Eleven Engineering is making waves once again with the recent announcement that Apple is now finally converting to the USB-C connector standard, thus making new Apple products SKAA-compatible, as well.
“Our SKAA-Enabled Cassandra transmitter with USB-C connector was launched nearly six years ago, and Apple is finally catching up,” says Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. “We read the tea leaves back in 2017 as the industry was beginning to migrate from micro USB to USB-C, and our Cassandra transmitter was our first with a USB-C connector that embraced that new trend. Ideal for charging and transmitting data more effectively and quicker than micro USB, Cassandra has set the benchmark for the new desired and practical connector ever since. Now, SKAA is the ideal choice for all phones, tablets, and laptops that utilize a USB-C port, including Apple products.”
USB-C has become popular over the past few years for a number of reasons, both functional and practical. First, it is reversible, meaning no more frustrating moments since you don’t have to turn the connector and/or cable around in order to plug it into the device…no more USB superposition. Secondly, and perhaps more important, USB-C also brings higher speed and power advantages to your fingertips.
Additional Cassandra features and specifications include:
- Sends audio to up to four receivers
- Works with all apps
- Use up to five transmitters in the same area
- No pairing
- 15 meters (50 feet) indoor range
- Low latency
- Works with SKAA cmd (optional app)
- Ships with SKAA OS 2.4, works with all receivers running SKAA OS 2.1 or newer
- Free Shipping
SKAA is the wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack. SKAA is also available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products, which are featured at SKAA.com. SKAA navigates hostile environments saturated in wireless traffic with best-in-class reliability. SKAA delivers uninterrupted audio with the highest sound quality to all speakers without the latency that is inherent in other wireless solutions.
With SKAA, the receivers (speakers/headphones) are in charge of selecting which transmitter to listen to. There’s no pairing.
“SKAA’s audio quality is always 480 kbps while Bluetooth’s is always lower and actually varies depending on environment and circumstances,” says Whitehead. “You can use up to five SKAA transmitters in your home at the same time. That’s up to 20 speakers or headphones.”
