Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy high-quality stereo or surround sound without the hassle of running speaker wires throughout the house with this pair of RCA wireless speakers. Ideal when teamed with a traditional stereo receiver or as rear surround speakers in a comprehensive 5.1-channel system, the RC970s receive their signal from a three-channel transmitter, which connects to your receiver via an included 6-foot audio cord. Once setup is complete, you can locate the speakers anywhere in the room provided an electrical outlet is nearby. The wireless system is great for wide-open rooms where speaker cable would otherwise run across walkways, or for listeners who just want a clean, uncluttered look.

The speakers aren't built for power at 10 watts each, but they do sound rich and crisp thanks to the 5-inch woofers and 2-inch tweeters. They also boast separate bass and treble controls, giving listeners more control over the audio performance. As an added bonus, users can connect a portable audio device directly to the speakers through the variety of inputs, which include RCA, wire clamp, and 3.5 mm jacks. The latter feature makes the RC970s even more portable.

Each speaker measures 12 by 17 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts.

I Like These Speakers!.......2007-04-12

I have several different models of wireless speakers. I am an artist and I must have the proper atmosphere to create art, so I have wireless speakers all over my home by Acoustic Research, RadioShack (RCA), and "Velocity". The only other wireless speakers that are just a little better are also RCA but they were manufactured for RadioShack and are no longer available. The WSP250s are fine, 4 and 1/2 stars. There is some noise sometimes in the background, requiring me to switch channels in the back of the unit. Not a big problem, but, again, the RadioShack model requires zero adjustment and has a fuller sound. The WSP250s can use a tighter bass, but they sound crisp and clear. I wonder why these speakers don't sell more than they do. They work very well. They are big and I wouldn't hang them on a wall. The phased locked loop circuitry works well, and the power is adequate. Highly recommended.

Tetchy.......2005-11-22

I spent the first couple days after receiving these speakers trying to decide whether to return them or not. The technology seems to be incredibly sensitive to any number of things. I'll try to list some suggestions for things to try before you give up on them.

1) My audio source was a 1/8" stereo (mini-jack) plug from my computer. The speakers come with a cable with a 1/8" jack on one end and 2 RCA connectors on the other end. When I connected the RCA connectors to the transmitter, the sound was always very weak and distorted. I finally connected my own Y-adapter to convert the RCA connectors back to 1/8" (so the cable was now 1/8" jacks on both ends) and plugged it into the 1/8" plug on the transmitter, and the sound was much better.

2) The transmitter and speakers have a choice of 3 channels (they all must be using the same one). I tried plugging the transmitter into different outlets around my home. I found that in some of them, channels 1 and 3 wouldn't work at all while channel 2 still would. So when you first set things up I'd suggest using channel 2 to start off testing.

3) The troubleshooting part of the instructions warns not to plug the transmitter or speakers into a surge protector, and I found this to be true. It also warns about halogen lamps and light dimmers causing interference. My halogen lights didn't seem to be a problem, but my kitchen dimmer switch caused noise regardless of which outlets I used for the transmitter and speakers. With no audio source playing, you might try turning up the volume all the way on the speakers to make it easier to hear the noise as you go around turning things off and on to test.

4) It goes against the grain, but the speakers sound is generally louder and fuller if you switch them both to Mono rather than designating them as right and left channels.

5) The system acts more like it is transmitting a radio signal than traveling through the electrical wiring. The transmitter would be working and then I'd set it on my metal monitor stand and it would stop. One of the speakers will lose connection if I place my hands on both sides of it or sometimes just stand in front of it. At one point I could make it play simply by plugging in a 12' extension cord (not connected to anything) into an outlet in another room. Then I could make it stop by standing over the end of the extension cord (not touching it) or starting to fold it up.

6) The speakers are more picky about the source volume level than the main speaker system hooked to my computer. The sound was a little harsh and distorted until I reduced the level.

7) Pay attention to the 6 x 7 x 11 dimensions. The speakers are about twice the size I had assumed they'd be - too large and heavy to hang up on the walls as I'd intended.

