Digital camera reviews of RCA RC970 Wireless Stereo Speaker System (Pair)
Digital camera Review: A good idea that failed in execution.
Summary: 1 Stars
My intent was to pipe music from my living room to my office (about 25 feet). The RCA RC970 Powerline Speakers seemed like a good idea that unfortunately failed in execution. I tried five different speaker locations in my office, and any combinations of power outlets that they would reach in those different locations, and none of them worked in stereo. One or the two speakers would not have signal either immediately or loose signal in moments. I spent dozen's of trips back and forth setting the different channels on the speakers and the base station trying to get a setup to work. I also experienced interference static at one setup position when the speaker was within two feet of my computer monitor. I would not recommend these speakers to anyone, however if your considering one speaker per room set to mono or using outlets in the same room as the base station than I could understand your considering them, for when I tested them in the same room that had the base station they functioned correctly. When the speakers worked the sound was good, better than any computer speaker systems I've heard although less that you could expect to hear from similarly priced speakers hard wired into your system.
Summary of RCA RC970 Wireless Stereo Speaker System (Pair)
RCA Wireless Stereo Speaker w/ Phase-Locked Loop Technology. Transmits audio signal through walls, floors and ceilings up to 300' . Connects with virtually any audio source. Audio frequency response; 50Hz - 15kHzEnjoy high-quality stereo or surround sound without the hassle of running speaker wires throughout the house with this pair of RCA wireless speakers. Ideal when teamed with a traditional stereo receiver or as rear surround speakers in a comprehensive 5.1-channel system, the RC970s receive their signal from a three-channel transmitter, which connects to your receiver via an included 6-foot audio cord. Once setup is complete, you can locate the speakers anywhere in the room provided an electrical outlet is nearby. The wireless system is great for wide-open rooms where speaker cable would otherwise run across walkways, or for listeners who just want a clean, uncluttered look.
The speakers aren't built for power at 10 watts each, but they do sound rich and crisp thanks to the 5-inch woofers and 2-inch tweeters. They also boast separate bass and treble controls, giving listeners more control over the audio performance. As an added bonus, users can connect a portable audio device directly to the speakers through the variety of inputs, which include RCA, wire clamp, and 3.5 mm jacks. The latter feature makes the RC970s even more portable.
Each speaker measures 12 by 17 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty on parts.
