Plug the wireless transmitter and wireless receiver (and any additional amp if used) into AC power and turn them, and your audio source component on. You can now listen to music, TV, or movie sound.
Make a Subwoofer Wireless
If you have a subwoofer in your home theater setup, you can make it wireless with a wireless speaker conversion kit that has a subwoofer input on the transmitter and subwoofer output on the wireless receiver.
There are just two steps needed to add wireless connectivity to a subwoofer.
Connect the Subwoofer output of a stereo or home theater receiver to the wireless transmitter using a short RCA cable.
Connect a short RCA cable from the wireless receiver to the subwoofer’s RCA stereo or
LFE inputs.
If you have a
passive subwoofer that you wish to make wireless, you will have to place an external amplifier between the wireless receiver and the subwoofer unless the wireless receiver has a built-in amplifier with sufficient power output for the subwoofer.
The Bottom Line
Adding your old wired speakers into a wireless setup provides some great benefits. However, regardless of the wireless audio source, signal transmission and reception method used, you will still have to make a physical cable or wire connection to your speakers to make them work. You also need to provide power to your sources and wireless-to-wired conversion devices.
Wireless speaker kits and related products are made by several manufacturers and available at stores such as Best Buy and Fry’s Electronics as well as online via Amazon.
Costs vary depending on the brand and model of transmitter and receiver are packaged together as a kit, or sold separately, and whether you also need to purchase an additional amplifier to complete your setup.
