Surround sound systems can benefit significantly from a wireless link, although sadly it's typically just the back loudspeakers that are in fact wireless. Additionally there is a slight degradation in audio quality using wireless instead of wired systems, particularly among the low cost alternatives. Nevertheless, the gap is closing all the time and top quality units will offer an excellent listening experience. Along with surround sound speaker stands, a wireless setup can provide both easy installation and a good looking setup.

Although it's probably more hassle-free to invest in a dedicated wireless surround sound system for your television, it is quite possible to buy add-on units. These incorporate a sender which can be attached to the rear channel output of your A/V box, which transmits information to a receiver situated towards the back of the room. The receiver contains an amplifier, and therefore uses power. It is attached by ordinary speaker cable to the existing back loudspeakers; these cables are naturally a good deal less complicated to hide, due to the fact they are not going all around your room. Of the add-on units, the more economical end of the market is dominated by Rocketfish. They produce a well put together system called the RF-WHTIB, which you can find online for less than $100. This cableless back speaker kit will deliver uncompressed CD quality audio, utilizing a small black sender unit that is paired to a larger box which contains the receiver/amplifier, this may be mounted on the wall if preferred. The device is visually good and performs effectively. Given that wireless connections tend to create a little bit of latency, for the best results you may need to change the rear speaker delay - something many A/V receivers will let you do.

One other important aspect of your sound setup is the placement of the loudspeakers themselves. You might find that buying a set of good surround sound speaker stands will make a significant improvement in your listening experience. A set of surround sound speaker stands will permit you to position your loudspeakers in the most effective places for the best results.

Even though wireless loudspeaker technology has yet to match conventional cabled loudspeakers as far as sound quality is concerned, for many individuals the convenience may likely outweigh the slight reduction in quality.
