owners with the ability to eliminate the use of speakers, but also allows viewers with hearing deficits to enjoy elevated volume levels while others enjoy normal volume levels.

AV NIRVANA will continue to update shipping timelines and pricing as more information becomes available.

* Onkyo's TX-NR6050 is a Costco derivative model of the 6100, which lack the THX certification of the 6100, and drops from 100W per channel to 90W per channel.




06.01.21 - New Web Setup for Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite AVRs
Onkyo Home Entertainment and 11 Trading Company have unveiled a completely updated remote, web browser-based setup and configuration tool for select 2019 and new 2021 Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer, and Pioneer Elite multi-channel home theater AVRs.

“Web Setup” allows the custom integrator access to all features and functions for the AVR over any web browser from any mobile device, regardless of operating system. This enables the CI to completely customize every feature and function of the AVR without requiring the CI to be in the same room as the AVR!

Due to the legalities surrounding the many types of included streaming services available to end-users of networked home theater components, those components require the person setting them up to first navigate a series of “Initial Setup” menu screens. These include permissions for those apps, and accepting or denying these permissions must be done before the customer can actually use the AVR. Typically, being able to read the legal disclaimers for these services requires the use of a TV screen. For many users who are installing the AVR in the same room as their home theater, this is easily accomplished by plugging in the AVR to the TV, picking up the AVR’s remote control, or pressing buttons on the AVR’s front panel, and following the on-screen instructions.

But, as is very common in custom installations, the AVR and other components are usually in a rack safely tucked away out of sight in a completely different room from the home theater. How does the CI navigate the Initial Setup menu if he or she is in front of the AVR and can’t see the TV is an upstairs room in the client’s house? Or, if the CI is in the same room as the TV, then the AVR’s front panel controls can’t be reached, and the remote control can’t be used. It can be time-consuming, stressful, and even embarrassing, to have to run back and forth in front of your client between the home theater space upstairs, and the AVR equipment rack in the basement to get this done.

Look Ma, No Hands! Web Setup to the Rescue!

Once select 2019 and 2021 Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite AVRs are connected via Ethernet to a local network, the CI can easily find the IP address of the AVR on their client’s network, then enter that address into a web browser on any mobile device such as a laptop or phone. Web Setup will automatically load in the web browser for quick and efficient configuring, all without having to ever touch the AVR, or even be in the same room!

When activated, Web Setup will always scan the AVR for its current status, and if it needs to first run through the Initial Setup’s on-screen legal permissions menus, a Virtual Remote Control will be displayed in the browser window, which can then be used to proceed through the Initial Setup menus on the client’s TV. You no longer need to relay commands to a second CI stationed in front of the AVR over a phone or walkie-talkie. Web Setup’s virtual remote is immediately ready for a single CI---or even a DIY customer---to quickly navigate through the Initial Setup options, and then move on to configuring the AVR for full use.

From that point forward, there is no need to refer to the main TV again. All features and functions of the AVR can be accessed and customized via Web Setup in the web browser of your choice.

Virtual Remote Control

Speaker Configurations

Premium Audio Company חברת בת של VOXX חתמה ביחד עם SHARP על הסכם רכישה
של ONKYO / INTEGRA ובעלי המניות של ONKYO צפויים לאשר את הסכם המכירה באספה
שנקבעה ל 25/6 .
נכון לעכשיו הסכם המכירה הוא רק עבור ONKYO / INTEGRA והסכם נפרד אמור להחתם עם
Pioneer / Pioneer Elite וזאת בגלל הסכם הרכישה בין ONKYO ל PIONEER .

(June 3, 2020) Premium Audio Company, a subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation, and Sharp have signed an Asset Purchase Agreement to jointly acquire the audio/video business of Onkyo Home Entertainment Corporation. According to VOXX, the purchase price is approximately $30.8 million (plus the assumption of liabilities), pending confirmation by an Onkyo shareholder meeting on June 25th.

Assuming the process is consummated, the VOXX and Sharp joint venture will control Onkyo’s intellectual property, brands, engineering, and manufacturing rights. Ultimately, Premium Audio Company will be responsible for all sales, marketing, and distribution of Onkyo and Integra AV products. At the same time, Sharp will resume manufacturing duties in its Malaysian plants. 11 Trading Company, a subsidiary of Premium Audio Company, will continue to handle distribution in North and South America, and Klipsch will be tasked with distribution in other parts of the world.

As of this time, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite audio/video properties (currently licensed by Onkyo) are not part of the deal, however, all parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize a new agreement.

According to Pat Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX: “This acquisition is a great addition to our Premium Audio Company. Since we established our distribution relationship in July 2020, we have seen strong demand for both Onkyo and Integra products. Sharp, our partner in this venture, brings world-class manufacturing capabilities and together, with our distribution partners and strong customer relationships, we believe we can grow this business significantly in the years ahead. While we anticipate growth this year as well, should the transaction be approved, it will take time to ramp up manufacturing lines and secure parts, which is a challenge for the industry at large. With that said, we believe over the coming years, we will restore worldwide sales resulting in strong top-line growth and improved profitability

Onkyo AV receiver matched to Klipsch brand speaker characteristics
Equipped with "Klipsch Optimized Mode" function by software update
Onkyo Home Entertainment Co., Ltd. (Location: Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture,
Representative Director), an operating company of the Onkyo Group
President: Munenori Ohtsuki) teamed up with the Klipsch brand
speaker "Reference Series" at Onkyo's AV receiver.
A software update will include a "Klipsch Optimized Mode" function
that sets the optimum sound field when combined.
I will inform you. This function started from "TX-NR696" and is
scheduled to be released this summer. 2021 new product Onkyo
We will also support land AV receivers.
■ What is Klipsch Optimized Mode?
Our AV receiver tunes the optimum viewing environment according to
the speaker and room environment, and reproduces the ideal "sound".
It is equipped with an automatic sound field correction technology
that enables. (Onkyo brand AccuEQ, and AV Les scheduled to be released this summer
(Dirac Live TM is newly installed from the sea bar ) Also, the AV
receiver is output from the speaker system including the subwoofer.
Equipped with a function called "base management" that outputs the
low frequencies to a subwoofer or main speaker with higher low
frequency reproduction capability.
We are here. The crossover frequency that determines the playback
frequency band of base management can also be set by the automatic
sound field correction function.
However, some errors may be included due to environmental factors
at the time of measurement.
This time, we conducted a joint study with Klipsch and matched the
design concept of the Klipsch brand speaker "Reference Series".
We will realize the sound field setting and install it as "Klipsch Optimized Mode" .
This mode can also be combined with the automatic sound field correction
technology described above. The automatic sound field correction has
already been performed and the crossover circumference
Customers who set the wave number and those who do not set it from the
setting menu added after the software update
By simply specifying the model number of the Reference series, the crossover
frequency becomes an ideal value instead of an estimated value, and the speaker system
The low-frequency reproduction capability can be maximized, and reproduction
that matches the design concept of Klipsch speakers is possible.
