My usage for this item is probably not exactly what the mfg intended. I had a set of outdoor speakers sitting in a closet long before I had an outdoor patio to use them. Now that I have a patio, I need to get music pumping through these speakers. Enter Rocketfish. The distance between my stereo receiver and the outdoor speakers is only about 30' at the most, and I was only going through one wall. But I wanted to find a wireless device because I did not want to run speaker wire directly through walls/ceiling/etc. I was able to find a 10"x7" electrical enclosure online, which I've mounted to the outside of the house, and the Rocketfish receiver is mounted into that - making the device summer-time weather-proof (I carved-out some openings for access to the speaker inputs/buttons/volume, so I will probably need to bring it in during the winter). But I've got to say that this Rocketfish device is really handling this set-up very well. The sound does cut out for about 3 seconds on occasion - random interference with the wireless signal, which I cannot forcibly reproduce. It happens maybe once during an afternoon or evening sitting on the patio. I know that you can just buy a set of wireless-ready speakers, but if you've got existing speakers and don't want to drill holes and run wire, this is a workable solution.
BTW, my complaint stems from the fact that I've got the AC power of the wireless router plugged into one of the ports on my Onkyo receiver. Whenever I turn on the receiver, the router turns on and starts looking for a connection. So I've got to turn off the router if I'm just listening to music indoors. Or I could find another wall outlet for the router, but I'm done working for today....

What's great about it: Nice design, works well
What's not so great: Wish the router didn't automatically turn on
I would recommend this to a friend!
