I know this thread is a year old but...I've got just the same
requirement - SB3 connected to the hi-fi in the lounge and want to hear
it in the kitchen/outside for BBQs.
juniper - did you find a satisfactory solution?
I also had a (wild?) thought - I've got Sennheiser RS 140 wireless
This doesn#8217;t really sound like the type of setup you#8217;re
after but#8230; this is how I currently pipe music around the house

I already had an mp3 player (Creative Zen) and I convert my .flac to
high-end .mp3 format for use with this. I just move this around the
house with a
I have just popped in to check the forum and I just want to say that I
really appreciate the very useful advice that you have all given me. I
will need a little time to digest etc. and when I get anywhere I will
of course report back. In the meantime many thanks one and all.

My 1 x SB3 is currently connected to my old stereo amplifier which
feeds the speakers. Posters here have talked about having multiple SB3s
(lucky them) - does this mean multiple amplifiers?
Q1.
Yes, you need an amplifier to drive your speakers. The SB does not have
an amplifier in it.

The SB3 has no amplifier (beyond the headphones amp). However, some
wireless speakers take the headphone jack and use that. So it may be no
amplifier is necessary.
I echo the sentiments about wireless speakers. They're low-fi. If
that's all you want, great. We run them in one installation. But
An SB needs to be connected to at least one of (a) an amplifier, (b)
amplified speakers (aka powered or active speakers), or (c) headphones.
Think of the SB like a CD player or tape deck in your stereo setup --
the output needs to be amplified to drive speakers.
So for Q1, the SB can be

Can anyone advise please?
My original plan was to buy wireless speakers to pick up sound from my
PC. This was before my kids bought me the SB3 for my birthday - nice
kids!.
My PC is in Room 1. My new (fantastic) SB3 is in Room 2. It is linked
to my old stereo amplifier and speakers (also in room
The SB3 won't communicate with your speakers - it's your amplifier that
does that. If your SB3 is connected to this amplifier then you should
be good to go.

I know I will sound v ignorant but how can I enable wireless speakers to
communicate with my 10 year old stereo amplifier - now being fed by the
SB3.

Wireless speakers have a transmitter that plugs into your audio-out
connections and sends a signal to the speakers. I've never heard any
that impressed me.

Well, it depends on what you really want to be able to do. If you ever
want to be able to play different music simultaneously in different
rooms you need multplie SBs. Many of us have more than one. (I've got
4 in different parts of the house connected in various ways--through an

Well again this is all happening between the amp and speakers rather
than with the SB but you are either buying 'wireless speakers' or I
think there is even a device that can make any speaker 'wireless'

Thanks so far I am mulling over the input to date. I do not want to play
diff music in diff rooms - just want to let the same music to follow me
around in the house without a major upheaval of equipment. I thought a
pair of wireless speakers being easily portable would achieve that.

perhaps you will be the one to pioneer this as a solution(!) No reason
why what you want to do won't work. There may be some logistical
issues (I think wireless speakers generally need to be plugged in--but
maybe there are battery powered ones out there) and there are very
likely to be sound
Thanks Cshaida. I really appreciate the interest and contributions over
the past hour or so. I will look at the other threads and wherever else
is worth looking. I must admit I thought that my need was not unusual,
and was probably quite a key requirement for receiving internet audio

I thought about getting wireless speakers to transmit music from the
audio system in the living room to the kitchen. But the reviews I read
of various wireless speakers were all pretty negative: interference,
static, difficulties tuning in to the transmitter on the hifi, etc.
That, plus
