Are you ready to spend extra to get rid of the cables running across your room
to the rear surround-sound speakers? If yes, go for an add-on unit for wireless
transmission of audio signals to the speakers. If you don’t own a home theatre
system and are planning to buy one, you can buy an integrated home theatre
system with wireless rear speakers
WIRELESS HOME
AUDIO SYSTEMS

W
ireless audio sys-
tems are designed for
streaming music wire-
lessly across your liv-
ing room. Some may
let you enjoy music from your com-
puter or other audio source anywhere
around your house. Wireless speakers
are generally more compact than their
wired counterparts. These have built-in
antennae and don’t require additional
connections.
Notwithstanding their advantages,
if we go by the market feedback, sales
of wireless home audio systems have
not picked up owing to their high cost.
These can cost about Rs 16,000 more
than their wired counterparts. That’s
why you’ll nd only a few models of
wireless home audio systems in elec-
tronics stores.
But, still there is a niche segment
Buyers’
Guide
of consumers that doesnt want to
compromise on the aesthetics of their
living room due to the clutter of wires
running around the room. They also
get the added exibility and conven-
ience of not having to run wires across
the room to the rear speakers.
Wireless home audio systems
are offered by companies like Bose,
Philips, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and
Logitech. Take a look at what’s avail-
able in the market.
Types available
Wireless home audio systems can
either be add-on units or integrated
home theatre systems with wireless
speakers. Usually, these wirelessly
transmit audio signals to the remotely
placed speakers over RF link in the
2.4GHz band. There are also units mak-
ing use of the 5.8GHz band. Though
these work over shorter range, they are
less prone to interference from house-
hold appliances like microwave ovens
and your mobile phone operating in
900MHz or 2.4GHz band. Nor do they
interfere with the wireless network for
Internet access within or around your
house as most WLANs use the 2.4GHz
band. RF doesn’t require line of sight,
so you can hide away the transmitter
and receiver units.
Some systems may use infrared link
for communication, but these support
short distances within the same room
as they require line of sight between the
transmitter and the receiver.
Add-ons. An add-on type wire-
less home audio system is basically a
combination of a wireless transmitter-
receiver pair and speaker system. The
wireless transmitter connects to your
audio/video source like DVD player,
the speakers including centre channel,
front right and front left, and power
supply. The receiver, kept at the other
end of the room, connects to the rear
