Product Packaging:Standard Packaging Product Description The RFU-6100 is a wireless Module can make any receiver and speaker combination into a wireless system. The module features a transmitter and receiver which operate using RF. The transmitter connects to the speaker level outputs of an amplifier and the receiver connects to your speakers. The receiver can be placed in the rear of the room, outside in the patio, or in another room. The troubles of running wire around the baseboards of the living room, in the walls ,through the attic are eliminated with the RFU-6100 wireless module. The operating range is up to 100 feet, and with built in noise reduction circuitry and 0-bit mute, the system is quiet when no signal is present. .com Eliminate the biggest hassle of home theater: wiring surround sound speakers. The Kenwood RFU-6100 is a wireless solution that features a transmitter and receiver that operate using RF (radio frequency), which eliminates the speaker AC plugs found on conventional wireless speaker systems. With the RFU-6100, you can use higher-quality surround speakers than are typically found in conventional surround speaker systems. The separate RF receiver unit has a built-in high-power digital amplifier for the surround speakers (up to 50 watts x 2 channels), which dramatically improves sound quality over conventional wireless systems, and it can be used up to 100 feet away from the transmitter. Active circuitry reduces noise interference, and 4 selectable RF transmission channels eliminate interference from other RF devices. What's in the Box Kenwood RFU-6100 wireless transmitter and receiver, 2 AC power adapters, 2 speaker wires.

Best Yet, but not as good as wires
I bought this unit through Amazon, who actually just forwarded the order to Crutchfield. Still, very fast service and shipping was free.I have experimented with other wireless solutions such as X10 and Advent. The big thing about this unit was the 50W X 2 amplifier built into the receiver. Other systems require you to provide amplification after the receiver to power the speakers.OK, a quick breakdown:Looks - Good enough. Not an issue for me. My transmitter and receiver are both hidden from sight. Silver might not fit your scheme.Ease of Use - Good. Need to connect preconnected speaker wire from the Xmitter to my amp, and power. Receiver needs power and user supplied speaker wire. Then, if needed, adjust the channel 1-4 on both units to avoid local RF interference.Functionality - Good enough. I use it for rear channel speakers that generally don't need much amplification. Also, I stopped being an audiophile years ago as my hearing degraded, so the audio quality is fine by me. In 5.1 DVD movie use it performs very well and provides the surround experience I want, without the wires I don't want.Gotchas - Antenna placement is very important. The box claims 100 ft range, but doesn't specify signal quality at that distance. My units are about 14 ft apart, and the antennae must be at the same height to provide the best sound. No putting the transmitter on top of your stereo rack, and the receiver under the couch. That orientation provided lots of pops and clicks as my wife walked between the two units. Also, I wish both pieces were squared off and had wall mount holes. This would provide additional mounting options.Overall - Works as advertised/expected. I'm happy with it. However, if you aren't as lazy as I am, run the wires through your walls for better sound.

Does What It Says - For A While
So, I'm updating my review - why? Well like the reviewer above after several weeks of operation, the units seem more sensitive to interference, and continually generate statis 'pops' even when supposed to be in standby mode.My housekeeper was quite startled once or twice and the unit is rapidly failing in the wife acceptance test so I'm also back to looking at more solutions. I wish I could down edit my stars on this,,,,So set these up last night and tried out watching the Stargate BluRay Stargate (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray ] and it does exactly what it says. Use it for my rear surround speakers and it works perfectly.'front' unit has short (4ft?) hard wired connections to connect to your amp, rear unit an approx. 6ft power cord. You provide the speaker cable.Units power down to standby when not used, channel 2 (of 4) proved the right one for me and eliminated any background hum and eliminated interference walking between the units etc.Based so far on a 2 hour trial, they seem excellent for surround sound speaker use. I haven't and wouldn't try them for primary music or sound sources though.

Great Product
Set it up once and forget about it! It comes on by itself when it senses a signal and sleeps at other times. Barely audible tic when it first comes on, otherwise can't tell the difference from hardwire. Would recommend for someone to upgrade to rear speakers if you can't hardwire.

Occasional popping sound but considering the price I paid and the technology that was available back then I have gotten way more than my monies worth.

Decent for a while, but didn't last
I've owned the Kenwood wireless speaker module for a while now and it worked ok for a while, but its quality has faded over time. I don't know if this is indicative of other units or not.I've always been able to hear a little noise from the rear speakers if I have my ear close, but when the speakers were placed further away I didn't notice the noise.Occasionally I would hear a loud pop of static, but it didn't happen often. Recently though the frequency of these pops has become too much and I'm back shopping for a better solution. In the meantime I've had to stop using the rear speakers.

Surprise, surprise -- this really works and it's good !!
I was very skeptical about this product and read a lot of the pros and cons before buying it and hoped that it would work, as I did not want the hassle of running wires in my basement from the front to the back of the room.I have a NAK AV-8 with Klipsch surrounds and although this is not truly wireless [ you have to hook up the rear surrounds with the receiver ], the end result was surprisingly good and beyond my expectations.I watched Gladiator [ battle scene ], Armageddon [ meteor scene ] and the Matrix ... the surround effects were really good and I could hardly believe my ears .. there was little or no distortion and I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Works well but not a perfect solution
Oh joy, oh rapture. Yet another RF toy to add to my growing collection of wireless paraphernalia. I ordered this unit to eliminate the circuitous wires leading from my 5.1 A/V Receiver (Yamaha) to a pair of secondary speakers. The unit comes with a small wireless transmitter and a matching wireless receiver that includes a small, digital amplifier whose volume and tonality vary with the parent receiver. For those with 6.1 and 7.1, two units should suffice, although I assume that would mean hooking up two transmitters as well. There is an issue with RF noise resulting from placing the unit too close to stereo equipment, which Kenwood mentions briefly in their literature. However, I was able to reduce the noise substantially by hooking up the transmitter's power source to the back of my receiver (as opposed to plugging it into my HT surge suppressor). Can't figure out why. After playing around with the signal selectors on both units and adding an additional surge suppressor to the RFU receiver, I am fairly happy with the results. This is sort of new but promising technology. I would have liked a little more noise suppression on both units and the ability to support 6.1 and 7.1 configurations without the purchase of additional transmitters, but not a bad product.
