The WSK- Because it only has an RCA mono input/output, the 100 is only for subwoofers, but the WRSK-100 is for everything else. 250 can be used to make either a 2 or a 3. A single set up or a back surround set up is available.
Yes, the WSK-100 can be used with multiple receivers. WRSK-100 or 100 With the WRSK-250, you can have multiple subwoofers and speakers/subs. 250

For years, I've had a surround sound system set up with wireless subwoofers that have worked flawlessly. Due to a recent reorganization, I was no longer able to run a wire for my rear surround speakers. My current sub-woofer wireless setup was a single-channel sub-woofer. I needed a new system that could handle both my surround speakers and my primary system. The fact that it claimed 34 available wifi channels to help avoid interference drew me to it, as did the fact that it had a 100' line of sight range. My setup would be 25' long with line of sight, so it should be fine. br>br>At the end of the day, it was a nightmare. br>br>Setup was simple, the units look great and are a good size, and the indicators are clear enough to understand what's going on, but I couldn't find a wifi channel without interference. To change channels and avoid interference, the instructions say to press the M button on both devices simultaneously (25' apart in my case). After waiting about 20 seconds for the devices to reconnect, I used my receiver's speaker setup/tuning white noise to check for signal stability. After enlisting the help of members of my family on three separate occasions, each attempt taking about a minute, we were unable to find a 'channel' that did not pop/breakup/fadeout/dropout within seconds. Furthermore, the device does not indicate which 'channel' you are using. So, when you press the M button on both devices, do you select a channel that might work on the fly, or do you cycle through the ostensibly 34 channels in order? We pressed the buttons 40 times (this time simultaneously with two people 25' apart) and never found a channel that worked for more than a minute. I emailed OSD via their website's support address, asking how this channel switching worked in practice and for advice on how to avoid interference. After more than a week, there has been no response. br>br>This is a huge letdown. In terms of wifi interference, I don't believe my home presents a significant challenge. There's only one of us. We are in a detached single family home with a 4ghz wifi access point. We share wifi with our two closest neighbors, but it's nothing compared to what you'd find in a townhouse or condo/apartment. This is being returned, and I cannot recommend it in any way.
Once you've figured out how to install it, it's a fantastic product. For me, the most important thing was to keep the transmitter and receiver inches apart. Then, as instructed in the manual, press the channel button on the back. They can be moved away from one another once they have established communication. After a week of installation, there have been no complaints.
After reading other people's reviews, I decided to keep an open mind and give this product a try. On the same day, I received the package and began the return process. The signal is intermittent (out of a five minute period, I believe I got less than 40 seconds of sound output from the subwoofer), even at very high volumes, and the receivers are within 15 feet of each other. For the past two years, I've been using a wireless transmitter/receiver for my rear surround speakers and have never had a problem (though I did have to turn down the volume on those). For my subwoofer, I decided to look for a similar setup, but this isn't it. If it helps, I'm using an Onkyo 5-channel surround sound system. receiver of a channel I also tried to get a closer look at the transmitter/receiver but was unsuccessful.
If there is no other option, I would not recommend it. While this works in theory, there is a significant audio delay (100-200 milliseconds). 250ms), which irritates me to no end. There must also be sufficient gain to cause this device to send. My receiver's gain is set as high as it can go, but it still only plays the big bass moments in movies, and it does so with a noticeable delay. Other scenes with low bass are either partially or completely clipped, ruining the movie's experience. This thing works okish for music at very high volumes (which aren't practical for a home), but it still has a significant delay. I would only recommend it if you had no other choice, especially at this price.
When I turn on the receivers, they make a loud bang, and then the surround speakers produce annoying interference noise. Return to the previous page. br>.
I should've paid more attention to the other one-star reviews. I was persuaded by the five-star reviews to take a chance on these, and it was a bad decision. My sound system is an Onkyo TX- The NR 676 receiver will not trigger and start transmitting unless my subwoofer level is at 12db and the volume is at least 55 (which is quite loud), and even at that volume, there are intermittent disconnects. To get a consistent signal, the volume must be set to 60 or higher, which is loud enough to wake up the neighbors. Needless to say, this is not a product I would recommend.
The subwoofer is constantly cutting out less than ten feet from the stereo because it is out of sync. Even when they were set up in a line of sight with no interference, they cut out at low volume.
In my family room, I wanted to relocate my subwoofer to a less visible location. At 2 a. m. , I already had wireless speakers set up. I was concerned about interference at 4 GHz. The fact that it has 32 channels made me feel more confident about purchasing it. br>br>It took some time to get everything set up, but I finally got it to work. THIS IS HOW I ACTUALLY ACTUALLY ACTUALLY ACTUALLY ACTUAL It was cutting in and out when I first started with it. I was only playing for about a third of the time, and I was miserable. "OK, this is terrible," I thought. " Then I remembered reading somewhere (I'm not sure if it was for this device or not) that you had to set the transmitter unit to the highest signal and then use the speaker output to control the volume. So I did it. br>br> And it works! br>br> br>br>That trick isn't in the manual, but make a mental note of it and you'll be fine. br>br>Now I'm really excited.
