Wireless Speaker Kits - The End of the Dreaded Cable Clutter?

!: Wireless Speaker Kits - The End of the Dreaded Cable Clutter?

Recently more and more manufacturers have started to offer home theater systems with wireless speakers or a wireless speaker kit. From a homeowners standpoint, eliminating long speaker cable runs is certainly a big plus. Multi-channel surround sound is a fairly new phenomenon and as such many older houses are not wired for rear speakers, not to mention 7.1 systems. As such a wireless solution might be the logical conclusion. But how reliable are these wireless speaker kits in a real-world scenario and do these options really eliminate the dreaded cable clutter?

Some wireless kits, such as the LG or Rocketfish allow to connect 2 speakers to a wireless receiver unit. This eliminates the cables from the front to the back. However, still cables need to be run from the receiver to each speaker and as such the amount of cables is just reduced but not eliminated. Another wireless surround sound product comes with separate receivers for each speaker which in comparison to the other products does reduce the cable clutter, albeit not eliminate cables completely.

Will the wireless have any effect on performance? Audio quality is a main concern. In picking a wireless system, one should choose a system where (a) the transmission itself does not pick up any noise or degradation in order to maintain the audio quality and (b) the wireless amplifier itself should be a high-quality amplifier with minimal distortion. Also, the size of the wireless speaker amplifier is a consideration as the receiver should be invisible.

Another issue to consider is that in a home theater setting is that the sound to all speakers should be in sync with the video and also in sync with each speaker. Some wireless units such as the Rocketfish will introduce a delay in the signal, apparently to cope with interference. As such you should investigate how much the signal travelling to the wireless speaker will be delayed. The product however specifies a delay of less than 1 ms which should be low enough for pretty much any real-world application.

Finally, how reliable are wireless speakers and speaker kits? One of the main issues with wireless devices of any sort is interference from other devices. As more and more consumer devices go wireless, the available frequency space becomes more and more limited. Especially the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands are exceptionally crowded, due to WiFi hot spots, cell phones with Bluetooth etc. Picking a system that avoids these frequency bands may be the logical choice, such as systems working at 5.8 GHz.

Aside from using a wireless speaker kit in a home theater environment, another useful application is streaming audio between different rooms of the home where wiring would be difficult to install or for outdoor applications. Just imagine being able to set up your speakers in your backyard in a matter of minutes. The possibilities are endless.

Bose 321 Review - An Overview of the Bose 321 RS System

!: Bose 321 Review - An Overview of the Bose 321 RS System

As the proud owner of 2 previous Bose systems, this Bose 321 review will cover my most recent system, which is the Bose 321 GS system. Now I must say that it is the Series III unit I am reviewing. In my opinion, it is a significant improvement over the Series II system.

Although I read many reviews about the Series III, I wasn't going to take the word of miscellaneous reviewers regarding it's performance.

Luckily, we have a specialty electronics store that carries the correct model. So, one day, about 3 months ago, I hopped in my truck and headed to the store.

After only about 15 minutes of listening to it, I was plopping down my Visa to buy the Bose 321!The price was lower than I expected, however I am told you now can buy it cheaper online.

The unit is amazingly easy to set up. Once upon a time, it took me 11/2 hours to set up an ancient Pioneer surround sound system, so 20 minutes to set this one up was a welcome relief.

The sound is superb!

Of course, it is important to realize that the Bose 321 GS is not in the same league with a 5.1 or 7.1 system, but it is excellent, nevertheless. This unit has two TINY speakers, not five or seven. so tune your ears accordingly.

If you're limited on room, like our family, you will love the compact size of the components. The speaker size is about half that of Bose's other models.

Frankly, they fit just about anywhere, and they are really easy to hide, even in a smaller room.

The overall sound of the Bose 321 SG is best suited for small to medium sized rooms. A living room, family room, office or den would be perfect.

It probably would be o.k. for a large room, such as a large game room. However, a larger system with more speakers might be a better fit.

Hopefully, this brief Bose 321 review was helpful. It is an excellent system for individuals who want a surround sound experience without the hefty price tag.
