The barrier to surround sound

The wired approach works, but it costs you holes in the wall and a professional install. Cables to run and permanent placements.

That is the real price of wired surround. Not the hardware. The setup. Every speaker you add is another run of cable and another thing to hide. splitR® skips the whole job. No receiver, no cable, no time to waste.

Wireless multi-room sound promised the end of cable runs, then handed you a new job. Now sound depends on router coverage. On a signal that reaches the back bedroom, the edge of your restaurant, or which likely does not. On another app, another login somebody has to remember, and another surface that needs to be secured. The music stops being about the music and starts being about the network.

And it only works where you have a network. Looking for sound at the beach, the campsite, the outdoor wedding venue, and it is over. splitR® creates its own secure and wide-reaching network, which is why it works everywhere, under any circumstance.

A restaurant owner wants music in the dining room, on the patio, and at the bar, at the right level in each. What the market offers instead is an AV contractor, a proposal, a rewire, and a system not a single staff can be expected to know how to work. Larger properties have it worse: clubhouse, pool deck, tennis courts, event lawn, half of it outdoors where the WiFi was never going to reach anyway.

splitR Pro™ is built for that job. One venue hub runs up to nine independent streams at once, so the patio can be quiet while the bar is loud and the private room runs its own playlist. It takes the sources you already have through HDMI ARC, Ethernet, 6.35mm and 3.5mm, and WiFi with AirPlay 2. Units link over Ethernet to cover a whole property, indoors and out. No new speaker wire through finished walls. No network build for the grounds. Staff get simple controls that survive turnover.

splitR® is a portable transceiver, about $99. Plug it into a speaker's 3.5mm or USB-C port and that speaker joins a wireless broadcast. One source, many speakers, in sync. No receiver, no cable runs, no router. It works at home the same way it works in the most remote place you can imagine, because there is no network to depend on.

The math is simple. A speaker that already supports broadcast audio joins on its own. An older speaker needs its own splitR® to come along. Most people start with the speakers they already own and add units as they go. And when you want true surround with each speaker on its own channel, that is splitR Pro™, not the consumer unit.
