Entertaining at Christmas can be a daunting prospect, but with DTS Play-Fi technology now built into many household speakers, it’s now easier to set the soundtrack of the evening from your phone.

DTS Play-Fi comes with the ability to stream different music to variety of rooms and devices over Wi-Fi with no loss of quality. The host’s night is  easier with their smartphone acting as the party’s wireless control centre for music: everything from song choice to volume level can be customised on a room-by-room basis. Music lovers can enjoy DTS Play-Fi at no extra cost, as so many audio brands like Pioneer, Klipsch, McIntosh, Onkyo and Wharfedale come with the  technology built in. To start powering a home filled with hifi, you just need to download the free app (available on iOS, Android and Windows).

DTS Play-Fi is part of the DTS family, whose origins lie in Spielberg’s 1994 film Jurassic Park. Spielberg knew that the film’s audio was central to its success, adding a new layer to the theatre experience for ordinary cinema-goers. DTS Play-Fi is now available on more than 200 interoperable speakers, sound bars, set-top boxes, and A/V receivers from audio brands including Aerix, Anthem, Arcam, Definitive Technology, DISH TV, Elite, Integra, Fusion Research, Klipsch, MartinLogan, McIntosh, Onkyo, Paradigm, Phorus, Pioneer, Polk Audio, Rotel, Sonus faber, Soundcast, SVS Sound, THIEL Audio, and Wren Sound.
