EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, Feb. 4, 2026 – Eleven Engineering, Inc. (www.elevenengineering.com), a market leader in semiconductor products for wireless audio for pro, home theater, multi-room, portable, 12 Volt (car, truck, motorcycle, power sports, marine) and gaming applications, is proud to announce that Electrotec Audio’s STAGE ONE wireless portable speaker with integrated SKAA wireless audio technology won the NAMM “Best in Show” award during the recent 2026 event, held Jan. 22-24 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.
“We are incredibly proud to have STAGE ONE as part of the SKAA ecosystem in both the pro audio and Party Speaker Markets,” said Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. “The entire STAGE ONE process…from concept to R&D to the point of final engineering, building SKAA into STAGE ONE has been the perfect collaboration. Winning Best in Show at such an important annual international event such as NAMM proves the industry is listening and looking for an alternative to the incredibly unreliable Bluetooth® wireless technology.”
During the event, Eleven Engineering hosted a number of leading pro and consumer audio brands with active displays in its booth that utilize SKAA wireless technology amongst its product lines. Among these included Electrotec, Trulli, Soundboks, and Dillinger Labs, which is a popular wireless audio Eleven Engineering brand that launched its highly anticipated Death From Above battery powered SKAA wireless speaker system.
“Electrotec Audio made a last-minute decision to display at the 2026 NAMM Show,” said Rikki Farr, Electrotec Audio CEO and Co-Founder. “Once we turned the STAGE ONE speakers on and our team members picked them up and carried them to other locations while they were still playing, people from all over the convention center came over and wondered aloud, ‘How do you do that?’ It was great to see everyone noticing STAGE ONE’s power and portability in action, and we gave just a one-word answer, ‘SKAA!’ When it was announced that we had won the Best in Show award as voted on by NAMM, we were elated, and it gave 100 percent justification to our having chosen SKAA and the whole Eleven Engineering team to be our wireless designer and supplier. We are currently working on three other musical products and you will find SKAA in all of them.”
STAGE ONE has brought to market the most powerful sound, the most accurate bass, feature sets second-to-none, and the purest audio with double the battery life compared to any speaker of its size in the world.
“During NAMM, audio engineers, retailers, DJs, musicians, and others were able to witness today’s high-end SKAA wireless pro audio solutions, and now Electrotec’s STAGE ONE is at the top of the category,” Whitehead continued. “SKAA has seen an explosion of popularity the past year by both consumers and partner brands alike, and we exceeded even our own expectations during the 2026 NAMM Show, and we are so proud of Rikki and the Electrotec team.”
SKAA is the wireless HiFi audio standard developed by Eleven Engineering, Inc. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack. SKAA is also available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products, which are featured at SKAA.com. SKAA navigates hostile environments saturated in wireless traffic with best-in-class reliability. With SKAA, the receivers (speakers / headphones) are in charge of selecting which transmitter to listen to. There’s no pairing. SKAA’s audio quality is always 480 kbps while Bluetooth’s is always lower and actually varies depending on environment and circumstances. You can use up to five SKAA transmitters in your home at the same time. That’s up to 20 speakers or headphones.
