Acoustic Research AW-811 Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker (single)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
For excellent omnidirectional outdoor stereo sound without messy wires, the Acoustic Research AW-811 single speaker provides patented 900 MHz wireless technology, which lets your signal transmit through walls, floors and ceilings at distances of up to 300 ft. (depending on source) inside your house or outside with no line of sight required between the speaker and transmitter. Plus, you can put the speaker wherever you like; its water-resistant design lets the AW-811 thrive outdoors and indoors, and in humid areas such as kitchens and baths. Plus the speaker will tune to the transmitter automatically, at the touch of a button. Since this comes as a single speaker, you can adjust sound with the stereo/mono switch to optimize the sound of the digital amplifier (second speakers, required for stereo sound, are sold separately).

Controls include one easy to use knob for the 3-in-1 power, tuning, and volume control, and a channel select switch that lets you change transmission frequencies to operate more than one 900 MHz product within the same area. To help eliminate extra noise, the speaker comes with a RF noise reduction system. This speaker is also designed to be moved; there's a built-in folding handle, a non-skid surface (so you can use it as a tabletop), and it runs on either 8 C batteries (not included) or an AC adaptor. The batteries self-charge when the unit is plugged in. You can even take the speaker inside and use it with any RCA-compatible device, such as your TV, DVD player, A/V receiver, VCR, portable CD player, computer, and more.

Product Description:
The AW811 omni-directional water-resistant design withstands wet conditions encountered outdoors or in kitchens and baths. Its two-way acoustic suspension design features 1" dome tweeter for extended upper frequency response and waterproof 5" woofer for deep bass output. The 20 watt digital amplifier delivers impressive sound - even outdoors! The amplifier circuitry extends battery life over 100 hours. 8 "C" cell batteries (sold separately) provide true wireless portability; can also plug into any standard electrical outlet with AC adaptor (included). The unit has easy access controls which feature auto-tuning, Left/Mono/Right switch offering versatility and convenience, and a 3-in-1 Power/Volume/Scan control. Has an integrated non-skid top, which is the perfect place to hold your keys or your drink while relaxing in the pool.

Utilitarian - Does What It Promises.......2007-06-18

Overall, a good sound alternative for the outdoors. It has the range away from my receiver that it promised; the quality of the (mono) is pretty good, with a good bass undertone. If I had to nitpick, I would say that it picks up some interference on occasion - and yes, I did try all three different frequencies. But overall, it's great on the outdoor deck or in the backyard. It delivers as promised.

Wonderful Product!.......2007-06-15

We love this wireless speaker. We have been looking for the perfect speaker to use outside by our pool without having to wire outdoor speakers to our house. This speaker has great reception from the receiver, especially for being outdoors, and it also has high quality sound. Would definitely recommend!

AR AW-811 Outdoor Wireless Speaker Review.......2007-06-13

I needed an outdoor speaker so I could play our CD collection on our Sony Megachanger outside. The AW-811 does everything it's advertised to do. I hooked the transmitting antenna to the headset output of our stereo receiver and the speaker plays just fine outside about 30 feet away. It has good tone and a fair base, and was about $30.00 cheaper than Circuit City. Works for me.

This product is a great addition to anyone's home that does not have wiring or a home entertainment system capable of supporting multiple sets of speakers. These speakers can be used individually or in pairs for left/right separation. While they are not the high quality sound of your stereo speakers, they are great on the patio or in the bathroom. We have two and put one on each porch when we have company. Other times, we put one in the office and one in the master bath. When we enjoy either of our porches by ourselves, we put both of them for stereo sound. They are certainly worth the money.

An easy way to add music to the outdoors........2007-06-12

Since I rent, I'm unable to attach outdoor speakers to the building for outdoor activities/work. I really didn't want to run hundreds of feet of wire to have music around working areas. I read several reviews about these wireless speakers, some good and some bad. Like most people I had to find out for myself.

I would recommend if you do decide to purchase one, read all of the instructions no matter if you think you know what you are doing. Some reviews say that the installed batteries will explode if you attach the unit to AC. It clearly states in the instuctions it will charge the batteries (rechargeable only batteries not alkaline batteries, duh!).

Also, attachment to an audio source; they have a nice section telling all the things to have quality sound with different connects from variable to fixed output. Don't get me wrong this speaker will not be heard from blocks away, but does produce more than what you would think from a mono channel. I have used this product non-stop for several weeks with no issues yet, and as I recall it was a refurbished item (because it was cheaper). I also plan on purchasing the AW-812 for stereo sound.

Overall, it is a great product and a good purchase for sound in a "sound dead" place. No regrets.
