In addition, the transmitter connects to as many as three independent audio sources at once. Want to listen to your iPod without disconnecting from the DVD player or the stereo amp? No problem, as the Music Sphere's two line-in jacks and RCA left/right input keep you fully connected. Even more impressively, the Music Sphere is equipped with remote "learning" and "repeat" functions. This lets you both control the speaker functions through a connected source's remote while also controlling the source itself through the speaker. In other words, you won't need to trudge across the house to increase the volume or skip tracks--just point the CD player's remote at the speaker and you're set.
Listeners will also appreciate the Music Sphere's adjustable bass and treble controls, along with the three-color LCD display with indicators for clock, volume, bass and treble levels, input selection, and battery levels. The display even changes color based on which source is currently playing. Additional features include a built-in clock, a wall-mount bracket for the speaker, and a total power output of 6 watts (1.5 watts x 2, plus 3-watt subwoofer).
The speaker, which measures 8 by 7.4 by 7.7 inches (W x H x D), runs for approximately five days on six C-size batteries (assuming around four hours of operation per day). The transmitter, meanwhile, checks in at 4.5 by 4.2 by 4.5 inches. The entire system is backed by a one-year warranty.
What's in the Box
Wireless speaker, transmitter, two AC adapters (one each for speaker and transmitter), Y audio cable, wall-mount bracket, four screws, allen key, lint-free cloth, warranty card, quick-start guide, user's manual.

Suffice to say....I think these could be the MOST IMPRESSIVE Wireless Speakers I have ever owned.....and I've owned them all from 900mhz ones to fancy Sony 2.4ghz ones. All came with a downside of some sort whether it be Hiss, distortion, poor sound quality, low volume....etc. These have none of those problems While 1st testing....I was blasting music on these.......1st in a bathroom.......Zero Hiss.........I was like "How loud can I make these baby go??" Suffice to say......very loud (you can definitely crank them up).....They have clear highs, and nice Bass and you can adjust the Treble and Bass. Also...very simple setup....literally plug and play and it supports up to 3 different inputs. I was absolutely amazed by the range of these.....as I was easily beyond 90+ Feet......I walked all over indoors with the remote speaker in my arm (it's not that heavy even...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By iguanadom (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Oregon Scientific WRS368 Music Sphere Wireless Speaker with Transmitter (Electronics) I recently bought three thinking that I could use them with my iPod simultaneously but turns out that you can't. However, I bought a Radioshack 4-way Distribution Amplifier which allowed me to do this perfectly. Just connect what you want to hear into the audio input ports (buy an extra RCA to 1/4" cable), and the transmitters go into the output ports with the RCA to 1/4" cables that they include. That way you can use the multiple speakers anywhere within range and hear the same music on them. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By nobaboon "nobaboon" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Oregon Scientific WRS368 Music Sphere Wireless Speaker with Transmitter (Electronics) The sound is totally acceptable when it's working, with some occasional pops/clicks. I'm using it outside on my balcony so I don't have to blast speakers inside, annoying my neighbors. Problem is I have a lot of wifi equipment near it, and it seems to be overwhelmed by it, causing it to drop out often, and it's only 10 feet away from the transmitter. If I move the transmitter, it will also cause the wireless connection on anything close to flutter. It's fine, but not great solution if you are streaming music over your wireless network, or ... even have a wireless network, apparently! (802.11b and 802.11g use 2.4ghz, same as this device) |
