The Platin Milan 5.1 Surround Sound System is a wireless home theater system that delivers immersive surround sound without the hassle of cables. It consists of four satellite speakers, one center speaker, and one subwoofer that connect wirelessly to a WiSA SoundSend transmitter that plugs into your smart TV.
Features and Performance
- WiSA Technology: The system is WiSA certified, which means it uses uncompressed 24-bit 48 kHz audio signal to deliver high-quality sound with low latency and interference.
- Easy Setup and Customization: The system is easy to set up and use. You just need to plug in the power cords for each speaker and the transmitter, and then pair them using the SoundSend app on your phone. The app also lets you customize the sound settings, such as volume, bass, treble, and speaker distance. You can also adjust the sound modes for different types of content, such as movies, music, or games.
- Clear and Balanced Sound: The system delivers clear and balanced sound across all channels, with crisp dialogues from the center speaker and realistic effects from the surround speakers. The subwoofer provides deep and punchy bass that enhances the overall impact of the sound. The system supports various audio formats, such as Dolby HD and Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy theatrical sound quality at home.
Design and Compatibility
- Compact and Sleek Speakers: The system is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms, where you can place the speakers around your seating area without worrying about wires. The speakers are sleek and compact, with a black matte finish that blends in with any decor. The subwoofer is thin and can be hidden under the couch or behind a curtain.
- No Remote Control or HDMI Input: The system has some drawbacks, however. It does not come with a remote control, so you have to use your phone or TV remote to adjust the volume or switch inputs. It also does not have an HDMI input, so you cannot connect other devices directly to the transmitter. You have to rely on your TV’s HDMI ARC or optical output to send audio to the system.
Price and Value
- Reasonable Price for a 5.1 System: The system is priced at $399, which is reasonable for a 5.1 system with WiSA technology. It is comparable to other wireless systems, such as the Enclave CineHome II ($999) or the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 ($1,399), but it offers better value and performance.

Q: What are the advantages of WiSA over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers?
A: WiSA offers several advantages over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers, such as:
- Higher audio quality: WiSA can transmit uncompressed 24-bit/96kHz hi-res audio, while Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers usually compress the audio signal and reduce the quality.
- Lower latency: WiSA has a very low latency of 5.2ms, which means there is no noticeable delay between the sound and the picture. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers can have higher latency, which can cause lip-sync issues or lag in gaming.
- Better reliability: WiSA uses the U-NII 5 GHz spectrum, which is free from congestion and interference. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers can suffer from signal dropouts or distortion due to other devices or networks in the same frequency range.
Q: How do I know if a speaker or a device is WiSA certified?
A: You can look for the WiSA logo on the speaker or device, or check the product specifications or manual. You can also visit the WiSA website and browse the list of certified products by category or brand.
