Audio Cu Replaces AVR and Speaker Cables for Dolby Atmos Certified Sound

by October 01, 2024

I've seen many ways of transmitting sound without using speaker cables in my 20+ years at Audioholics. Flat roofs, concrete outer walls, and super critical customers can be an installers nightmare when it comes to speaker cable installation. Sometimes, wireless speakers may be the only option; or is it? I recall seeing sound transmitted through your home's power lines years ago at one of the audio trade shows. A quick search revealed that ALL of them are no longer in business.  Now, Fasetto Inc., a company dedicated to finding new audio solutions since 2013, has come up with AUDIO Cu.  AUDIO Cu is the first-ever system to deliver high-resolution Dolby Digital and Dolby Atmos audio over existing power lines. The technology allows homeowners to enjoy "premium audio experiences without the need for cumbersome speaker wires or complicated setups". AUDIO Cu utilizes the power lines already running through your home. Fasetto claims that AUDIO Cu makes it easier than ever to set up a home theater system, saving users time, money, and frustration.

The game-changing nature of AUDIO Cu was recently recognized when Fasetto earned Dolby Product Certification for the solution. As the first company to achieve certification for a sound-over-power-lines product, Fasetto solidified its place at the forefront of audio innovation. Dolby Laboratories rigorously tested and approved AUDIO Cu for its quality and design, ensuring that the product meets the high standards Dolby users expect.

“Dolby Product Certification marks a major milestone for Fasetto and our AUDIO Cu solution,” said Coy Christmas, founder and CEO of Fasetto. “Users can now hear Dolby-certified high-resolution Dolby Digital and Dolby Atmos audio through speakers connected across power lines, without the hassle of dealing with cables, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth placement issues and latency.”

Innovative Sound Delivery Without the Hassle

AUDIO Cu’s proprietary technology completely replaces the traditional audio video receiver (AVR), providing a seamless solution for distributing sound to speakers and subwoofers throughout the home. The system can support up to 10 different audio channels per setup, allowing for configurations ranging from basic 2.0 stereo systems to immersive 9.1 surround sound, including Dolby Atmos setups as advanced as 7.1.2. With AUDIO Cu, users can enjoy a fully immersive soundscape that enhances their favorite movies, music, and video games.

Fasetto’s solution is designed with versatility in mind, allowing users to customize their home audio setups by using virtually any wired speakers. As long as the speakers feature traditional positive (red) and negative (black) terminals, they can be connected to the AUDIO Cu system, enabling complete freedom when choosing speakers based on personal preference rather than being locked into a specific brand.

Certified Performance and Unmatched Sound Quality

Dolby Laboratories’ rigorous certification process ensures that AUDIO Cu delivers a pristine listening experience. With full Dolby Digital® and Dolby Atmos® sound, the system delivers Hi-Res audio that adapts dynamically to the content being played, making users feel as though they are part of the action. Whether enjoying the subtle nuances of a quiet scene or the full impact of a dynamic soundscape, AUDIO Cu guarantees precise and immersive audio.

Fasetto has gone to great lengths to ensure that the system performs flawlessly over power lines, spending three years overcoming the technical challenges of transmitting high-quality audio in this way. AUDIO Cu is able to detect noise or interference on power lines and adjust the way audio data is sent, ensuring there is no packet loss or latency. This means that the system delivers perfect sound quality no matter the environment.

Dr. Miroslave Dokic, vice president of business development at RT-RK, a premier embedded software development company that partnered with Fasetto, praised the achievement: “AUDIO Cu revolutionizes the immersive audio market in so many different ways. Now, having obtained Dolby product-level certification, AUDIO Cu is ready to hit the audio market with full force.”

A Flexible and Environmentally Friendly Audio Solution

AUDIO Cu empowers users to set up their home or event audio systems with ease, offering support for up to 32 speakers and subwoofers within a single household. The system is not only ideal for home theater enthusiasts but also perfect for event setups, where high-quality sound and flexibility are essential. Users can control individual speakers or entire systems using a mobile app available for both Apple® and Android™ devices, allowing for easy adjustments and access to a variety of audio presets and listening modes.

Beyond performance, AUDIO Cu also has a positive environmental impact by significantly reducing the need for copper wiring. This reduction in materials helps lower manufacturing waste, logistical pollution, and overall carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.

The Future of Home Audio Connectivity Has Arrived

Fasetto’s AUDIO Cu is poised to change the way we think about home and event audio systems. With the ability to transmit high-resolution sound over power lines, users can enjoy a premium audio experience without the complications of traditional setups. Whether setting up a simple stereo or an advanced Dolby Atmos® system, AUDIO Cu makes it easy, flexible, and environmentally friendly.

Thanks to its groundbreaking technology and Dolby certification, AUDIO Cu stands at the forefront of audio innovation, delivering an unparalleled experience that is both powerful and convenient. As Fasetto continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in home audio, the future of immersive sound has officially arrived.
