how far apart can they be and still work? I'm looking for an intercom between the barn and house.. about 300 feet-

Ours works fine from one end of the house to other, about 60 feet. I don't think it is a question of distance as much as it would be that they be on the same circuit.

The limiting factor for these intercoms is the electrical wiring in your home, not the distance between intercoms. They are not wireless intercoms. The way that these intercoms work is that they transmit your voice through the electrical wires in your home. They have to be plugged into electrical outlets that are on the same circuit in your home. We had to experiment by plugging the intercoms into different electrical outlets until we found three that were on the same circuit and worked. Most likely, your barn and home do not share the same electrical circuit.

Mine are only 50 feet apart. I suggest that if u can work off the same circuit, they should work fine. Call them.

For me they did not work at all, there was always interference. I tried to use it inside a convenience store maybe the interference of other devices had to do with the poor sound quality of the intercom.

Would work, however, a cheap pair of walkie talkies would do just fine and would have no interference and would be more secure. They can be purchased at Radio Shack.

I use this system at home. One speaker is about 30 ft. ftom the transmitter. The other is about 60 ft. away. When I am moving around the room, the 60 ft. speaker sometimes produces a little static. Both speakers are just a few inches above the floor. Not sure if having more people in the room would create more opportunities for occasional static. Experimenting with the height and placement of the speakers could make a difference.

I've got three in a two story house all in different rooms maybe 30 feet apart - I think the distance doesn't matter so much as long as it's connected to the same house wiring, as it communicates through the house wiring.

I have two mounted than 45 deg. with excellent signal strength. The distance bet. them is about 30"

We have a set up where I'm down in my basement office and my wife is upstairs on the main floor in her office. We use the intercoms with no problems. So far they have worked just great.

I purchased 7 of these to operate LED lights we added to the rear of our snow plow trucks at our church. I know that at least 3 of them have different frequencies. I think that if you have 2 with same frequencies, if they are further than 20 ft apart, it probably will not interfere with each other. FYI. I marked the transmitters and receivers with numbers to help identify which units go together.

Its possible to answer this only for direct distance with no objects between them. What range do you need and what kind of walls/ how many r u planning to have between the transmitter and receiver?

I have used 80 to 90 feet away without problem. I second GOJOE they are not very good mics but they are a cheap option. I used them 3 separate times last Christmas for children's plays, with no problems

Is does not matter. I recommend you place them as far apart from each other as possible in order to get more range. You should consider purchasing an extended cable.

There is NO such thing as "range". They go as long as that electric wire goes. For stations to communicate, they must be on the same electric wire. See Product knowledge ..2nd picture in the picture gallery for detail

Don't know the answer. I did not get mine to work either. Appears to be something wrong with the set up. Could not get them to communicate even when only 200 ft apart. The set up instructions are terrible Only a professional would have a chance to understand them.

Not sure what the maximum distance would be, but I put the main panel in the middle of my house and the sensors are locate up to about 30' feet away. Not problem. Also, the sensor are separated by up to 2 walls (plasterboard interior walls) from the panel. Hope this helps.

I don't think these have that kind of range. But I haven't tried them that far. I think they can only go about 2-3 miles. Sorry I couldn't tell you more.

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.

Probably a mistake, Bluetooth is good up to about 30 feet depending on the area involved and obstructions.

It has more to do with circuitry in the location than anything. They work pretty far away ON THE SAME CIRCUIT. However, if where you are wanting to put these somewhere that is older, they may or may not work properly due to interference due to degraded line quality. If you are not sure what I mean, I would recommend buying something else to avoid disappointment...
