Setting up a set of home theater speakers can be quite a hassle. With the latest generation of 7.1 surround systems, you have to set up a total number of eight speakers. Running speaker wires all across your room can be a major drag. Often times you will end up with lots of cable clutter which can be desirable. There are some solutions that promise to address this problem. Particular, wireless speaker kits have been designs the challenges of setting up speakers. These kits use a wireless signal to transmit music. The wireless transmission effectively replaces the speaker cable.
When using one of these wireless kits, you have to make sure that you don’t have a lot of wireless gadgets in your home that use the same frequency band as the wireless kit. That is because wireless audio has fairly strict requirements in terms of reliability. In particular, for theater applications require a fairly low. Latency is the time that the signal requires travel from the transmitter unit to your speakers. The longer the latency, the more problematic the wireless transmission will become. That is because the long latency can cause an echo type effect. In other words, the rear speakers will no longer be in sync with the other speakers which are hard wired to your home theater receiver.
Therefore, manufacturers of these wireless speaker kits have come up with some methods which are designed to increase the reliability of the transmission and at the same time of your latency. However, even when using one of these advanced wireless systems, you have to keep in mind a few pointers whilst setting up your system. First of all, try to minimize the distance between the wireless receiver unit and the transmitter. Also, if possible, keep the wireless receivers within line of sight to the transmitter. That will maximize the signal strength which is picked up by the wireless receiver. Maximum signal strength will minimize the impact that the wireless units have on the transmission. The stronger the signal, the lower the impact of wireless interference will be. Usually, modern wireless speaker kits will be able to tolerate certain amount of wireless interference. As long as the signal strength of the hearings space to a certain threshold, the wireless receiver will still be able to output crystal-clear audio.
