Richard Case asks: (2008-09-08 12:47:08)
Have just this morning received these speakers to my home in France. I am using battery power only for the speakers but am having very bad reception (lots of hiss), to the point where the system is unusable. The sound is like a very poor radio. The speakers are only a few meters from the transmitter and I am playing radio/music from my PC. Have tried the 3 channels and lots of scanning without success. Whats going on?
|
|
Nigel says:
You will need to adjust the volume settings on the source to a higher output and then reduce the volume on each speaker. This should remedy your hissing sound.

Rick asks: (2008-08-07 23:05:57)
Hello there, just a quick question!
how many speakers can i attach to a transmitter... and if wantd to buy 4 speakers and two transmitters, how much would it cost me please!
Cheers'
|
|
Chris says:
Yoyu can use as many speakers as you want as long as they are within range of the transmitter.
Please contact us by e-mail or phone, or check our website, for the latest prices.

Mark Grimbleby asks: (2008-06-29 14:27:10)
Just to confirm, could I connect my TV and Laptop to the same set of speakers at the same time, or would I have to manually switch between the two when I want to use them?
|
|
Chris says:
The speakers can only be tuned in to one transmitter at a time, but you could use a second transmitter to avoid the need to unplug it each time.

kevin brown asks: (2007-09-27 11:26:38)
i have a bose lifestyle system & generally input to it from itunes on my apple laptop. i was considering your cordless speakers as a means of listening to the same music throughout the house. I have the bose system in the lounge, was thinking of a set of wireless speakers in the bedroom, anoth set in the hall & maybe one more set. would that work well? if i was playing on the wired speakers in the lounge would the delay to the wireless ones make it sound funny?
|
|
Nigel says:
You can use as many speakers as you want on one transmitter. As for the delay within the 30-40 metre recommended range you will not notice the difference as it is minimal.
|
|
John asks: (2007-07-21 22:28:37)
Will these speakers work from the headphone o/p on a laptop?
|
|
Fiona says:
Yes these speaker will work with a standard 3.5mm headphone output on a laptop.

adam matthew luetchford asks: (2007-07-19 15:33:55)
Can i use these as my rear speakers from my amplifier. To produce 5.1 sound will it still be digital.Can u mount these speakers on the wall
thanx
|
|
Chris says:
You can connect the transmitter to a line output if your amp has one. Alternatively, you can connect directly to your speaker outputs using a Goodmans Transmitter Mate.
The transmission is not digital, however the actual output of your amp is not either, it is only the processors (and someitmes inputs) which make an amp 'digital'.

Patricia asks: (2007-07-05 07:38:49)
Is it possible to use this speaker set with an elderly [1981!] stereo system , Panasonic SB2700? There is a headphones jack on the front of the amplifier would the transmitter connector fit? Sorry I am technically dim ,thankyou
|
|
Martin says:
If it has a headphone jack on it then these will connect to it without any problems.

Andrew Cole asks: (2007-07-03 13:04:00)
I am toying with the idea of purchasing some wireless speakers to go in the living room hooking up to my sky box. so, my question to you is how many speakers can you have working off 1 transmitter please?
|
|
Martin says:
There is no limit to the amount of speakers you can use with the transmitter
|
|
P Ward asks: (2007-06-15 15:08:23)
My computer is upstairs but I want to listen to music downstairs or outside. Is this possible with these speakers? My pc is not wireless (it's quite old !! ) but I have just had a wireless (orange) box/router connected . As you may have guessed I am not at all technically minded.
All help gratefully received, thank you
|
|
Chris says:
It is possible with these speakers.
You do not need to have any other wireless equipment to use these speakers, they are supplied with their own transmitter.

Ray Ring asks: (2007-05-04 10:52:33)
Hi
I received yesterday a set of Aq wireless speakers here in France.
There is a problem, when they are connected to the mains adapters and turned on there is a very loud hum coming through them. The hum is constant, i.e. not dependant on how much the volume control is turned up. There is no hum using them with just the batteries.
There has been no mention of hum in any of the many reviews of these speakers and I would like to know if this hum is normal.
Regards
Ray Ring
|
|
Martin says:
The hum is mains noise. In some areas this is more prominent than others. It is not a fault with the speakers. The usual solution is to use a different type of power adaptor.

