Wireless Speakers

By Anne Ahira

Imagine everyone’s surprise when you take them for a tour of your well-manicured Japanese-styled garden and suddenly the familiar gentle sounds of slow relaxing Japanese music fills the air? Looking around for a moment or two for the obvious key box speakers turn up nothing.

Unable to understand where the music is emanating from they will relax in their vision of your perfect garden while your wireless speakers in the form of garden rocks makes them enjoy your garden even more so than they thought.

That may have been a pipe dream, but quality, pricing and security are still viable issues that the manufacturers of wireless speakers for home entertainment systems still have to work out prior to being offered at a price that will appeal to the mass-market buyer of in home theater and home entertainment.

It is unfortunate though that wired sound quality is still found to be superior to wireless. However the gap between the two is diminishing on a daily basis, and with some sound mixes, it is extremely difficult to differentiate between the two.

To fully understand the technology of wireless speakers, one must realize that there has to be a power source in order to amplify the sound. Granted this is easily achieved through the use of batteries, but having to rely on the batteries to do so, makes it very difficult.

It is unfortunate, for instance, that technological battery power still cannot provide enough amplification for the audio power truly needed. You can however, realize the convenience and added flexibility of not having to wire speaker wires throughout your home for instance by using “wireless” speakers.

In general wireless speakers will make use of radio frequency (RF) wireless transmission over the 900Mhz or perhaps the 2.4GHz bands in order to properly transmit audio signals that will use digital technology to reach the remote speakers.

This allows the wireless speakers to work more efficiently without the worries of interference from microwave ovens, mobile phones, as well as other household appliances and even other wireless implements that may be nearby.

Thus, if the reason you are looking into wireless speakers is for a home theater environment, you may not wish to consider a “home theater in a box” arrangement where everything you would want in a home theater comes in that one box.

Your best sound will be available to you via the use of special add-on units that will consist of a relatively small sender unit used in order to connect either directly into the rear-channel speaker coming out on the A/V receiver, or perhaps directly into the line-level out of your source.

Modern technology is still seeking ways to strengthen as well as to embellish the products that are available for such use, as they work diligently to develop products in easily applied, cost-effective, and highly versatile radio frequency (RF) products.

Not only is our technology highly advanced, but the needs of the people for such things as wireless speakers grows daily.

It is hoped that our demands are met soon, so that we can actually make use of “true” wireless speakers with which to embellish not only our home theater experiences but also be able to tour our Japanese gardens while our minds muse over what it took to actually create those singing rocks!
