Need to listen to a stereo inside house, with speakers in shed 50ft away. How without expensive copper wiring?

Question

Trying to keep this project around $50. Any wireless options? There are several components connected to the strereo system with music that would be listened to in the shed. I also need to keep the speakers inside running normally. There is still room for "B" speakers on the amp.

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly... the stereo is in the house... but you want to listen to it using speakers out in a shed, without moving the stereo....  (The question, as written, could also mean you want to hear the speakers placed out in the shed, all the way into the house, lol)

Realistically... for less than $50 you could purchase a used stereo at a yard sale, and stick it out in the shed.... hehehehe....

Wireless stereo speakers can be expensive... check these out - http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.j...

Some of those are 'weather proof' too... handy if you wanted to place them around a patio, for example.

Here are several on Ebay auctions right now... most are well over $100, though you might find a bargain - http://search.ebay.com/wireless-stereo-s...

I think good copper wiring would probably be cheaper... you can bury it in conduit to make it less obvious.... and, may even provide better quality.

As I already mentioned.... purchasing a second hand stereo might be the fastest and cheapest alternative.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I use Sentry wireless headphones. They broadcast the signal up to 100 ft., through walls, etc. Sentry HO900. They are not expensive. Check ebay. $30. or less. They use a wireless transmitter that plugs into wall a/c socket and plug into audio out on stereo, T.V., computer sound card.

If I am listening to something, I walk all over my house and hear it.  There is an on/off switch on headset and volume control. You can buy more than 1 set (mine were $14.99 each) and hook 1 transmitter to your stereo, the other to to your T.V.

and but you can only have 1 transmitter on at a time. With 2 sets you and a friend can both listen to the same transmitter with 2 separate headsets on. Enjoy!
