This wireless transmitter and receiver system
use the latest 5.8 GHz technology that travels
through walls, floors, ceilings and other
obstacles, delivering high quality sound for
your home theater system's rear surround
speakers. Using this wireless system, you will
experience movie theater quality sound in
your own home using your current home
theater surround system. We have designed
this system for use with your surround sound
home theater system to enhance the quality
of the sound and balance coming from your
speakers. You can now eliminate running
long speaker wires through your rooms, while
enhancing the sound coming from those
speakers.

How It Works

The transmitter converts the audio signal
from your audio source into a 5.8GHz radio
!
frequency and transmits it to the receiver.
The receiver will pick up the best signal from
one of its two antennas and convert the
signal back to its original form. Using a
powerful amplifier, the signal is passed to
your connected rear surround speakers. The
result is an enhanced sound quality resulting
in a theater quality surround sound
experience.

the link's connected speakers respond
accordingly.