Charles Henshaw asks: (2007-04-26 05:22:45)
Hi
Can you please tell me the difference between the standard version and the delue version of tehe AQ Wireless speakers. I see that there is about £30 difference. Is it only the external finish?
Thanks
|
|
Chris says:
Other than the quality and style of the finish and the much wider range of colour combinations, there is no difference.

Keith Pearson asks: (2007-04-03 17:00:07)

PETER BROWNLOW asks: (2007-02-21 09:07:27)
We have a Samsung LCD TV + Home Cinema dvd/cd 5-1 sytem complete but cannot put the wired rear speakers behind the seating area.
If I connect the AQ speakers to this system....
1. Will it stop sound out of ALL the 5 Samsung
SPEAKERS? except the two AQ speakers to
be used as rear speakers.
2. Do I need the Transmitter Mate to allow ALL
the Samsung speakers to remain on when
using the AQ Speakers at the rear position or do I just remove the two rear Samsung wired speakers form the system?? HELP! Thank you, Peter.
|
|
Chris says:
answers to all your questions could be yes or no, depending on how you connect to your system.
If you connect to a headphone socket, you will probably mute all the speakers, and get the front sound through the witreless speakers.
If you have seperate line outputs from either your decoder or amplifier (or seperate channel preamp outputs, if you have an all-in-one decoder and amp) you can connect to these without muting the other speakers, and would not need a Transmitter Mate.
If you have no available outputs other than your speaker ones, you can connect to these without muting the other speakers, however you would need a Transmitter Mate.

Howard asks: (2007-02-13 17:43:07)
I don't want to replace my existing speakers or run additional speakers. I would like to use my existing mission speakers but not have the wires. Do you or are you aware of a product that will enable me to drive my existing speakers from my amp, wirelessly?
|
|
Chris says:
This would require an amp at the speaker end of the wireless connection, you could either move the one you have, get another one, or use speakers with built-in amplifiers.
Using an audio or audio-video transmitter to transmit the line level output from your Hi-Fi or other device, you could connect the reciever to the amp and have the sound as you would normally. Your speakers still need to be wired to an amplifier, unless they have one built-in.

C. CARTER asks: (2007-02-12 16:50:50)
I just bought a pair and await delivery. However I want to connect to my Cambridge Audio Azur 640A Amp and not loose the sound from the main speakers irrelevant of what source (CD, DVD, TV etc). The amo has rec out and pre put, can I use those without having to buy the transmitter mate?
|
|
Chris says:
You should be able to connect them to either pre-out or rec out, assuming they are at a line level, without the need for a Transmitter Mate.
|

paul tranter asks: (2007-02-09 14:00:51)
re aq wireless speakers.
my zone "2" speakers (bose system) are connected via a mini din connector. is this compatible with the transmitter, if so what lead would i need?
also, would there be a propagation delay between the two zones?
|
|
Chris says:
You will need to connect the transmitter to a line output or headphone socket.
The Bose speaker systems are not readily compatible with any speakerset like this, due to the fact that they have unique techniques for processing the sound.
|
|
Peter Cook asks: (2007-02-08 13:58:19)
If I buy these speakers and dont like them can they be returned?
|
|
Chris says:
If you are not entirely satisfied, you can return them within 14 days for a refund, provided you have the original packaging.

Andrew Hall asks: (2007-01-27 12:14:51)
These speakers are excellent, fully recommended. I have now changed my source system and when I use the headphone socket, the sound cuts out. The source system has no phono sockets. Any suggestions as to how the source can continue to be heard?

