IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Libre
Wireless Technologies, Inc., a leading embedded Wi-Fi and Wireless
solutions provider, announced the technology partnership between Libre
Wireless and RIVA Audio, the lifestyle brand of Audio Design Experts,
Inc. (ADX). Even as their new WAND Series of multi-room “+” speakers are

President and Chief Engineer, has the know how and experience to create
excellence in all that they design with Rikki’s legacy in the music
industry, their engineering legacy and the experience the team members
bring from their time with global brands.
RIVA WAND speakers feature Chromecast built-in so you can
stream music/tunes/podcasts/playlists from your favorite apps on your
phone, tablet or laptop to your speakers. Users also will have the
flexibility to connect multiple WAND speakers or other Chromecast
built-in speakers with the Google Home app.
RIVA entered the market just a few years ago with a focus on Bluetooth®
audio streaming and has become a lauded brand in mainstream audio
products, delivering a truly premium audio experience. With their new
WAND Series of multi-room “+” speakers, RIVA is raising the bar by
adding high-resolution Wi-Fi streaming that features multi-device,
multi-room and indoor/outdoor operation. The RIVA WAND Series brings the
most advanced connectivity experience by leveraging Libre’s
industry-leading LibreSync
wireless audio streaming platform with the unique DDMS direct streaming
technology, highest quality audio with RIVA’s patented Trillium™ audio
technology for stereophonic sound from a single speaker, broad ecosystem
support, and the most advanced new features by partnering with the best
technologies available.
The first products launching from the RIVA WAND Series include the RIVA
ARENA and RIVA FESTIVAL. Already recognized as best-in-class audio
products, they deliver consumers a customizable and easy-to-use
multi-room “+” audio system that delivers high-quality, patented
stereophonic sound from a single speaker. The result is an unrivaled
audio experience that can play to any room or outdoor location from any
networked or online source; offering a new way to wirelessly play all
your favorite music without restrictions.
“RIVA’s roots run deep in identifying best-in-class third party
technologies and integrating them into a comprehensive solution for a
great innovative product. We look at what is out there and evaluate what
best-in-class technologies we want to incorporate, how we will
incorporate them and the right design,” said Rikki Farr, Chairman and
Chief Creative Officer at ADX, Inc.
“The DNA of the RIVA founders is quite unique combining advanced
high-end audio technology with direct music industry experience for live
audio events and recordings with ties to some of the industry’s most
renowned artists,” says Hooman
Kashef, Chief Executive Officer of Libre Wireless Technologies.
“Working with music industry insider Rikki Farr and his team has been a
pleasure and to be selected as their streaming technology platform is
quite an honor. We see their design, audio fidelity and marketing as

About RIVA Audio
RIVA Audio was born from a simple yet powerful idea: That legendary
audio guru Rikki Farr (Chairman of ADX™) coupled with passionate
designers, patent awarded engineers, pioneering rock ‘n’ rollers and
leaders from the world of commerce could create a real alternative to
much of today’s over processed audio. RIVA designs award winning audio
products by combining the very best components with the true art of
audio tuning for people who are passionate about music and are seeking
great performance, value and enhancement of their modern lifestyle. RIVA
is a philosophy, a bold new standard and a defiant rejection of the idea
that people can’t afford great audio and therefore must accept the bland
experience of today’s tin-can wireless speakers. RIVA is headquartered
in Southern California where they create and design their RIVA family of
products. For more information about RIVA, please visit www.rivaaudio.com
