Works!
on January 29, 2008
Posted by: Anonymous
from Aldie, VA
The Rockfish Universal Wireless Rear Speaker Kit is a very useful device. This kit allows you to hook up your rear surround sound speakers without running speaker wires around the room. (Note there is still a power cord.) The sound quality seems fine to me for TV, Sports, and Movies.
What's great about it: Works as advertised
What's not so great: Minor but now I have two more boxes to turn on and off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received this as a Christmas gift, couldn't get it to work, took it back, exchanged it, couldn't get the 2nd one to work, started researching... the fix was simple. I'm a guy and didn't evidently *need* the directions (hint, yeah, I did). I would have THOUGHT as many complaints as there are online that the tech people in Canada would have asked before I went to all the trouble, but they probably assume we would RTFD. ;)
The two boxes aren't labeled "sender" or "receiver" and there is only one page in the manual (package contents) that tells you which one is which. So, of course, I put the bigger unit with my receiver since the signal processor and sending unit SHOULD be bigger, right?
WRONG! The larger unit is the RECEIVER, and is BIGGER because it's amplifying the signal up to 25 watts for your surround speakers. The smaller unit is the sender and hooks into your AV rack.
2nd problem: buzzing sound when you turn your AV unit off. The electrical plugs in your room are on the same breaker and it's feeding back on itself. 2 solutions: pick a different outlet or go online and Google "rocketfish humming fix resistors". 2 Radio Shack resistors are hooked in series to the wires coming out of your A/V rack, takes about 30 minutes and costs about $5 bucks.
Rocketfish will also, on request, send you two such wires FREE if you ask them nicely. (note, they may stop doing this for cost reasons if demand gets too high).
25 watts is PLENTY of power unless you have a basement surround sound need with speakers more than 5 feet or so from the sitting area. Turn the silver dial on the receiver unit ALL THE WAY UP first, BEFORE adjusting your A/V rack surround output level.
Clear and loud sound from my JVC receiver and JBL surround speakers. Was considering running these through my powered subwoofer that has a built-in amplifier and left/right output but since the input signal would be amplified to 25 watts, will probably hold off.
Good luck, and enjoy!
What's great about it: Small, quick install, 24/7 LIVE support (in Canada)
What's not so great: Some reports of humming, confusing directions, poor tech support
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rocketfish Wireless Adapter
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: Anonymous
from Concord, CA
This product solved my problem! Room configuration would not allow for a neat running of cables to surround speakers. The installation was very easy. I spent more time getting the wires fed through the surround speaker stands than on the install of the sender/receiver themselves. If you are using thick gauge wires you will need pin connectors as the holes in the receiver are too small for the heavier wire. Otherwise this was a very easy, cheap solution to a common problem. I have not experienced the hum others have reported. I have noticed an infrequent pop (once on each night of DVD watching) but, again, not as others have reported. Worked as advertised for me - easy, fast, cheap, problem solved!!!
What's great about it: Works as advertised; very easy set up
What's not so great: Have to manually turn on/off the receiver
I would recommend this to a friend!

The unit itself was easy to install. Not completely wireless than again it was never advertised as such. Relieves me of having to run speaker wires back, up and around everything to get where I need them.
On a side note. When I first hooked this up, I had about an hour of frustration on why my receiver wasn't even recognizing that I had back speakers.... Just when I was ready to throw something out the window, it hit me like an epiphany... In a 7.1 surround system (at least on my receiver) the speakers are Front L,R center, sub, and Surround R,L (not Surround Back L.R which I thought it was). so when doing a 5.1 setup on a 7.1 receiver remember the surround back speakers are the extra two.... Hope this makes sense.
Anyway about the unit itself. easy to install, and the sound is pretty darn good.
What's great about it: Sounds good, installation of the unit itself was a breeze
What's not so great: doesnt do your dishes. Neighbors may not like it
I would recommend this to a friend!

OK, so if you want to go wireless with your rear speakers these are ok to use but there are some problems. If you have a lot of wireless products, interference is an issue. Plus you cannot leave this on all the time or else you get a lot of excess noise coming thru your rear speakers and the occassional popping noise. For the money they are a good starting point, but if your good at hiding wires then your better off without it.
What's great about it: wireless
What's not so great: noise, range
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This worked fine - speakers snapped right up - I kind of liked the volume - you can overcrank your rear speakers if that is what you are into... The big thing was that it all but wiped out anything wireless in my house.
It probably should say something about that on the box.
If you are using this product, and your wireless has seemed somewhat squirrelly ever since, try turning it off.
For that reason, I was left with the annoying task of turning the thing on and off when I was using the Internet. On my way to returning, and buying about 150' of speaker wire...
What's great about it: Works as advertised
What's not so great: Wipes out your wireless internet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a new house recently and when I moved in, I realized I had a dilemna: there was no way I could run my surround speaker wire to the rear speakers without it cutting straight across the living room. With hardwood floors, I couldn't even run it under the carpet.
I have a high-end audio system and had heard bad things about wireless speaker kits. SInce poor surround was better than no surround, I opted to try out the Rocketfish wireless kit with my Klipsch speakers.
I was not disappointed.
It took about 10 minutes to set it all up and the receiver and transmitter units are small enough to be discrete, yet effective. Line of sight is recommended, but not absolutely necessary.
I have a pretty sensitive ear for noise and I have noticed no loss of fidelity and quality, even with Blu-Ray movies with this system. I recommend it to anyone who requires a wireless surround sound solution to their home theater.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, audio quality, range
What's not so great: Price