Nigel says:
You can buy a transmitter mate(goodmans) £24.95 in the wireless accessories dept.

john mccaffery asks: (2007-01-26 16:14:11)
tried to connect my wireless speakers to my bush lcd tv without success, can you help?
|
|
Nigel says:
You need to connect via the headphone socket or the phono outputs(red/white) on the rear of the tv using the lead provided in the box. If you use the headphone socket you will lose your sound from the actual TV speakers. If you need further advice contact us on Monday 0n 0161 611 7174

Dilip asks: (2006-12-11 15:24:07)
I've just bought a new Sony LCD tv, but it's late to install some rear spekaers as the carpet has been laid down and i don't want pull it up to run the cables. Will these speakers give surround sound effect when watching movies?
Many Thanks
Dilip
|
|
Chris says:
These speakers would have to be connected to the surround outputs of your TV/Hi-Fi/Surround Decoder to give true surround sound. They can be connected to a line or Pre-amp output for the relevant surround channels.
|
|
Jo Cooper asks: (2006-12-08 00:04:09)
Another possibly dumb Q... When plugging these in, will it stop the sound coming from the original source (DAB Radio)
|
|
Nigel says:
If you plug into the headphone socket then yes. If your radio has phono output you can use them without losing the sound.

Pam Penfold asks: (2006-12-04 21:00:24)
We have a Sony digital tv model no: KD-28DL11U that we have been trying to connect wireless speakers to with no luck. The 3.5mm jack supplied with the transmitter on the set that we had seemed to large for the connection on the tv, is there any solution or are we doomed never to enjoy surround sound?
|
|
Chris says:
Having checked the specification, I am unable to find anything that would stop these speakers being connected, either to the headphone socket, which would cut off the sound from the TV, or, if there is a line output, via the included adaptor.
I would reccomend contacting the manufacturer of the TV for information about the line output/headphone socket.
If the socket on the TV is too small for the 3.5mm headphone jack, it is not a headphone socket.
|

Sara asks: (2006-12-01 15:52:20)
I'm hoping to replace the rear speakers from my TV with wireless speakers so that I don't have to run wires under the carpet. Will these do the job? Thanks
|
|
Dave G says:
Yes. There are no connected wires when these speakers are setup.
|
|
Ryan asks: (2006-11-25 18:44:18)
Are these speakers freestanding or do they need to be wall-mounted?
|
|
Nigel says:
They can be free standing or wall mounted.
|
|
Mark Douglas asks: (2006-11-25 17:53:14)
I would like to replace my 2 wired rear speakers for my surround sound system, but am concerned that the wires speakers won't 'balance' with the rest of the system. My current speakers say "Impedance 8 Ohms, Max Power Input 100W". Will these wiresless speakers be powerful enough as a replacement?
Also, does the volumn of these speakers adjust when I change the volumn on my amp (I will be using the Goodman Transmitter Mate)?
And finally, can I mount these on speaker stands or are they stand alone only?
|
|
Chris says:
Answering your questions in reverse order:-
Yes, They have keyhole mounts on the rear, and can be mounted to most styles of speaker stand which allow rear-mounting.
The volume of the speakers will be dependant on the volume of the output from your system.
for use as rear 'surround' speakers, they should be adequate to provide sound with 100 watt front speakers, depending on the original sound source - in most cases, the rear speakers run a lot quieter than the front, as they are only used for in-fill and effects.

