The Audio Cu system by Fasetto transforms standard power lines into audio transmitters, enabling wireless audio without traditional speaker cables. The system consists of transmitters ($800 each) and receivers ($400 each), requiring one transmitter per TV and one receiver per passive speaker or subwoofer.

Audio Cu connects to TVs via HDMI eARC and eliminates the need for an AV receiver. Speakers only need to be near a power outlet to receive audio wirelessly, making it compatible with both new and vintage passive speakers.

Key features:

  • Dolby Atmos certified
  • Hi-res audio compatible
  • Supports up to 10 channels per transmitter
  • Maximum 32 channels per environment

A basic 5.1 surround setup using Audio Cu would cost approximately $3,200 (excluding speakers):

  • One transmitter ($800)
  • Five receivers for speakers ($2,000)
  • One receiver for subwoofer ($400)

Currently, Audio Cu is only available through certified contractors, with limited initial availability. Wholesale pricing options are available for integrators, and retail availability through channels like Amazon or Best Buy may follow in the future.
