Three is a sign of completeness, and the Harman Kardon Omni system certainly embodies such a spirit, as it is made up of three new products, namely the Omni 10 and Omni 20 wireless HD loudspeakers as well as the Adapt plug-in which will do their respective bits in order to upgrade an existing home stereo system. Regardless of which particular model that you decide to pick up, all of them will be powered by Blackfire Research wireless media technology.
Not only that, there is also a Harman Kardon app in addition to Bluetooth capability which would enable one to access and stream any music from your smartphone, favorite streaming services or your favorite apps without missing a beat. In order to make sure that this system is reflective of your personal lifestyle and needs, custom applications can be part of the deal in order to further extend the system functionality, courtesy of an open programming interface that is being introduced so that it can take advantage of third-party app development.
The app allows one to control and configure the HD audio system sans wires, in the presence of a standard Wi-Fi-connection of course. Automatic software upgrades and improvements ensure a certain level of future-proofing, and with Harman Kardon Adapt, one will be able to enjoy different music in each room – paving the way for private listening if you so desire.
