getting audio to garage wirelessly (or similar)

[gordonmenninger]

My main home theater is in the basement and I do have a seperate receiver with speakers in the garage. i want to be able to send my audio signal up to the garage somehow without having to run a 200 foot cable... any ideas on this? Not all that worried about sound quality, but it should sound decent

thanks!

The Sonos music server or Slim Devices SB3 come first to mind. The Sonos is more expensive but I like the versions with the built in amplifiers. Just add speakers. That is what I have in my kitchen, office, and garage/back deck.

Try a wireless audio send/receive unit. http://www.audioengineusa.com/w1_home.php might work. Not sure on the range, but you never know until you try. I think Onkyo might make a similar one as well as others I am sure. Airport express also comes to mind if you have a wi-fi network.

Do you want to stream just one source (say audio from a PC running iTunes or a squeezeBox) or everything and anything that you're playing in the home theater?

A squeezebox would work fine.

I do not want to stream from my pc! I just want the option to hear in my garage system whatever is playing in the HT . We go out in the garage to smoke and I would hate to miss a great song that is coming up next! :ROFL:

AV Transmitter

Check the site listed below. These AV senders will send both video and HIFI audio through walls up to 300 feet. I use these myself and they work very well. You can use any kind of stereo system that you want in the garage and just treat the AV sender/receiver as a source on your garage stereo system. You could even use ML speakers in the garage maybe a used set of Summits.:rocker: http://www.avdeals.com/transmitters/avs5811.htm

The Sonos can do both, stream from a NAS or relay from analog input jacks.

yes, this is something I am looking for... The Sonos is too expensive for my garage!
