5.1 Wireless audio possible?

[Brandon1984]

I realize this is way out there... but thought it was worth a shot.

I have a computer upstairs and a home theater downstairs. I am using Grandtec's Wireless Audio/Video transmitters (work very well actually, some occasional static, but can be fixed). My question is, would it be possible to trasmit 5.1 audio with it?

I figured that it would be possible, though I don't want to try, if I had more than one transmitter, to send to my receiver's 5.1 inputs from the sound cards 4-speaker setup (so I guess it wouldn't really be 5.1 now would it). But would it be possible to use a coax connection? Don't laugh too hard at this, just dreaming of possibilities. Thanks for any input.

Well in the digital world(present day :p ), you can even send a 200 channels for a single link(in cellular systems or similar) there is no problem on sending 5 or 100 signal over the space, but the problem is the propagation medium(air) + way(RF signal for your case).

If the frequency of your Audio/Video transmitters is low(<900MHz (?)) I think that you can't send all the digital information for this medium(bandwith problem) but, for sure, if the link is over certain frequency you are able to send this information(bitrate in other word) at the enought speed to archieve good transmision/receptions times.

So for end, try to atach the transmitter over your digital out(1), and put the output from your receptor over the input of the decoder and cross your fingers ;)
If your tras./recep. can handle the digital out from your card you can send the data. Well now I think will be good if you check the maximun output voltage for your digital output and the maximun voltage for the input transmitter (I can't assure that they are compatible :devil: ).

Bye and excuse the English. :scared:

use a modem.

a modem? Not sure what you mean.

Here is the link to the transmitters

I couldn't get it to work using mini->RCA Split->RCA Re-Combine->Transmitter(L Channel) -- Odd connections due to limited supplies

Then from receiver Left channel straight to digital input with a coax cable.
