Dayton AudioWave-Link WLS System 2.4 GHz Full Range Wireless Audio Transmitter & Receiver System

Great experience with the previous version, the WS-12 Sub-Link XR and an SVS sub. Almost 4 years of always-on service, no issues. Subjectively, no difference between wired and wireless performance. I moved the XR to another system and replaced it with this, the Dayton Audio Wave-Link WLS.The WLS comes paired from the factory so installation is simple. Plug in the power supplies, connect the cables and done. After re-running my receivers Audyssey set up routine and tweaking the sub's settings, great result. I have the transmitter and receiver about 16 feet apart and not line of site. The receiver is behind a chair and the transmitter behind a television. No drop-outs or interference/noise issues in spite of a combined 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz wifi network being present. No hum, buzz, static.My sub reliably powers up when a signal is detected and goes into standby mode when a signal is not present just as it did when I had it hard wired. No issues with 'mystery' power ups and downs. No noticeable latency issues.Others have pointed out some issues. Wireless issues can have a number potential causes. I'd start trouble shooting by using a good power conditioner/noise filter from a supplier like Tripp Lite or Furman. You won't have to spend a lot and even if it doesn't solve the problem, you'll have the peace of mind knowing your equipment is protected from over/under voltage and extreme surges.Further with noise/interference troubleshooting, I'd suggest replacing the included interconnects with BJC's MSA-1, a 3.5mm to RCA or Tripp Lite's version, UPC code 037332012142. Both companies have long histories of building reliable, well shielded, well engineered and cost effective products. I'd start with Tripp Lite given the cost difference. The BJC's cost more but can be special ordered in custom lengths, specific brands of connectors, etc. Neither are the insanely expensive 'audio jewelry' peddled by unscrupulous or predatory companies that will gladly relieve you of your hard earned cash. How about an Audioquest Angel, 3.5mm to RCA cable currently priced in Amazon at $2,199.95?As with the XR, once the WLS is dialed in, no noticeable difference between wired and wireless performance . The only significant difference I know of between this and the XR is that this has a DAC and is switchable between digital and analog mode. The WLS's DAC enables use with a pc/mac connected by USB. The specs state that the frequency response of the DAC is 20Hz-22000kHz and a sample rate of 48KHz. For a sub, this is far more than you'll need. Very few subs are capable of operating below 20Hz and even if there were, there aren't many audio sources that go below 20Hz. Regardless, if you have a sub that will go below 20Hz, something to consider.Although I haven't tried, the specs should be more than enough for a satisfactory result with full range speakers as well. I don't know if this will allow for a bit perfect transfer from computer to DAC/pre-amp/receiver but if it does, very cool.SVS used to sell the XR directly from their website and when that was discontinued, started selling the WLS. This implies that they've tested both and are confident about it's performance. They now sell a wireless SVS branded adapter with different form factor than XR and WLS. The SVS branded adapter has better published specs but hard to say if this would result in a noticeable performance difference.Bottom line, great product and highly recommended.

After hooking them up and synching them to one another I have no sound output.

Who wants a bunch of extra wires running all over their home theatre set up? I don't.This works great with the Dayton BSA-200 amp. I have the transmitter plugged into my Yamaha amp's bass preamp out. I have 2 so one goes to the real subwoofer and the other goes to this Wave-Link transmitter. Then the receiver is plugged into the Dayton BSA-200. Nice that it has a USB port to power the Wave-Link and then cables for attaching to whatever type of connector you need.I recommend the BSA-200 Amp and the Aura Pro Bass Shakers. I'm sure the Dayton bass shakers are just as good but I bought the Auras.The bass feels awesome. It's very immersive.I plan on getting another set of these Wave-Links and only using the second receiver to go to another set of bass shakers.Some people say there's a delay but I haven't noticed that at all.

kinda junky and makes noise and random clicks and pops from the subwoofer when the TV is off or on.

Transmitter and receiver must have a clear line of sight to maintain connectivity. Mine is 12 from TV to amplifier. It occasionally needs to be powered off to regain connectivity. Most annoying it the audible buzz at higher volumes. I’ve tried reversing polarity of speakers to my amp, also adjusting input level of TV sound. Lastly, adjusted the many sound modes of my amp. No solution yet.

I searched high and low for an audio transmitter that was:• USB powered• Compact• Allowed for 3.5mm jacks for audio in/outThis was exactly what I needed. I actually ordered a different vendor's unit which arrived a day earlier, which I had to return because it had a slight hum in the signal. I'm connecting a MacBook running MainStage and connected to a bunch of USB audio devices, living in a condo with many other electronics in the area, so while it was disappointing, I half expected it.When the Dayton package arrived, I was skeptical but hopeful. The devices are sleek and beautifully designed, which was a plus. But the only thing that truly mattered was: will it work, without any hum? I connected everything up and heard a pretty great signal with the audio transmitting! But when there was no signal, I could hear a really silent-but-definitely-there hum. Super disappointed...But then I realized that the device showed up as a USB audio device! I tried it and IT WORKED! ZERO HUM! Exactly what I'd been looking for!!!I don't know which genius designed this device, but it is excellent, unique, and exactly what I needed. Thank you for reducing the clutter in my home, and allowing me to set up a pretty epic jam setup with minimal wires!

I love these devices, use them regularly for wireless subwoofer links. Compared to other devices, they are the cheapest and work just fine. No idea why a teeny little rf-link is so damn expensive, and that kind of upsets me. Wireless Bluetooth devices are a dime a dozen, why is this so expensive, you got me. Still cheaper than everyone else so got to love that.

Nice product
