About the Nuvo NV-SUBTXRX
Wireless flexibility for subwoofers
Wireless flexibility for subwoofers
As an audio enthusiast, I've built many home audio systems over the years. Each time I build one, it never fails that I struggle to find the most discreet cable route from my receiver to my powered subwoofer (I often have it distanced from the rest of my system). One thing's for certain: if cables weren't part of the equation, things would be much simpler. Nuvo's answer to this problem is their NV-SUBTXRX. This kit includes both a receiver and a transmitter and can turn any regular powered subwoofer into a "wireless" one. (Remember, it'll still need AC power.)
The signal path starts at the transmitter, which gets plugged into your receiver's LFE or RCA subwoofer output. You'll connect the wireless receiver to your subwoofer's corresponding input. Once all that's done, and both the transmitter and receiver are hooked up to power, you'll hit the pairing button on each to get them to "talk" to each other. After the short pairing process is complete, you're ready to rock.
The transmitter and receiver can talk to each other from up to 50 feet away, which gives you maximum placement flexibility. If any signal interference is detected, both modules will change their operating frequencies to negate the effects. Probably the coolest part about this system is that one transmitter can work with up to four SUBRX receivers! That's right — it allows you to run the audio signal wirelessly to four subwoofers in your room.
