Description
Platin HTX Surround Hub is a digital, lossless surround system with everything inside, that you expect from a traditional AV-receiver. It contains HDMI switching, decoding, streaming and various audio inputs. It comes with a 2-way RF smart-remote with full control and feedback, allowing you to hide away the Surround Hub. It will act as a bridge between most audio sources and WiSA HT enabled speakers for playback.
The HTX Hub will connect with any WiSA HT certified speaker in the market. Since WiSA HT protocol is a lossless transport, working up to 24bits/96kHz, the device takes advantage of the digital nature of the transport enabling a package of internal digital signal processing (DSP). The DSP is lossless at 32bits/96kHz, to ensure no degradation of audio quality is introduced.
It is capable of handling decoding of immersive surround for Dolby Atmos 5.1.2. It supports upmixing any content to multichannel playback, utilizing all the speaker channels connected.
Features
The HTX hub also features an accessible DSP-core, for which we have a system in the works, that will allow users to access it freely and adapt the system to personal preference. It comes with automated features and manual features, that allows anything from out-of-the-box easy setup up to expert level of manual adaptation. Your skill level is the limit of how well you can get the system to work.
Cabled ethernet and wi-fi network
It offers both Wi-Fi and ethernet connection for network access. The device will automatically prioritize cabled network connection over Wi-Fi in case both are used. Using ethernet connection is recommended where possible, as it ensures the most stable streaming experience.
Smart-remote
The system comes with a delicate aluminum 2-way RF smart remote, which essentially replaces the need for an on-product display and allows you to hide away the HTX Hub. The remote has live visual indications for the essential functions – and it enables the on-screen display of the device. It also allows you to control the playback of your streaming.
HDMI
It comes with 3pcs HDMI 2.0b inputs and 1pc HDMI (eARC/ARC) output. This allows you to connect your TV and up to 3 HDMI sources directly with the HTX Hub. The desired HDMI input will automatically be chosen and shown on your TV. You can adjust the volume from your TV remote, eliminating the need for manually operating the device for TV playback. The HTX Hub supports 2-channel and multichannel PCM audio, as well as any surround format from Dolby.
Analog line input
It has a stereo analog line input with phono connectors. The analog input circuitry of the HTX Hub is using a fully balanced Analog to Digital converter, converting the analog signal to 24bits/96kHz directly at the input sockets – allowing as pure a path as possible. After converted to digital PCM audio, the signal is treated with equal respect as the digital inputs. The line input supports voltages up to 2.5Vrms. This limitation in input voltage is there to optimize the performance of the analog playback.

ROOM CORRECTION
We are so stoked about this! A thorough engineered room correction that will surprise you in a very positive way, easy and simple to use, yet fixes what you want, without the typical artifacts we sadly see from most room corrections on the market today. Mainly it’s designed to help you with room modes (bass issues caused by the room), it will adapt the bass response to your room, and the speakers' placement in the room.
If you plan to use our speakers in a normal room, where optimal speaker placement and huge bass traps is not an option, this might be the biggest upgrade in terms of sound quality improvements you have done, no joke!
The technical explanation is a huge topic that can be found under our active speakers
MEET THE BUCHARDT TRICKED OUT RF REMOTE
Remotes should make your life easier, not harder! This remote will automatically turn on the moment you pick it up. It also acts as your display for the hub, showing what input you have selected and the volume.
Not in the same room? No problem. You'll be able to adjust the volume even if you're on the other side of the house!
