Facet speakers from Elipson feature Chromecast

16th January 2018

Elipson has teamed up with Google to announce Chromecast-toting powered and wireless Facet speakers

Elipson’s new bookshelf Prestige Facet 6BT (including a 25mm tweeter and 140mm mid/bass unit) and floor-standing Facet 14BT speakers (including a 25mm tweeter, 170mm mid/bass unit and 170mm bass unit) feature Class D amplifiers (150W on the 14BTs) and now Google’s Chromecast audio wireless streaming from any compatible device.

To install, you plug the powered speaker into the mains, connecting the other speaker with the loudspeaker cable supplied, then pair with a Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet or laptop or connect the Chromecast dongle to receive the source over your Wi-Fi network.

The APTX HD Bluetooth receiver can handle 24bit/48kHz high resolution audio files whilst the Google Chromecast dongle can provide 24bit/96kHz. The Chromecast function also allows you to transform your system into a full multi-room solution (when using other compatible speakers) using the App.
