About the StartupDescribe your product in 3 words.
Wireless. Surround. Sound.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
While the rest of the consumer audio world was focused on making soundbars and whole house audio solutions, we found it quite discouraging that no one was focused on a single room true 5.1 wireless home theater experience. We believe half of the movie experience is heard and not seen so we took it upon ourselves to build what the market currently did not offer. The end result - an affordable, true 5.1, wireless HD audio surround sound system that you just unbox, plug in, and go.
What makes your product special?
Our product allows anyone with power outlets in their living room to enjoy a true 5.1 surround sound experience by having 6 independent speaker enclosures surround you with sound wirelessly, but with the simplicity of a sound bar set up. The WiSA Technology used in our system is found in systems that cost 5X - 20X as much, we are passionate about sound and knew that Wifi and Bluetooth audio transmission wasn't going to cut it. We worked tirelessly to incorporate this new technology, with speakers that were custom tuned to work with eachother at an incredible price. It doesn’t get easier than Enclave's plug and play setup experience with rock solid sound that packs a punch.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part of our startup experience has been building a team with like-minded individuals and working together to bring to reality a product we had in our head, that the market had a need for, and our customers thank us for.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I paid $390 to have it shipped and it took more than 3 weeks for me to receive... no I don't live in the middle of the jungle, desert or ocean.
When I tried to register the product the website only accepts addresses in USA and Canada... and no reply yet from Enclave regarding this issue I raised with them.
SUMMARY
Aside from the logistics and registration problems, this is a pretty good product for the price range and package size.
Set up was very easy as you can read from other reviews.
The remote control is very slow, so you may have to deal with some lag time when you press the buttons.
SETUP
I experimented with plugging in my sources to the Center Channel and then from the Center Channel to the TV; I found this more troublesome as I had to keep switching input sources using the Enclave Remote which was so slow or perhaps even faulty. I ended up plugging the sources to the TV and using the Optical Cable to connect from the TV to the Center Channel. This way I only needed to use the TV remote control which controls my TV, the DVD player, Netflix and now the volume of the Enclave Speakers. However you will need to set this function up between your TV and the Enclave Speakers. (In the Enclave Menu its under CEC)
BLUETOOTH
When I need to connect the Enclave Speakers to Bluetooth devices I have to choose Bluetooth as my input source. Because I connected my sources to the TV input, there was no video input from the Enclave Speakers to the TV, I could not see the Enclave menu.... So I have now connected one of my TV HDMI inputs to the Enclave Speaker output. Every time I need to see the Enclave Menu when making adjustments I have to switch my TV input to the HDMI channel connected to the Enclave Speaker. I know all this description sounds crazy but it would look a lot easier with diagrams.
ADJUSTMENTS
You can adjust how loud each channel speakers sounds by making adjustments in the Enclave Menu. The volume of the Bass Unit can be increased by placing it against a wall. Otherwise I have to adjust it to its maximum because I have it placed in the middle of the room.
SOUND QUALITY
In all honesty, these speakers sound pretty good for their size and price. I mean you can't compare the sound quality of these speakers with say full sized speakers that come with full sized price tags. I use the Enclave Speakers in my bedroom as such a small size is a big deal to me. Besides I don't need a loud volume in the bedroom. I can use the big speakers in my living room when I need volume and space.
Speech is very clear when watching movies. And action movies with Dolby really come alive!
I've heard the SONOS at a show room and wasn't impressed at all; all I could hear was the Bass and muddled spacing; maybe they didn't set it up correctly. BOSE is nice but where I come from, a BOSE system costs sometimes 2 to 3 times what they cost in the US and a comparable BOSE system in the US would definitely cost a lot more than the $1,199 for the Enclave. Dollar for Dollar you are getting a big bang for your buck with the Enclave.
I have but one big issue with the Enclave Speakers, you can't play old recordings on them, well not that you can't, but I suspect they have not been programmed or tuned to play old/poor quality recordings. The music comes out sounding really strange and lost. Trio Los Ponchos sounded out of tune and some jazz masters sounded like music from transistor radios. However when you play newer recordings like Diana Krall the speakers come alive, you can feel the presence....
CONCLUSION
I love the Enclave Speakers for their Price/Quality ratio and their Size/Quality ratio, they are perfect for a bedroom sized environment. Besides the biggest selling point is the WISA Technology; there are no speaker wires running all over my room!
Initially, I had trouble updating the firmware version via the app using my Samsung Note8; however, when I attempted that same process with my wife's Samsung S8, it worked flawlessly. I never figured out whether the problem related to my particular phone or some other issue, but it no longer mattered once the firmware upgraded successfully.
For anyone else, like me, whose center channel speaker is slightly forward of the L and R speaker enclosures, not to worry. The system works absolutely fine and sounds terrific. I have played around with varying levels for the center and rear speakers and ended up keeping them all at default values (i.e., 0). The only adjustment that I felt improved the sound was to pump up the sub-woofer to +6 for a more substantive bass experience. Based upon other reviews, I was intending to purchase a second sub; however, I am happy with the overall sound and don't see a need to add that component at present.
I registered three minor questions/issues with Tech Support. Each one was answered the same day by responsive techs who were patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. All matters were completely resolved with no lingering concerns on my part.
The sound is amazingly rich and enveloping when listening to inputs coded in Dolby and totally fine for regular TV channels and music sources (e.g., Pandora). There have been no interruptions, distortions, cutouts, or other interference with other technologies in my house including wireless LAN and cordless phones operating on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz channels.
I mounted the rear speakers using Perlesmith adjustable stands which were easy to assemble and work perfectly. I wasn't worried about hiding the power chord which is very thin and hardly noticeable. I just ran it down the backside of the pole and tied it using a couple of black wire wrappers.
I have wanted a surround experience in our main TV listening area for some time, but running speaker wires would have been extremely problematic as well as disruptive. I was prepared to spend a boatload of money on competing solutions (e.g., SONOS) until I learned about WISA and Enclave. I am a thoroughly happy customer and think Enclave may be the best value on the planet in terms of affordable and quality audio surround. I love that I don't need a separate receiver-amp and there are no external connections required except for electrical power and HDMI inputs. Simply put - FANTASTIC!
Pros:
1. The wireless speaker connectivity was instant and perfect, and has not failed once yet
2. No noticeable latency, despite the wireless connection method
3. Sound is nice and clear
4. Really easy to set up, pretty much plug-n-play
5. Mobile app works okay (and is better than the remote for controlling the system)
6. Good experiences with tech support so far
Cons:
1. Wish it connected via Wifi & had a web-control interface/API and not Bluetooth connection for remote control (as an AV automation engineer, I like IP control, because I can program for that!)
2. Remote is a little on the cheap side, but it gets the job done -- the app is better in every way (except using Bluetooth to connect)
3. Some minor hiccups, mostly caused by my (Sony Bravia) TV
4. Wish the DC power supplies fit more nicely into a power strip, they're just a lil bit bulky
Tips:
1. When switching to Aux/ARC and using TV to control volume, it typically defaults to muted -- raise the volume up by one or two notches to get it started, and then adjust up/down as needed
2. On a Sony Bravia TV, ARC shuts off when you switch to the HDMI/ARC input, so just make sure to not be on it when you want to Chromecast or use other TV apps (if you want to turn ARC back on, you have to switch to another input on the Enclave and then switch back to Aux/ARC). If you have a smart TV and use the apps, use the ARC input for controlling the Enclave only (as recommended in the quick-start guide they provide) and plug everything else into your TV's inputs
