Remote Speakers for TV

[trudileach]

Please help if you can... I have a 6 month old Sanyo TV and want to put some speakers 8 meters away from it in another room but don't want wired ones... is there anything I can buy to do this remotely and could you point me in the right direction to buy them please... cheers

You could try buying those wireless headphone from Argos (�29.99 I think) and plug in an audio amp and hook up a speaker. But it would be rather expensive setup. However if you want a cheaper option get a baby monitor from a car boot sale.

Wireless active speakers from Maplin:

Beswad - your answer is a joke, right?

The thought of listening to TV via a baby monitor has got me crying with laughter.

No seriously, I'm just suggesting a cheap alternative method. Just turn your TV volume down ( to avoid feedback), place the transmitter unit near the TV speaker, switch on the receiver end and hey presto you got yourself a cheap and cheerful wireless speaker. Granted the sound quality isn't great, but if you want to improve on the sound quality you can always swap a better speaker onto the receiver end of the baby monitor (but make sure it's the correct impedeance).

Or hook up the two open speaker wires from the baby monitor revciever to a computer speaker (with an in-built amplifier). 

I'm assuming the Sanyo TV does not have an audio output souce i.e headphone socket, thats why I'm suggesting this method. If you think my suggestion is a joke, hey, your welcome to buy the �49.99 wireless active speaker from Maplin, bearing in mind the speaker works in the same principle as the baby monitor, they both use FM radio wave to transmit the audio signal.

 

Oh, some people also use the redundant baby monitor as a remote door bell monitor while they are outside gardening.

Blimey - good answer Beswad, my Dad is disabled and sleeps downstairs and my Mum has the monitor upstairs so during the night if my Dad needs anything he just gives her a shout!  Ideal - can be used as a bugging device also, but won't go into that!!!

beswad we should go into partnership if the person in question has the tols to do it and the ability hey u hit the nail on the head mind u he/she may just prefer the wireless headphones i'd love a set of those for work as i vave to be hands fre and above the din a speker a metre away is useless
