How to Make a Wireless Surround System

Convert to wireless speakers.

One of the major issues with most sound systems involves the wires that need to run from the receiver to the speakers. This forces you to either keep the speakers close to the receiver or to look at ugly wires streaming from the components. To correct this issue, you can make a wireless surround-sound system in which the satellite speakers connect to the receiver through a wireless transmission.

Things You'll Need

• Surround sound receiver
• Wireless speakers
• Wireless transmitter

Instructions

1. Position the wireless transmitter next to the receiver. You need the transmitter to send the audio signals to the different speakers.

2. Connect the cables running out of the wireless transmitter into the "Audio Out" ports for the left and right rear speakers. This sends the audio signal for the rear speakers into the wireless transmitter, which then sends the wireless signal to the speakers.

3. Position the left and right speakers behind where you intend to sit (or along side if your chair is already against the wall).

4. Repeat the connection process with the front satellite speakers. You need a different wireless transmitter because the transmitters only support two different speakers at a time.

5. Power on the wireless transmitters and the surround-sound receiver to test the system.
