Wireless speaker question

Keoin18

hey guys,

Looking for advice for what “should” be a simple solution.
I have an av receiver one side of the room. I want to use for the tv setup so can make it stereo. I have some bookshelves.
I can wire one speaker locally there no problem.
I want to have the complimentary speaker the other side of the space however I can’t run speaker cable. I have a power source there but I cannot mess up the room with wandering speaker cable.

Is there a wireless system that works with speaker cable into an av receiver? Like some kind of tx to rx?
Also using the receivers Bluetooth ain’t really an option as this will be a zone 2 config.

Thanks in advance

Eoin

Hi Eoin.

There wouldn't be anything that we could supply that would allow for converting wired speakers to wireless unfortunately.

I can't seem to see too much online either.
There is a bit of Kit by Marmitek which is designed for rear speakers but I'm sure it would work with front speakers too as it just connects into the speaker terminals on the amp, so you could just connect it to one side of the fronts that you want on the other side of the room. Lets say the left side, so wire this into the Marmitek unit and then the receiver part into the speaker, then wire the one closest to the amp directly into the amp.
I'm not sure if this would cause a lag/time delay between the two speakers though as only one would be connected to the wireless transmitter.
I've never used this so not sure on the quality.

There is also rumour the SVS will be releasing something similar but no further details on this just yet.

thanks for the quick reply Kenny,

Yeah there isn’t much out there for it , I would have thought the market would be there for it. Thanks for that suggestion, found the older version on Amazon for bout 50% less.
thanks!

Hey Eoin.

Happy Days that you were able to get the older version at a good price.

Drop me a little post once you get things setup to let me know that it worked for you.

hey Kenny,

Yeah have had a few days to test. Zone 2 is still a bit confusing but have it working as expected.
the Marmitek speaker anywhere 650 is an interesting bit of kit. It works as expected, though my small satellite speakers don’t output amazing audio anyways it does the job.
I do need to keep the transmitter and receiver off though when not in use.
the signal from it seems to mess with anything near it. Bluetooth, and WiFi. My Mac keeps dropping signal around it and my harmony remote seems to crap itself too when it’s on.
once I considered this it’s more or less the setup I was aiming for!

Thanks for the help!!

Hey Keoin18.

It good to know that you got it to do what you required from it, even with the few niggles.

If I can help in any way in future please don't hesitate to drop me a post or PM.

Have a great weekend.
