All About Wireless Speaker Systems

By Andy Zain

The previous generation of music lovers had to contend with wired speakers. These large, bulky devices were hard to move and had to be connected to the stereo system with a bunch of wires. If the music lover was to move the system, everything had to be rewired. Modern technology has made it far more convenient to listen to music by using wireless speaker systems. Single speakers, dual speakers, and surround sound systems all use wireless technology.

Of course, wireless speakers can also be used inside the house. They are extremely convenient for outdoor use, however. In addition to not requiring wires, they don't use batteries that wear down easily. These speakers are also infinitely more portable than their wired counterparts.

Wireless speakers work just as well as traditional speakers do; music fans will not lose much in the way of sound quality.

Less commonly, wireless speakers can use infrared technology to transmit the signal. This technology is mainly used in home theatre systems and is less convenient to use. Infrared signals cannot move through obstacles, requiring the user to clear a path between the audio device and the speaker prior to use.

Other than the distance problem, there are very few disadvantages to using wireless speakers. These speakers are extremely durable and can withstand most types of weather.

However, leaving them on a porch overnight should not interfere with their normal operation. The durability of materials used in wireless speakers can sometimes muffle sound if the transmitter is located too far away from the receiver.

The main advantage to wireless speaker systems is that they can give you an enjoyable listening experience without the inconvenience of having to rewire the speaker every time you wish to use it. The speakers themselves are often far lighter in weight than their wired cousins, making them that much easier to use. Always test the speaker system to make sure it is not too far away from the music source and you should be able to listen to any type of music outdoors.
