Works Flawlessly

on November 14, 2013

Posted by: ChicagoSteve

from Chicago

I am very pleased with this unit after using it for two weeks. It worked exactly as advertised and seems to be working flawlessly. I'm using it with my rear surround speakers in my 5.1 surround setup. My living room is on the small side and I would estimate that my TV and front speakers are about 15 feet from my rear speakers. I have no Wi-Fi or portable phone interference whatsoever but the nearest Wi-Fi router is about 40 feet away and these units are only separated by about 15 feet.

I had no problem balancing the surround sound on my Yamaha high-powered receiver after setting the volume control on this device's amplifier to full. I then used my amplifier's surround settings volume controls to balance everything out.

The only minor drawback to this unit is the relatively low power output (30 watts RMS per channel) when my Yamaha receiver puts out 200 watts RMS per channel. I was still able to balance the sound though and so far, I have not heard any clipping or distortion coming from the rear speakers at the volume levels that I listen to movies at.

Overall, this is a no-brainer purchase at this price for anyone that needs a wireless rear amplifier to listen to movies or music at moderate (normal) levels of volume.

If you have a very large room, a theater, or like to listen at levels that will cause temporary hearing loss, divorce proceedings, or police calls by neighbors, then you may want to spend more money and get a higher powered model or just drill holes in your floors and hard-wire your speakers.

What's great about it: Easy setup; Works Exactly as Advertised

What's not so great: Relatively Low Audio Power

I would recommend this to a friend!