Anne Horne asks: (2006-11-19 14:30:11)
I an looking for new speakers,but my experience with cordless ones in the past is that the batteries do not last very long and are expensive to replace.The ones I had ate the batteries in three weeks and cost about a tenner to replace.Are these ones the same?
Regards.
|
|
Chris says:
Note that the unit itself is not capable of recharging the batteries, but it will run happily using rechargeable batteries.
|
|
Nigel says:
From personal experience batteries last about 2 months when used on average 12-15 hours per week. There are power adaptors included and you can always use rechargeable batteries.
|
|
Stephen Beazley asks: (2006-11-07 23:33:49)
Sorry to sound dumb but can the wireless speakers be used with say a PURE 1500 handheld DAB Handheld? If not what can you recommend.
Thanks
|
|
Nigel says:
Yes they can via the Headphone socket.
|
|
Lu King asks: (2006-11-02 16:11:57)
Do these speakers come with a remote control so you can adjust volume/tuning etc from a distance?
|
|
Dave G says:
The wireless speakers do not have a remote control.
The volume control is on the side of each speaker.
|
|
Camilla asks: (2006-10-26 15:35:31)
Would these speakers be compatible to use with i tunes from a i mac?
|
|
Chris says:
There should be no problem connecting to your iMac, simply plug the transmitter into the sound output (headphone) socket.
|
|
Dave G says:
The speakers can be connected to any audio source via the transmitter, as long as the audio source (e:g: i mac) has a line output socket.
|
|
Gordon Low asks: (2006-10-16 15:50:07)
Will these speakers work with samsung home cinema system. Will I need any other items to connect for this to work?
Thanks,
|
|
Dave G says:
As long as the home cinema system has a line output socket in the back of it, the transmitter (supplied with the wireless speakers), can be plugged in to the back of it.
You do not need any other items to connect other than the transmitter and the wireless speakers.

Caroline Albert asks: (2006-10-12 14:34:35)
I am interested in your AQ wireless speakers and would like to plug them in to my amp as rear speakers, it mentions I would need a speaker-to-line-level adaptor to plug them in to the speaker points. I can't find one on your website, how much are they and where can I find one?
|
|
Dave G says:
We offer a Goodmans Transmitter Mate for £24.95 each.
This will allow you to plug the speakers in to your amp as rear speakers.
|
|
Rich Hunter asks: (2006-09-20 21:45:41)
I would like to use the speakers as replacements for my wired rear surround sound ones. Can these be used with standard amplifier speaker outputs, i.e. where normal speaker cable would be connected?
|
|
Chris says:
To connect these to a powered amplifier output, you would need an adaptor, such as the Goodmans Transmitter Mate.
|
|
Gerry Simpson asks: (2006-09-05 19:31:07)
Our "old" hi-fi is in a bad way and we'd like to upgrade. In addition to being able to play from the PC and iPod, we still would like to play some old vinyl.
Can we play from just a turntable?
Or if we keep turntable plus old amp, can we still output to these speakers?
|
|
Nigel says:
As long as your turntable has a headphone socket you can use the speakers. If not if there are phono output sockets on your amp this will also work.
|
|
Jane asks: (2006-09-04 11:28:06)

Peter Lowden asks: (2006-09-01 11:13:00)
Is there a way to mix down the stereo input to mono, and broadcast to each speaker in a different room?
|
|
Nigel says:
Yes you can. There is a switch on the rear of the transmitter to change from stereo to mono.
|
|
M R Shaw asks: (2006-08-30 09:53:24)
Is there an alternative to using batteries with the wireless speakers?
|
|
Nigel says:
You can use the power adaptors supplied which plug directly into the mains.
|
|
Bob Bradley asks: (2006-08-28 15:36:54)
Could you please give me the size of the speakers? (hopefully in good old inches)

Mark Day asks: (2006-08-11 11:22:08)
I would like to use these speakers to transmit music from my PC to the garden. I already have a wireless network for data.
Will this cause any problems ?.
|
|
Chris says:
These speakers do not operate on the 2.4GHz data network frequency, so they will not interfere with each other.
|
|
Roberta Brown-Paul asks: (2006-08-07 16:05:45)
Hi - we already have a set of your wonderful wood speakers, and want another set for our pool room. As we live in France, I was wondering if you possibly supply the kit with continental ie. 2 pin mains plugs so we don't have to keep using adaptors? Many thanks.
|
|
Chris says:
Hi, Unfortunately, we do not supply the kit with any other power supplies, the power supply is a standard 12 volt system, and you should be able to pick up a suitable equivalent power supply very cheaply at your local electrical retailer.
The transmitter uses 12.5 volts, however, it will run quite happily using a 12 volt power supply.
