JBL Wireless Speakers Gets Rid of Cable Clutter

When implementing speakers into a home audio system, compromises are made along the way in terms of aesthetics. Nothing ruins the décor of a living space like speaker cables all over the floor. Sure, in-wall installations for speaker cables are an option, but that is an added cost and you have to make sure your speaker cable is graded for in-wall installations. Furthermore, this is not an option for people with concrete or brick walls and renters.

An option for those who don’t want the clutter of cables everywhere and can’t or don’t want to go with an in-wall installation is a wireless speaker system. Wireless systems have been the bane of audiophiles for years, and for good reason; many of them were terrible. However, strides have been made with wireless technology over the years and there are quite a few excellent wireless systems to choose from these days.

The JBL on air control 2.4g wireless speaker system is a fine choice for those looking for a wireless solution. You can use them as stereo speakers your iPod, computer or CD player. or as surround speakers in a home theater set-up. The speakers come with a 2.4GHz transmitter that allows for up to 70ft of rich, clear sound without interference. JBL is well known for offering quality speaker products, and this wireless system is no exception.

How will a laptop interface with the wireless device that then transmits the signal to speakers? Can the laptop send the signal to the wireless transmitter and then get sent on to the speaker? In this way one could use a laptop wirelessly to be streaming audio wirelessly to speakers in the house. Is this possible with this system?

Craig, simply connect the wireless transmitter/receiver to your laptop and you will have access to your audio files on the laptop. From there you can place the speakers anywhere and listen to them.

The speakers and controls are wireless, the transmitter has to be connected to your source. Think of it like how you would a wireless router.
