Wireless Surround Sound Products Investigated

By Mike Heller


You'll find quite a few options offered designed for setting up rear home entertainment loudspeakers including directly attaching your loudspeakers to your Surround receiver or using a wireless surround sound kit to get rid of the loudspeaker cord clutter. Cordless surround loudspeaker kits are all around now. Below, I'll review the way those cordless products are powered plus explain a few prerequisites that the integrated power source of these types of systems has to meet.

The lengthy loudspeaker cord from the front to the back of your space is eliminated through these types of systems. Having said that, there will nevertheless be cables. Because both the cordless transmitter and also receiver require power, you will see a power cord between each of these components and the mains wall socket. Various types come with an exterior wallwart while some others have an integrated power source. Both of those choices possess pluses and minuses.

Cordless receivers which include an external ac adapter don't need to include a power supply. Consequently these can be produced substantially smaller. The external ac adapter generally is fairly small too and generally plugs directly into a mains outlet. One other type of AC adapter features an IEC type power jack. This jack attaches to a mains outlet by employing a power cord. Those AC adapters are very comparable to those made use of by laptops. Bundling a separate wallwart is really useful from a company's point of view since regardless what nation the system is sold to, a country-specific wallwart will be bundled. Secondly, wallwarts are simpler and much less expensive to safety approve in comparison with complete systems. In addition, in the event a power source becomes faulty, it's simpler and less expensive to swap only the power source than the entire item. Wireless receivers that include the power supply are normally larger than models that have an external supply but are a bit easier to put in.

Next, I will focus on which requirements the power supply needs to meet. Safety is critical. Thus, the power supply has to comply with the safety standards which relate to every country that the model is offered in. The regulations are designed to make sure that there's sufficient protection in order to prevent injury to people in the case of line fault situations. The insulation from the mains voltage should satisfy rigorous prerequisites. An additional factor covered by many safety regulations is the behavior of the power supply while in normal operation. You will find standards pertaining to how warm the power supply may become plus how effectively it's going to protect itself in the case of overload or over-temperature situations.

A further crucial prerequisite would be that the power supply provide enough current to the built-in wireless signal receiver and also audio amplifier. The power supply has to be dimensioned large enough in order to supply the power amp with ample current in order to drive an attached speaker at the rated RMS wattage level no less than 10 minutes. More important than the continuous current rating is the top current rating. Music signals hardly ever possess a constant power envelope. Rather, music has plenty of spikes. Because of this the power source needs to be in a position to maintain a pretty big peak current during short time bursts. Dependent on the power amp's capability to compensate for power-supply noise and ripple, there could possibly be quite strict prerequisites relating to the amount of noise as well as ripple. Several high-end music gear employs linear power supplies in spite of their weight plus dimensions due to the excellent noise behavior. Without a doubt the vast majority of the latest consumer systems use switched-mode power sources because of their small size. In most cases the interior parts need several supply voltages. Consequently lots of power sources offer several supply voltages. Lastly, the power supply must have ample overload and also over-temperature protection to keep everything safe in case there is a fault of the power amp.
