great value for home theater
I purchased the soundcaster with some reservations but was pleasantly surprised after I hooked it up. The soundcaster will allow you to have wireless speakers to a point. You get a wireless connection between the included transmitter and receiver/50 watt amp. The speakers are then hooked to the soundcaster receiver with wire which can be another issue for your rear surround speakers especially if you want to wall mount them. The other concern is possible wifi interference on your home network. The claim by the manufacturer is that the soundcaster scans for an unused 2.4 Ghz channel automatically. While this may be the case, I did have have to spend quite a bit of time positioning the soundcaster transmitter and my network bridge to attain optimal network connectivity.
Overall, I am pleased with this product because it does work as advertised and it is about 1/4 the cost of the KEF system which has 2 receiver/amps. You have to make the decision if you want to hide speaker...

No more wires all around the room
This is a great wireless transmitter if you do not want to run wires across the room, for whatever reasons.
Pros:
1. Very simple to setup. It comes with two wires for left and right connections from HT Receiver to the Soundcast transmitter. Just hook up the wires and power, and you're good to go.
2. The transmitter uses negligible power. The receiver uses more, as it has to output to speakers, but it goes on standby on inactivity. So that saves power.
3. Volume level is pre-set and works perfectly out-of-box. It has volume adjustments that it remembers, so if you do need to tweak volume levels, it should be one time thing.
Cons:
None
It's definitely better than performing in-wall wiring or running the wires across the room.
Excellent solution if you don't use Audyssey
I was a little skeptical given the unknown branding of this product. Here's my setup: Onkyo TX-NR708 receiver w/ Polk Audio Blackstone TL3's speakers. The wireless surround setup is fairly easy. It took me a while to get the sound level on the unit to my liking, but afterwards I was more than satisfied with the end result. This unit has produced reliable and convincing "wired" surround in a wireless application. WARNING: if you rely on your receiver's Audyssey function for sound callibration, this wireless function with NOT be compatible with Audyssey. In a nutshell, Audyssey is unable to judge the distance on a wireless speaker and thus your receiver via Audyssey cannot automatically adjust sound levels on wireless speakers. If don't rely on Audyssey and can live with this pitfall, then I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a quick wireless speaker solution.
