Based on 5GHz WiFi Direct, clean sound! Posted by: rwojo from: Atlanta, GA on I've been having issues with my Yahama YSP-5100 sound bar, which has a wireless subwoofer feature already. The symptoms included: - Interference with 2.4GHz devices including WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee - Clicks/pops when on (interference from other 2.4GHz devices most likely) I've been searching for a wireless subwoofer kit, but most are in the $150-200 range. Then I found this Rocketfish subwoofer kit for a fraction of that. I'm happy to say it works GREAT! I looked up the FCC ID and it seems to be based on Ozmo 5GHz WiFi direct radios, which explains why it doesn't seem to bother my 2.4GHz devices or be bothered by others. My condo is extremely dense and congested. However this Ozmo-based device is a P2P WiFi Direct link. It obeys by standard WiFi rules on standard WiFi 802.11n channels. It's low latency, doesn't seem to interfere with other devices and because it is 5GHz, doesn't go through walls like 2.4GHz and thus is a great short-range solution for everyone. The device itself is small, easy to set up, and the only thing I can really fault is the auto-sleep feature. After 5 minutes it shuts off and can take a few seconds to start back up when it detects LFE audio. That means if you pause a movie to go make some popcorn, it may take ~5-10 seconds before you get your LFE channel back after hitting play. All in all, not really much of an issue.

Too much delay Posted by: TimTime from: Orlando, Fl on I couldn't get a tight bass with this thing. There is a delay of the signal and with bass, especially for music, that's not good. I'm a musician myself and there is nothing worse than a lagging bass. I tried messing with my distance and delay settings on my receiver but i couldn't find one that I was happy with. It might be alright for movies but for music, I need a direct connection. I have the rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit too and that works fine even with a tad bit of delay because with high frequencies you wont notice it that much. But with low frequencies, timing is everything.

Drops Connection Posted by: Underhill from: Rhode Island on I purchased this in August, and initially it seemed to work. Then I started noticing the absence of a subwoofer sound. When I checked the wireless transmitters, the LED's were red instead of blue, which means they had no connection. Because the devices go to sleep if there's no subwoofer traffic, it was difficult to know whether the wireless, subwoofer, or other devices were to blame, the problem took a while to sort out. After working with a support technician at the Geek Squad call-in number, who showed me how to reboot the device and reconnect, I got the devices to connect for a short period and then disconnect. As a result, I brought the kit back to my local Best Buy, where I was able to exchange my device for another. But the problems persisted. Of course diagnosing the problem took longer than the 15-day return period Best Buy offers, so I can't even return it. This product just doesn't work.

Sub cuts out at low volume Posted by: Rick from: on I hooked this kit up and tested with music first and everything seemed fine. It wasn't until after watching some TV that I noticed the sub would pretty much go in and out on little to no bass scenes. For example, if there was a quiet conversation going on between people there would be somewhat of a white noise with the subwoofer and then it would stop. The sound of the subwoofer would also completely stop past a certain low volume on the receiver. At first I thought this was a function of the subwoofer I just bought and was almost disappointed. Then I unplugged the wireless and plugged in the coaxial cable I had and found none of these issues. I can hear the sub constantly even at a very low volume. I'm using with a Pioneer receiver and a Klipsch SW-112 Subwoofer about 12 feet apart. I'll be returning this kit and running a cord down to the basement and through the floor.

What a surprise!!! This think works like a CHAMP!! Posted by: rawint from: Miami, FL on After we installed our Home Theater system, and spent way too much money having all of the speakers wired through the ceiling and walls, we realized that the subwoofer was way to close to both the wall and a furniture piece (causing BOTH to rattle)! We thought we were out of luck, and since the walls and ceiling had long since been closed back up, we thought that buying a new wireless subwoofer would be the only solution. Problem with that, aside from just spending A LOT of money on a KEF reference sub, was that our receiver was located in the next room, in an AV closet, and wouldn't have direct line of site to the subwoofer (which, from what we saw online, most/all needed). Needless to say, we were very frustrated... That was, until we found this cheap (but effortless/amazing) solution!!! This thing works EXACTLY as promised, and then some. There's been one or two instances where it lost the signal, but it is such an easy fix that it's almost a non-issue (just need to press the link button on either the transmitter or receiver). Overall, I can't say enough good things about this product... I was hesitant to buy a RocketFish product (only because I had never used them before), and I must say I was wrong to be!!! AAA++++++++

Could not get these to work Posted by: ReviewerA1 from: New Orleans on I could not get this wireless kit to work in my system. I have a Emotiva UMC-1 processor leading to 2 Epik Empire subs. I was hoping to use these to locate the subs in the corner of the room, but I could not get them to work. The subs (and rocketfish receiver) were within line of sight and range of the rocket fish transmitters, but they never received a signal. Back they went. I am sure they may work for other systems.

Does not work as expected Posted by: Bill101 from: on I purchased the wireless kit for my new subwoofer. It did not transmit the base signal at all. It popped occasionally and would let out a sudden burst of base sound. I purchased in person at the store, so I didn't read reviews. After having problems, I read reviews, and found other people were commenting on the popping, so I exchanged them for a new box, in case I got a bad one. Not so much, the second one wouldn't transmit at all. I returned for full refund, and purchased a different, well reviewed wireless kit online and it works as if it was wired. Don't buy this brand.

No cables invold so it is and does fit into any decore without the bundle problem of cables. you can even hide sub in a corner to get the advange of wall helping to max sub overtones. Capt

It works great! Posted by: sa7733 from: on Having this has enabled me to move my Klipsch sub 12" to the back corner of the room and keep it from cancelling out my right front speaker and evening out the low frequencies. And, putting it in the back corner also helps blast the sound off the walls.

Excellent wireless subwoofer kit Posted by: GuyF from: on I have looked for a wireless subwoofer kit and finally found the best one for me. I have tested a couple low end kits at the $40-ish price with 3.5mm sockets, 2.4Mhz, using a mobile phone chargers to power them ; I had disconnections, noises, booming sound sporadically. I also read that there are interferences with the Internet wireless router. Well, I am happy so say, after hours of listening, none of the issues noticed. I have dual band Internet wireless router and there are no interferences. Some technical aspects, I am powering the sub with Yamaha 3020 and calibrated it with the mic. There isn't lose in any frequency, however there is about 45msec delay. The sub is 6 feet from the listening location and the receiver has set the distance to 56 feet. Make sure your receiver is capable to set high distance to compensate on this latency. The async may be annoying for some audiophile's ears. Net-net, I highly recommend this kit. You get the best value for this price.
