Wireless Home Theater
Wireless home theater products are available through most
audio/video retailers. These items have the advantage of not requiring
speaker wire to be run across the floor or ceiling. However, it is important
to remember that even wireless speakers will need to be plugged in for
power.
Wireless home theater speakers are designed to pick up signals from
the amplifier without the need of a direct connection. This is done
through the use of a transmitter on the amplifier and a receiver that
is built in to the speaker. But, as previously mentioned, since they
have no direct connection to the amplifier, they must be plugged into
a wall outlet in order to work.
While wireless home theater equipment has improved, most experts still
recommend using directly connected speakers. Wireless speakers can cut
out of the signal from the amplifier is blocked, creating a real annoyance
when trying to watch a movie. With a hard-wired system, this problem
can be eliminated.
