Situated on Stand 33, Lithe Audio the innovative UK brand that designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of high quality, innovative electrical products such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ceiling speakers, will be exhibiting with its sister company the lighting and switches brand Retrotouch.
Highlights at the show will be the new Lithe Audio Wi-Fi speakers, as well as the Award-winning Bluetooth speaker range; and Retrotouch will show its new iotty Wi-Fi switches and matching wiring accessories.
An easy way to upgrade a home’s AV system is with Lithe Audio’s range of easy-to-install, Wi-Fi ceiling speakers providing an all-in-one solution for multi-room music streaming.
The speakers have the amplifier and Wi-Fi built-in, there’s no need for speaker cables or servers, making them really easy to install. They are also AirPlay-certified, the company claims as a first for an in-celing speaker.
The speakers also come with a dedicated app that has Spotify Connect, Deezer, TIDAL and vTuner radio already enabled.
The ceiling speakers also now also come in an IP44 bathroom version. With the speakers users can stream audio from any audio service to a single, a selection or up to 30 speakers at once for a full multi-room audio experience.
The app will save settings for individual zones or to play party mode (all speakers at once) for future streaming. For installation, simply connect power from the existing lighting circuit, link to any device via the App, and stream.
Designed by Lithe Audio’s team of specialist home electronic product designers, the frameless speakers are designed to ‘disappear’ into the ceiling, only protruding 3mm. The magnetic grille covers can be removed for cleaning or for replacement with a different coloured finish. The grilles can be painted to match your ceiling for a barely-there look.
Retrotouch iotty Smart Switches For Easy App- And Voice-Controlled Lighting
Also on show will be Retrotouch’s new iotty WiFi smart switches.
These attractively-designed switches also use built-in Wi-Fi to enable lighting throughout a home or office to be controlled from anywhere in the building – or from anywhere with an internet connection.
The switches integrate with other automated home features such as automatic garage doors and gates and can use geo-location technology to ensure that lights turn on automatically when the owners approach their home.
The switches are Alexa and Google Home enabled so users can just say ‘Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights’ for a simple lighting solution.
Retrotouch Crystal iotty smart switches have W-iFi enabled within the switch, using a home’s existing network with no need for additional hubs, routers or costs.
Other features include automatic gate, shutter, door opener; light-dimming function; schedule-creator.
The maker says that not only is the simplicity and performance of these switches second to none, but the design – a cool glossy finish on a flawless glass faceplate – guarantees a stylish look for any home or business.
The switches are available in a choice of black or white glass, and in one switch and two switch options.
