An Assessment Of Wireless Surround Sound Kits

By Brian Fuller


Suppliers of home theater products are having a hard time getting a competing edge resulting from the big number of vendors flooding the market. Magazine advertisements are regularly employed to propel revenue of a specific model type. But, print ads are becoming more expensive and much less effective and for this reason companies need to put together fresh ideas in order to push revenue.

The most recent versions of home cinema systems usually do not differ from earlier designs a great deal plus simply include a number of minor functions or perhaps enhance their firmware. Clearly suppliers go on to increase the quality of the speakers and also the amplifiers which are utilized in home theater devices. Also, brand-new surround sound standards such as Dolby 7.1 are adopted into the most recent models of devices. One development which is pretty large has been the Blu-Ray disk. This technology drastically enhances the quality of movies as well as improves a bit on the sound. A different trend are 3D Tv sets which add a third dimension to movies. As of today there is no universally recognized standard however for 3-D TVs. Although a few of these types of television sets require wearing glasses, several versions have come out at trade fairs that operate with no need of eyeglasses. Still, the 3D effect will depend to a point on the viewing perspective and therefore these TVs have a number of limitations.

Wireless speakers have recently been accepted into the world of surround sound models. A few companies are sometimes providing complete cordless home theater products. Yet, only a small fraction of today's home cinema models come with wireless loudspeakers. The number of systems in which all speakers are cordless will be even smaller. Typically the front loudspeakers don't need to be wireless seeing that they're pretty near the surround receiver. Cordless surround sound products are an option to make rear speakers cordless when you don't have a surround sound package with cordless speakers. These types of products are produced by 3rd-party suppliers.

These speaker products are available from a number of vendors. These types of kits will be an ideal add-on to any home theater product and are usually offered or bundled with these types of kits. If you are interested in changing the manufacturer of your AV system then you may favor obtaining a 3rd-party speaker system that can attach to any AV component. Usually the transmitter provides amplified loudspeaker inputs which take the speaker-level signal from the rear-speaker output of the audio-video component. Some transmitters furthermore have line-level music inputs that can attach to almost any unamplified music output. Various AV receivers do offer line-level outputs of the rear channels.

The wireless signal is picked up by 1 or 2 wireless devices which are also part of the surround sound set. Entry-level products usually include a single wireless component which connects to both rear loudspeakers. Cordless loudspeaker sets, on the other hand, aren't really wireless despite their name. Each the transmitter plus receivers need electrical power. Electrical power is usually provided by a wallwart that connects to a mains power outlet. Each wireless amp may be located in close proximity to every loudspeaker. Without having power in the back of your space most of these kits may not meet your needs. The main benefit of 3rd-party multichannel audio systems is which usually they are not restricted to any particular manufacturer and as a consequence work with almost any home theatre model on the market.
