System Audio Room Service App Launched
System Audio's Room Service might not get dinner to your door, but it does promise to tame the effects of your room on your music.
System Audio's Silverback WiSA-enabled active speakers now have a free room correction app meaning you can tweak and stream from the same smart screen.
Furniture, floors, and walls reflect and colour the sound from your music system before it reaches your ears - most of us know this already. This explains why room correction is possibly the most effective system upgrade you can make. However, correcting your room's acoustics has generally seen as being difficult, expensive, or both. Thanks to advances in digital technology, you can now compensate for the room by changing the response of the speakers via an easy-to-use smartphone application.
System Audio states that "every room has its own 'Schröder' frequency (usually between 250 and 300Hz) at which the space is no longer dominated by well-defined room modes but instead produces what is known as a diffuse field of propagation". This is where the company's fast and free-of-charge 'Room Service' app for iPhone 6S and up comes in. We are told that this enables owners of SA Silverback systems to correct for their room's response below the Schröder frequency. Additionally, the app will capture high-frequency data as well, to calculate a smooth alignment of low and high-frequency output within the room.
The Room Service app performs the complex task of mapping and correcting room acoustics in as little as 60 seconds. No cloud connection or PC is involved, and only one measurement is necessary. The app saves the measurement to System Audio's Stereo Hub wireless controller, which then automatically adjusts the output from all connected sources.
When used together, System Audio's Room Service app and Stereo Hub enables owners of SA Silverback wireless speaker systems the dual convenience of content control over multiple streaming services combined with the opportunity to optimise room acoustics from the same smartphone.
You can download the Room Service app for iPhone now. Android owners have to wait a while longer, but we are assured an Android version is on its way.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
