Soundcast SurroundCast
$199.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:A relatively cheap solution for those seeking wireless speakers. Setup is very basic - hook up the speaker wires and plug everything in. Uses very little power - automatic standby mode when inactive for a set period of time.
The Cons:Still may interfere with nearby wireless devices (most notably wireless Xbox 360s). Still a fair amount of wiring necessary for the setup to work.
The Soundcast SurroundCast is one of Soundcast's unique transmitters for use with home theatre audio. It is intended for use with rear speakers, and eliminates the need to run audio cables from the speakers to a receiver.

It comes with a transmitter and a receiver that operate on the 2.4GHz wireless band, and automatically selects the band to use. This avoids interference and assures the highest possible sound quality the system can provide. This set is compatible with any brand of satellite speakers. The SurroundCast transmitter and receiver should be used in the same room, together. Each device is the same size, a compact 4 x 6 inches. Each unit also has speaker output controls, and the receiver has a 60 watt digital amplifier.
