How Do Wireless Speaker Systems Work With My Audio Sources?
Wireless speakers work similarly to conventional wired speakers and aren't really much more complicated
. The main difference is the addition of two devices into the setup, the transmitter and one or more the receivers. Generally the receiver and amplifiers are built into the wireless speakers themselves, however for some systems it may be only a wireless amplifier which then connects via speaker wire to the conventional loudspeakers locally. In either case the principles are the same.
The key function of the transmitter is, as it sounds, to transmit a specific signal that carries your audio information to the receivers. These days almost all of these wireless connections are made digitally. Analog signals, like FM radio, can have all sorts of problems from annoying static to drop outs to interference from other transmitters. On the other hand, digital signals are significantly less prone to have these sorts of issues which make for much better sound quality and overall reliability. If you own a smart phone, you are surely benefiting from wireless digital technology right now.
The transmitter is generally connected to a source such as an iPad, computer, stereo or home theater system which is directly hard wired to the device. Most systems come with the necessary wires and connectors like the standard mini headphone jack for an iPod or MP3 player and all will have a plugin power supply, or as many of us call them, wall warts. In addition, some wireless speaker systems may also include a base station which also acts a charger for your player. Now that makes for real convenience. Another type of connection for
wireless speaker systems that's become increasingly popular is connecting with handheld devices via bluetooth or even wifi over your local network. This means even more flexibility to where you can actually place the speakers and listen to your favorite music. Regardless of the type of wireless speaker system you choose, its important to realize that there is always a maximum distance between the transmitters to the receivers be they traditional or handheld bluetooth or wifi enabled devices that are connecting to a wireless speaker system. One should always stay within that range for optimal system performance.
Similarly, the key function of the receiver is to obtain, and capture and translate the signal from the transmitter. It then takes this signal and sends it to an amplifier that may be it installed inside the wireless speaker system or just as a simple wireless amplifier as described previously, which in turn makes the loudspeaker itself play and you hear your music. The average range of the transmitter versus the receiver is generally between 150 feet to 300 feet although there are some systems out there that have greater range.
Receivers also need a power source to receive the signal and drive the amplifier in your wireless speakers. In many cases this means that theyll need to be within proximity of an AC outlet. Most manufacturers will provide a power supply wire long enough to easily make the connection to a nearby electrical outlet. If not, then a simple extension cord will do the trick. There is still no need to get fancy and run electrical wires which is why wireless speaker systems are so popular. No electrician, no professional audio video installer, no hassle.
There are also systems that are portable and rechargeable so you can literally take your music anywhere. Most of these types of wireless speaker systems use standard or rechargeable batteries and connect via Bluetooth. Some offer base stations while others do not. With all these choices, be sure to consider how and where you prefer to listen which will make finding the right product that much easier.
Finally, some wireless speaker systems can have multiple receivers making for systems that can be quite large but still offer great sound and convenience for the user. For example you may have a large back yard or a pool and want music over a large area. Wireless outdoor speakers are among the most popular for this application but systems are not limited to this type of use.
As result of all the great advances in wireless technology, we as consumers can all reap the benefits of high quality, reliable, simple, and effective music distribution via powerful and robust wireless speaker systems. When choosing what is right for you, make sure to think about these few things: Where do I want the wireless speakers to be so I can listen easily? Where will the transmitter/base station need to be located? And how far away are these two points from each other? Now answer these questions, make your choices and you'll be enjoying music in that favorite location in no time!
