Morgan
Hill, Calif. – Active-subwoofer supplier Velodyne
introduced a wireless system that turns any brand of active subwoofer into a
wireless subwoofer.
The
$169 WiConnect System consists of a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver with a
50-foot range. Users connect the transmitter into the line-level or LFE output
jack of an A/V receiver. The WiConnect receiver in turn connects to the
subwoofer’s input.
The
transmitter sends signals to up to four receivers, allowing
for the installation of up to four subwoofers in a sound system.
The
company already offers a subwoofer with included wireless. That model, the $399
WiConnect-10,
features a wireless range of up
to 50
feet, 10-inch driver
and 125-watt RMS power output.
