Buying Tips For Wireless Speakers

By: Gunter Fellbaum

I will give some advice to help you while looking for cordless speakers to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Running the cords to install a new set of speakers is regularly a hassle. If your home is not prewired for audio you may end up drilling holes and doing a large cabling project. Cordless loudspeakers promise to get rid of the loudspeaker cords. As cordless loudspeakers have a built-in amplifier, they need power. A lot of types am going to plug into an outlet and thereby are able to provide medium to high power to drive the loudspeaker elements. This means that these loudspeakers can only be positioned in places that have power. This typically is not much of a predicament if you plan on placing loudspeakers in a different room of your house. Yet, to eliminate the power cord, various cordless speakers are powered by internal rechargeable batteries. However, recharging batteries may be a hassle as well as replacing these since batteries age.

Be confident to pick a loudspeaker which offers sufficient audio power for yor purpose. If you are planning to install your speakers in your kitchen or bed room, you can choose a reasonably low-powered loudspeaker. However, if you are preparing to set up wireless loudspeakers outdoors or in your home theater, you may want to have a look at moderate to high output power loudspeakers. Depending on whether you are preparing to use the speaker indoors or outside, you might want to go with a loudspeaker which is rainproof or at least water resistant.

Furthermore, ensure the transmitter has the audio inputs that your audio equipment provides, the more inputs the better. A few transmitters provide a loudspeaker level audio input. This kind of input is often required while attaching the transmitter to the rear speaker audio outputs of a surround receiver to be used for cordless rear speakers. Most surround receivers do not offer dedicated line level audio outputs for rear speakers. While almost every transmitter offers a standard line-level audio input, some also have an iPod cradle which also allows an iPhone to be plugged into. Each audio device will output audio at different audio levels. To accomodate all devices, the transmitter should be able to adjust its audio input level. This will stay away from clipping of the audio and make the most of the audio fidelity of the wireless transmission.

While historically cordless speakers would make use of analog audio transmission, normally at 900 MHz, the latest generation makes use of digital audio transmission at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz and get rid of audio distortion and static. Another benefit of digital transmission is the higher robustness against interference from other transmitters like cordless telephones that is vital with the ever increasing number of wireless gizmos these days.

It is best to do a listening test regardless of whether you are purchasing a pair of ordinary or cordless speakers. On the other hand, if you cannot spot a couple of cordless loudspeakers which sound just right, or if you already own a set of speakers, why not make your old speakers wireless by employing a cordless speaker kit? These kits come with a transmitter and one or more wireless amplifiers which may attach directly to your old speakers.
