By John David Slack
Overall, I'm very happy with this speaker system...I ordered 3 pairs
of them, in fact, so I could have sound on all three levels of my
townhome, and the system seems to work very well through the floors...no
drop of signal or distortion noticed. They are attractively styled,
they offer a lot of versatility for indoor or outdoor use, and the sound
quality is quite good, even the bass. The remote magnetically sticks
into the front recess of either unit, the handle makes them extremely
portable, and the mood lighting is a nice touch. Very nice. Audio
Unlimited really does a lot of wireless speakers, so no doubt they will
add more products to their 2.4GHz range of speakers, all of which will
work together seamlessly. (Personally, I'm waiting for a 2.4 GHz shower
radio, since they already have one in the 900MHz range.)
The transmitter has two inputs: an RCA connection (to headphone
jacks and the like) and paired red/white RCA phono jacks (to/from most
stereo sources). Right now I'm using a wireless Logitech Squeezebox
Touch as the music input, so I've got wireless connetivity to the source
of music (my computer and/or internet radio), as well as wireless
connectivity to the speakers...AWESOME combo.
It does have a few idiosyncracies which you should DEFINITELY know ahead of time:
1) The units shut themselves off after a few minutes of inactivity.
At the loss of a signal, the units immediately go to sleep (signified
by a green power LED), and then they shut down completely. This is very
desireable power saver in a battery operated device, of course...but
not needed so much when you use the wall adapters. Think about it: you
want to wake up to a music alarm or you want to press one power button
and hear music music booming from all over your house, and you can't,
because you have to go over and PHYSICALLY turn on each individual unit
everytime you want to listen to them. To me, this is a step BACKWARD
and a major design flaw; do you have to go and turn on each and every
individual one of your wired speakers everytime you want to listen to
music? NO. Anyway, unless you keep providing some kind of signal
input, the units will auto shut off. Exacerbating the situation is that
the power buttons require a three second press before they turn on, so
you can't just quickly tap them all on; NOOoo, you have to wait at each
one.
2) So, you ask, "What about the power button on the remote?" Well,
the remote will not turn the unit on.(!) What the "power" button does
is wake the unit up from sleep, or puts it to sleep...but it cannot turn
on the unit after it has auto shut-off. So, like I said...get used to
holding down power buttons with these units...
3) The speaker units operate individually. That is to say, the
remote does not interface with the transmitter unit, it interfaces with
the speaker units, and only the closest one. If you have them close
together, you might be able to catch them both, otherwise you have to
point the remote at one, and then the other. This is actualy a benefit
if you use them individually in mono mode (say, one in the kitchen and
the other in a downstairs living room), but if you have them paired into
left and right channels, it can be a little difficult to tell if you
really have them at the same volume level.
I would recommend these speakers to those who really want wireless,
multiple room sound AND who like to move their speakers around more than
most people (say, outside for a BBQ, or to a party, or to supplement
your home stereo speakers for an awesome movie experience, etc). I'd
also recommend them to someone who will only use them as supplemental
speakers for a traditional audio source. If you just want multiple room
sound and don't imagine moving your speakers ever, I'd probably
recommend something wired, or that only has wireless satellite speakers.
Or just something ELSE wireless that doesn't require as much hands-on
time. My point here is you probably want to turn on your source and
hear something immediately rather than running laps around your house
tagging speakers.
Overall, it's a great product with an 'Achilles heel'...you probably
won't find a better combo of sound, portability, and value in a
wireless speaker system anywhere else. I'd say its worth the bux, but
just go into the purchase knowing that to Audio Unlimited, "wireless"
means more work, not less.

Great sounding wireless
By Steven S. Poe
Purchased a pair of these (before they came in pairs) in early 2009
after having other wireless speaker systems. I've used them for 18
months and am still delighted. Battery life good (6 D cells each), but
comes with adapters and works well with either. Sound is really good
for relatively small, wireless speakers, especially if bass is
important. I use with mp3 thru an RCA cable purchased at a local Radio
Shack and get good response when mp3 is turned up to high volumes. I
also use as a wireless speaker for my home stereo system with great
results. The only problem is the range is not quite as good as
advertised. It does cut out when the range is too much, but that's
immensely better than the static produced by other types of wireless.
Does a good job of going through interior and exterior walls.
Relatively heavy to lug around, but that makes it more stable and less
likely to get knocked over. Includes a light to make it more visible in
low light, if turned on. Remote is convenient and is stored with a
magnet right on the unit. I could not have designed a better product
for this use.

iPhone conflict
By Michael G. Scchwemin
Everything was great until I tried to use my iPhone wifi. As soon as I connected to transmitter I lost my wifi connection.
Very disappointing as that is why I purchased these speakers to play my xm radio through my iPhone
Works great with my playlist but will not work with wifi
