Do the rear speakers connect to the wireless module on this model? I've seen other models with "W" in the part number, meaning wireless?

Yes (and sort of no). There is a receiver about the size of a large book that the two speakers connect to. It's the "book" that has the wireless connection. There are no wires from the main unit to the receiver but two speaker wires to the receiver

what is the power source for the rear wireless ones? Will I have to plug in or do they use batteries?

To add to what the other commenters have said here, the wireless module plugs into a wall outlet, but it can be pretty well hidden. You won't need to interact with it, as the main unit will activate the wireless module when it is turned on. If you're paranoid about parasitic energy consumption, you may not like that, but if it's well designed then both the wireless module and the main unit go into a low energy-consumption mode when not being used.

It's wireless to the rear module, then wired to the rear speakers.This still helps cut down on cross-the-room wiring for me.

Yes. There is a receiver that connects to the rear speakers and wirelessly to the mail unit.

Check the Klipsch website. It will tell you the models that's the wireless unit works with.

I had the same problem. Sony STRDE985 home theater receiver. Wanted to hook up my wireless speakers to use as the rear surrounds, but I only have speaker terminals, not direct outputs. So, I found an adapter at www.connectworld.net that you use with the RCA adapter that came with the speakers. The adapter from connectworld has a female RCA plug on one end, and two speaker wires on the other end. You will need two of these units. They cost 4 bucks a piece, plus shipping. I just ordered them, so I haven't received them yet to know if that is the solution to my problem. Hard to imagine that it WOULDN'T be, though. I had the same problem.

Most Systems do not. However u can purchase a Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit. Make sure you have power near the rear speaker setup.

The cheapest, easy fix would be to just wire your surround back speaker (which is what the one directly behind you is designated in a 6.1 system, not sure why it's not just called 'rear center') into both of the outputs in the receiver marked 'left rear and right rear'.The alternative would be to use the S-Air wireless feature and add the extra speakers that way.

Hi Adam, Thanks for the question about the Wireless Outdoor Speakers. Paul pretty well covers it. I would just add the speaker wire connections on the back of the speakers can use a banana plug or screws to pinch the wire into place. Contact AV-Express for more information.

They are not really wireless - there is one wireless (wireless only while connecting to the base unit) receiving unit that does have a wire that plugs into the wall. The wireless receiving unit is wired to the two rear speakers.

they are not wireless. the rear speakers can be made wireless but you must find a module for it. but hooking up the speakers are very simple, everything is color coded.

Actually, I can't remember if it had a wireless option, but I had mine connected with speaker wire. Very easy install per the directions.

No it is not wireless and the wires they provided are pretty short, so actually your surround sound rear speakers are pretty close to the front speakers at its maximum extension. Further my base speakers went out about a year after I purchased the unit and I really did not use it that often enough to justify the money paid for it. I contacted the manufacturers for replacement of the base speaker as everything connects to the base speaker and their reply is for me to pay for a whole complete set and use the satellite speakers for replacement. So they are just junk lying around in my study and I do not propose to buy from this company again.

I have this system and it sounds great.. However, your husband would not like that the rear speakers are not wireless. Great system though!!

None of the speakers are wireless. I have found this unit to not operate satisfactorily. It has a lot of glitches. I can't get the two back speakers to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But it's very touchy about the disc and often has trouble reading it. Find a better system!

Its says its wireless but what they meant is that your rear speakers don't connect into the main console. Its still wired but the rear speakers uses wires that plug into a seperate console that you can place anywhere. The rear speaker console and main console feed a wireless connection to one another. I hope this helps, its kinda hard to describe.

They should since the wireless is from the front to the back. The back speakers are wired into the rear control box.

No, they can't. Honestly though... I don't see any advantage because wireless rear speakers still need to be plugged into an outlet. These sound fantastic!

there's a wire between them. what is wireless is that there's a wireless receiver for the 2 rear speakers so there's no wires from the main receiver to the back speakers. this is a great system for the price. hope this helps.
