How To Choose Quality Wireless Speakers

If you are thinking about getting a new sound system for your living room or anywhere else in your property, you will often have to trail cables throughout the house to each individual speaker. A lot of people do not like to do this as it can disrupt the carefully chosen decor; the alternative to this is by choosing a set of wireless speakers. These work by connecting a base units by radio transmission to each individual speaker. It transmits a digital signal, which will not be interrupted in the same way that an analog signal can and will replicate the sound at each speaker at the same time.

They can often be attached to any kind of output port, which means they can be used with just about any piece of audio or TV equipment. When looking at the different options, they will usually either be available to broadcast at 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz. The most important things to consider, however, are the following.

The power rating of a speaker is one of the most important things that you should look at. This is a judge of how much power that can go into the speaker without damaging it. With a wireless system, the base unit and the speakers will usually always be purchased together so the threat of damaging one a speaker is minimal. However the power rating should still be looked at so that you can judge how much volume each speaker will be able to create (as a rule, the more power the more volume).

Always look at the frequency response of the speaker. This is a range of the lowest and highest frequency that can be produced by the speaker. The higher the frequency range that the speaker can handle, the better quality the audio will be and the more realistic the sound that will be replicated.

Another important rating is what is called the sensitivity of each speaker. In general this is the amount of volume that can be put through the system before it causes audio problems (such as clipping etc.)

As wireless speakers will generally be placed far away from the amp to create a surround sound type experience, the different parts of the room that each speaker is placed in may cause different audio effects. This means that it is useful to see if each individual speaker has its own bass, volume and treble control. This allows the user to tune each speaker to give to the optimum performance for the room.

As an example: Broadcasting its signals at 900 MHz, the Audio Unlimited speaker system has a a range of 150 feet. It does not need a line of sight, so even with the speakers hidden behind walls, in the garden, or on another floor of the house, the sound quality remains consistently high.

In short, different wireless speakers have many different variables to choose from. However, by looking at the different options presented above, you should be able to choose a system that meets your needs.
