EXPERIENCE MOVIES, GAMING & MUSIC IN IMMERSIVE AUDIO
- Looking for a new home cinema speaker system? Want to Elevate your movies, gaming, and music to a fully immersive experience? Do you have an existing cinema setup with an older generation of Dolby in the amplifier, and wired speakers, and find yourself thinking, “If only ! could easily upscale from a 5.1 system to 5.1.2” Or you have an existing soundbar with a subwoofer and looking to upgrade to the next level. Then we have a system that will be perfect for you.
- Powered by WiSA HT Technology for wireless high-resolution audio transmission and being fully scalable allows you to grow your system all the way up to Dolby Atmos level. The speakers apart from being powered by mains, remain completely wireless to the Digital AVR ( the brain of the system). This means you can rearrange the positions of the speakers without worrying about cable lengths or rerouting cables through walls and ceilings. Lithe Cinema allows you to develop an audio system that is discreet and is suitable for any room layout or construction, whether indoors or outdoors. It’s easy to install and provides cinema-quality acoustics for all your home entertainment requirements.
- WiSA HT interoperability is also a great benefit; we’re not locking you into a Lithe system. You can add a choice of any WISA HT brand of speaker to suit the project’s needs. You may only choose Lithe Audio specifically for a particular channel (Heights, Rears), and that’s okay too. Our digital AVRs seamlessly integrate with any TV by connecting to the HDMI ARC for Dolby Digital and HDMI eARC for Dolby Atmos, ensuring flawless compatibility with your existing setup.

SELECTING THE RIGHT KIT FOR YOUR ROOM
STEP 1
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPEAKER FOR YOUR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Consider the structure of your building. In-ceiling speakers are ideal for drywall and stud constructions, while on-wall speakers may better suit solid walls. Factor in wall materials and cavity space to ensure optimal sound quality and installation feasibility. 
TIPS
For concrete walls and ceilings, we recommend wall-mounted speakers like the lOls, For plaster or drywall, both ceiling and wall-mounted speakers are suitable. Remember to check with your installer if you need fire hoods if using ceiling speakers.
STEP 2
DETERMINE WHAT NUMBER OF SPEAKERS WILL FILL YOUR SPACE
Assess your room or garden size to decide on the number of speakers. A larger area might require a 5.1 setup for full coverage, while a smaller space could be perfect for a stereo pair. Ensure each listener spot is enveloped in sound for the best experience. 
TIPS
For rooms smaller than 3.5m by 3.5m we recommend an audio setup ranging from 3.1 to 5.1 channels. For any room larger than this, a setup of 5.1 channels and larger is advisable. Book in a 1:1 session with Lithe cinema expert for advice and guidance, we’re here to help.
STEP 3
SELECT WHAT IS BEST MOUNTING OPTION FOR YOUR ROOM
Choose mounting options based on room layout and acoustics. Ceiling mounts offer an unobtrusive look and even sound distribution, while wall mounts can enhance audio directionality and are easier to install in certain spaces. 
TIPS
Enhanced Audio Directionality: Wall-mounted speakers provide targeted sound, improving audio precision in home theaters by aligning sound with on-screen visuals.
STEP 4
SELECT WHICH PROCESSING BRAIN, SOUNDSEND ORCINEMA HUB IS BEST FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS. Decide based on how and what you will connect to the system. SoundSend caters plug-and-play setups with a smart TV. The CinemaHub provides a broader range of connectivity options with satellite or cable TV, Playstation or Xbox or HiFi equipment. 
TIPS
The Cinema Hub offers the full capabilities of a traditional AVR and more, featuring both remote and app control for comprehensive usability, In contrast, the SoundSend has limited ports and offers more simple what you see on the TV will play through the speakers approach. 
STEP 5
SELECT A SPEAKER CONFIGURATION: FROM STEREO TO 5.1 TO FULL DOLBY ATMOS 5.1.2

SCALABILITY OF LITHE CINEMA
The beauty of the system lies in its scalability. You may have a 65″ TV today, but in 3 years, you may upgrade to 100″ screen. With the 101 modular approach, why not transition from a single or a pair of 101s to 4, matching the width of your TV? This not only enhances the sound quality but also contributes to aesthetic balance. Similarly, consider doubling up on any channel. Stack the front, center, and rear speakers for greater audio dispersion. Add in an extra Sub for even more bass. You can also add Pro series ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos, incorporate 101 wall-mounted speakers-the possibilities are endless. Don’t let your solution hold you back any longer; versatility is key. 
LITHE CINEMA WORKS WITH ANY TV OR PROJECTOR WITH HDMI ARC OR EARC
Simply connect your Hub and stream the audio to your Lithe Wisa Certified Speakers. Soundsend is intended to deliver a simple solution of sending your TV audio via WiSA via HDMI ARC or eARC (when using Dolby Atmos Setup). Decoding your smart TV’s audio signal and transmitting up to 8 channels of uncompressed 24-bit 48/96 kHz sound to WiSA-certified speakers with picture-perfect synchronisation without any lip sync. 8 channels mean you have a speaker per channel for Dolby Atmos system 5.1.2 which for most is all you need. Whereas the best in Class Cinemahub elevates the system and connectivity to AVR level solution and more, with up to 30 speakers. Which is touching on high end AVR channel output for a fraction of the price whilst being wireless and scalable.
FINE-TUNE THE SYSTEM FOR MOVIES, GAMING OR MUSIC
Once all the speakers in the system have been found, you can begin setting up the system, including the fronts, center, rear, heights, sub, etc. This involves adjusting listening position distances, trim values, bass management, crossovers, and more, all within the system. The installer can take room setup to the next level by fine-tuning each speaker across its entire dynamic range to tighten up where needed and cater to the home owners listening preferences. Instead of starting from scratch, we have provided the installer with an excellent starting point to leverage their expertise using the configuration settings to maximize the potential of the Lithe audio system and achieve optimal sound performance, resulting in a customized and immersive audio experience tailored specifically to the home owners tastes and environment.
