Help! I Need a surround sound expert!?
I own an Onkyo surround sound model HT-S580. I have the wired speakers with the wires hidden in the wall surrounding my main room. I want to add more speakers around my pool table…..which is in my basement, around the corner from the tv…..it would be nice to be able to listen to a game without being able to see the tv while playing pool. My basement is wood flooring, not carpet, so I dont want to run wires for these extra speakers across the whole damn room on the floor. What I need to know is if this Onkyo model is compatible with wireless speakers. I would like to add wireless speakers to the surround sound receiver and put them around the table. If anyone could please tell me If I can do this with this model, and more importantly how, I would really appreciate it.
I know sound quality may not be as good with wireless, but Id rather have that than wires running all over the place…..In a basement so they cannot be run through ceiling, its not a drop ceiling its plaster
Wireless will work with 99.9% of systems.
Instructions included with what ever system you decide to buy will explain it all
you can hook up wireless speakers to it. however there is a splitter out there… that you may want to look into and run the wires that way, I’m sure if you give it enough thought you can keep the wires hidden.
If you do go wireless it’s a matte of hooking up the transmitter to the speaker output, then setting up the speakers. Again, not knowing the layout of where your pool table is in respect to your receiver, I can’t give you a hard and fast answer on how well the signal will be received.
With all that said, I’d be more inclined if I were to do this with my system, I’d look into the speaker output splitter, I’m sure you can find them at Best Buy. I have seen them in the past, but never needed to use them.
