Wireless seems to be the big thing these days. Everyone wants to control all of their different electronics wirelessly if possible and home theater is no different. The only problem is if wireless home theater is really possible. Sure you can control your home theater wirelessly but can you really have wireless speakers? So what exactly is fact and what is fiction.
Wireless Electronics That Are Currently Possible?
In the ways of things that are possible and that we are already doing very well is making it possible to control all our home audio from a single device and the single device that is becoming more and more common are our smart phones. Many of the home theater receivers now come with apps that allow you to control them right from the same phone that is in your pocket. You can also find wireless speakers. The only with wireless speakers is they either have a very short battery life or have t be plugged into a power outlet to work which almost defeats the purpose.
Things That Are Not Possible?
Speakers need power in order to run and normally a speaker can draw the power it needs from the speaker wire. With a wireless speaker the speaker needs power in order to run its wireless sensor as well as to function so 95% of wireless speakers need to be plugged into a wall. The other 5% run on batteries but the problem with that is that they will only last a couple of hours and then need recharging. There are even wireless subwoofers and subwoofer kits that you can but to make your subwoofer wireless but the problem with that is that your subwoofer will still have to have power at all times. A subwoofer needs too much energy to function and because of that will never truly will be able to be wireless.
What Can We Expect In The Future?
As we head into the future you can plan on seeing many improvements in wireless technology. In the short future you should see more and more audio receivers that are controlled by your smart phones as well as I think you will start to see speakers that have battery life that will allow them to truly be wireless. Completely wireless subwoofers unfortunately will most likely not be a thing of the near future because of their need for high power consumption.
Even though there are options for wireless home audio right now none of them are a great solution but in the next 2-3 years expect to see true wireless home audio become a reality.
