About the Soundcast Surroundcast Kit
Enjoy a wireless connection to your home theater's rear speakers. This system transmits rear-channel signals to your surround speakers, so you don't have to run speaker wire to the back of your room. It also delivers 25 watts of power to each speaker, thanks to a built-in amplifier. The transmitter connects to speaker terminals on your home theater receiver.

Features
Overview: The SoundCast SurroundCast wireless surround sound system is a combination of a wireless transmitter and wireless amplified receiver with internal antennas to broadcast the audio surround signal of your home theater receiver to your rear-surround speakers in the back of the room via wireless link (2.4 GHz frequency band).
Note: To complete the SoundCast SurroundCast system, you will need a home theater receiver and a pair of rear-surround speakers.
In-Room Wireless Transmission: The SurroundCast wireless surround sound system is designed for in-room transmission range only (up to 50'), between your home theater receiver and pair of rear-surround speakers (via a 2.4 GHz frequency band).
Note: This product uses a radio technology that is not compatible with other SoundCast products. It is designed for the express purpose of in-room surround sound applications.
Wireless Transmitter:The SoundCast SurroundCast wireless transmitter connects to your home theater receiver's rear-surround speaker outputs (via standard speaker wire) and then wirelessly transmits your home theater system's rear-channel audio to the included SurroundCast receiver, via a 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Wireless Amplified Receiver: The SoundCast SurroundCast wireless amplified receiver connects to your rear-surround speakers via standard speaker wire. The wireless amplified receiver receives the rear-channel audio from your home theater receiver via the connected SurrroundCast transmitter over a 2.4 GHz frequency band. It then sends the signal to your connected rear-surround speakers, while amplifying your surround speakers at the same time. The wireless amplified receiver features a 25-watt x 2-channel amplifier (50-watts total).
Note: Only connect the wireless amplified receiver to a pair of passive speakers (not amplified).
Volume Controls: The volume controls found on the transmitter and receiver are to be used for system calibration only, so your system's rear-surround volume output matches the level of the other speakers in your system. You will still use your home theater receiver's volume control to adjust your system's overall volume.
Speaker Terminals: The SurroundCast receiver and transmitter are both equipped with 2-pair of spring-clip speaker terminals. The wireless transmitter plugs into your home theater receiver's rear-surround speaker outputs, while the wireless amplified receiver plugs into your rear-surround speakers (using standard speaker wire).
Note: Be certain that you are connecting the included transmitter to your home theater receiver. Connecting the included receiver to your home theater receiver could result in damage to the SurroundCast receiver and/or your home theater equipment.
Mounting: The SurroundCast receiver and transmitter can be table-top mounted using the included pedestal bases, or wall-mounted using the integrated key-hole slots on back of both units. For best results, both the transmitter and receiver should be installed in a vertical orientation.
Note: A distance of 3-feet or more between SurroundCast and your other wireless devices is preferable for optimum performance.
Power Supply: The SurroundCast transmitter and amplified receiver both operate off of standard household AC current using the supplied AC power adapter.
Auto Power: The SurroundCast features an Auto Power function that turns both the transmitter and receiver off when there is not audio signal being fed to the system after approximately 20 minutes. This feature provides energy savings when your home theater system is not being used. Once the system detects the presence of an audio signal, it automatically turns the SurroundCast transmitter and receiver back on.
Note: Allow a few seconds for the audio to play through the speakers as the system is waking up.
