Guidelines For Finding The Perfect Pair Of Cordless Loudspeakers

By Mike Anderson


When looking for wireless rear speakers, there are several things to watch out for to steer clear of unwelcome surprises as well as to make sure that you are getting the best bang for the buck. I will provide a number of guidelines to adhere to whilst selecting the ideal speaker.

Wireless speakers are tempting as they eradicate the loudspeaker cable and do away with having an external amplifier. Just picture setting up a pair of loudspeakers at your terrace in the blink of an eye without a big cable clutter or sending audio wireless within your home. Wireless loudspeakers require power in order to drive the speaker elements and typically come with a power cord that needs to be plugged into an outlet. This means that those speakers can only be placed in locations that have power. This typically is not much of a predicament if you plan on putting loudspeakers in another room of your home. Nevertheless, to eradicate the power cord, some cordless loudspeakers are powered by internal rechargeable batteries. Loudspeakers with moderate audio power, nevertheless, need fairly heavy batteries that makes logging the loudspeakers to a place where the batteries can be recharged somewhat of a hassle. Also batteries am going to age over time and have to be replaced.

The next thing to look at is the loudspeaker structure in addition to output power. If you are preparation to install the speaker in your kitchen, you obviously will not need as much power as setting up a couple of loudspeakers as wireless surround sound speakers in your home theater. Depending on whether you are preparing to use the loudspeaker indoors or outdoors, you may want to go with a speaker which is waterproof or at least water resistant.

In addition, make certain the transmitter has the audio inputs that your audio equipment offers, the more inputs the better. Some transmitters offer a speaker level audio input. This type of input is frequently necessary when connecting the transmitter to the rear speaker audio outputs of a surround receiver to be used for wireless rear loudspeakers. Most surround receivers do not provide dedicated line level audio outputs for rear speakers. A number of more sophisticated transmitters also come with an iPod cradle. This cradle permits streaming of music directly from an iPod or iPhone and moreover acts as a recharger base. Yet, if you own a different MP3 player, you may still stream your music by connecting to the transmitter through a standard line audio input that almost every transmitter offers. 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 maximize the audio fidelity of the cordless transmission.

Some of the most modern cordless product models employ digital audio transmission generally either at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz. These kinds of loudspeakers eradicate the audio distortion and static that are inherent to loudspeakers which use analog audio transmission, typically at 900 MHz. With the growing number of cordless devices, there is more and more cordless interference. Modern cordless speakers typically employ some sort of error correction system. This technique enables the loudspeakers to be able to tolerate interference without audio dropouts.

It is best to do a listening test regardless of whether you are buying a set of ordinary or wireless loudspeakers. However, if you can't spot a set of cordless loudspeakers that sound just right, or if you already own a couple of loudspeakers, why not make your existing loudspeakers wireless by employing a cordless speaker kit? These kits have a transmitter and one or more cordless amplifiers which may attach straight to your existing loudspeakers.