Despite all that, I'm probably going to keep them. With a lot of tweaking they can give a fairly acceptable sound. And Amazon has them heavily discounted at the moment ($79.98). The few other amplified speakers I found were usually around $300, and then I'd still have to run wire(s) to them.

simple and convenient.......2005-04-30

With all the failed trials of poor quality of 900 MHz and X-10 wireless audio, I've been waiting for audio powerline products for years. Finally!!! This is the first product of its kind and I can't understand why these speakers aren't in every store around the country. They are cheap, you don't have to run wires through your house, and you don't have to configure some confusing and expensive computer based wireless systems with all their components and software. It's perfect.

I live in a one bedroom apartment in a small 6 story building. I connected standard left and right audio plugs from the output of my small bookshelf stereo to the input of the RC970 transmitter. I plugged the AC plug of the transmitter into a wall plug in my living room.

I read that surge protectors can interfere with any type of powerline technology whether it be audio, Ethernet, USB, etc., so I reserved a wall outlet solely for the transmitter.

Then I plugged one speaker into a wall outlet in my bedroom and the other speaker in the bathroom. I switched both speakers to the mono setting. I discovered that this setting actually mixes the left and right channel signal for playback. This is evident by the sound level boost as opposed to the lower sound level when only one (left or right) channel setting is selected on the speaker.

I set the transmitter and the speakers to the same transmission and receiving channels. I turned on my stereo and played a CD, went to the two rooms, turned on the speakers and now I have music throughout my home.

One thing I did discover that you should know about. When I plugged in a speaker into a wall outlet that was on the same circuit as my fairly high wattage ceiling halogen track lights there was static and interference. To correct the problem, I simply moved the speaker to another AC outlet and the problem was solved.

The sound quality is very very respectable for the size and configuration of these speakers. I never expected them to sound like expensive, in the wall, hardwired speakers. I was looking for a good combination of installation ease, quality and price. I found it!!

I bought the complete set of transmitter and 2 speakers on Ebay for $70. Excellent deal!

I would recommend these speakers highly to anyone who wants to broadcast music throughout their house on a budget without tearing up the walls to install wires and in wall speakers. Truly amazing!!

This is a decent product!.......2004-12-23

I bought a refurbed pair from eBay. I experienced no static issues
from any outlet in the house. Sound quality is OK and is better
than wireless speakers I have tried.

Just do not work.......2004-10-15

I have these in same room with transmitter, and have tried all ways of tuning/locating. When they work, very good, but they will not stay tuned on same program. Emit loads of static and whistles. Will only tune with volume at max on tv. Upstairs I have ARs & they work wondorously, even on low TV volume. The ARs also emit a wider sound spectrum. These RCAs are not as good as the speakers that came with my PC.

Bad.......2004-09-18

Has issues. The screen keeps blanking out, the controls are messed up, trying to adjust anything (brightness, contrast etc) makes the monitor crash. (The on scree interface actually locks up!)

Cheaply made.

Lacks durability.......2003-03-21

I have had this monitor for seven months and the screen image has totally faded. I can't see even black words on the screen. I am having to ship the monitor to California at my own expense. I am very disappointed with this product.

Loved it for 5 months, now it's dead!.......2003-01-19

This monitor produced a wonderful picture for the money, for 5 months. Then it went black. Bought it at CompUSA--they don't want to know, because I didn't purchase the... service contract. They will not return calls. So, I'm dealing with the manufacturer and have to ship the unit at my expense to New Jersey for repair. Thank goodness I still had the old monitor around (can't just put it in the dumpster, can we?!!) or I'd be computer-less in the interim. I notice Amazon has discontinued this model--are they on to something? I wouldn't buy this headache again.

great and shart image.......2003-01-16

this kind of monitor dont burns your eyes when u works all night on a homework. great price.

Well worth the Money.......2002-12-17

This was a choice in my gold box or I might not have bought it. I would have been missing out on a very good monitor if I hadn't.

I just bought a new 2.53 gigahertz multi media computer running XP home edition and wanted a monitor with a small footprint but still able to handle graphics intense functions. Set up was a breeze. I just plugged it in and it was recognized at once. While I normally use a 17 inch monitor, I have to say that this 15 inch LCD monitor was easier to read, especially at a distance.

I am definitely pleased with this product.
