Elipson has announced the W35+ a new and improved version of their distinctive W35 connected, multi-room stereo speaker. With improved sound quality and RJ45 connectivity now integrated into the distinctive spherical design, “the W35+ is capable of high-quality, HD audio playback no matter which source you use, now and in the future”.
A redesign of the integration of the silk-dome tweeters now gives improvements in sound quality. The two 6.5” mid/bass drive units perform in partnership with these reworked tweeter housings to give better treble and greatly improved harmonics. Power is provided by Elipson’s 350W RMS Class-D amplifier.
New to the W35+, and discretely built into the distinctive housing, is an RJ45 socket for connected streaming along with digital (S/PDIF optical) and analogue inputs (3.5mm mini-jack). Wireless connectivity is the W35+’s forte so also included are aptX HD Bluetooth for playing hi-res music files up to 24-bit and Wi-Fi for playing hi-res files in Solo mode or CD quality audio files in multi-room mode.
Streaming platforms such as Qobuz, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Internet Radio etc. are also available, or of course you can stream from your stored music files. Operation is via the dedicated Elipson Connect App making the W35+ compatible with other Elipson Connected products located in other rooms to create a simple to use multi-room system.

A specially designed tripod stand is available in either Silver Oak or Walnut at £149, additional flexible mounting options are also available for the W35+ so it can blend seamlessly into your home.
