I can't look up the numbers right now, and although I would think wifi
bandwidth is greater than bluetooth bandwidth, I wouldn't think this
would be the issue. I would think either would be more than adequate to
handle a single audio stream. To me, I was experiencing more of a
clipping sound that sounded like some power saving feature was kicking
in on the transmitter or the receiver. It was probably the receiver in
my case since I was using bluetooth headphones. When you're stretching
the limits of the technology, such as being about 30 feet away on your
typical bluetooth connection, you'll also start experiencing data loss.
Note that when I switched to a new pair of bluetooth headphones and used
them with my cell phone as a stereo bluetooth connection, the results
were much better.
I think you're true audiophile is going to want to skip all of this
wireless stuff anyway and stick with good high quality hard wires. I'm
too old to be an audiophile anymore myself though, so I go with convenience.

a Wi-Fi connection, would this be right?

Hi john,
Well it works more or less like a virtual cable betwean your analog audio
devices.
For example you can with the transmitting unit send the line out from a unit
to your line in on another unit.
The sound remains in the digital world until it's been converted by the
receiver.
Best regards
Brian

High Dain.,
Ok, so you can't pick it up with an fm receiver.
But how does one get a blue tooth audio signal on his or her stereo system?
John.

you're not missing anything and you're quite right as you can't, we
started talking about bluetooth audio - which has nothing to do with FM
transmitters - so that's why I canged the subject line, after all who
wants to see a subject line talking about FM transmitters when someone's
talking about Bluetooth?

Yes! I think the Iphone uses the stereo transmission bluetooth profile
by
default.

Hi,
The big problem here is that headsets and so on using Bluetooth uses
the audio profile for mobile headsets and you're right it simply
sounds really bad.
There are, however, under the Bluetooth 2.1 standard a very nice
profile for stereo transmition that most users will find sutable for
ordinary audio.
At least you don't get this annoying hissing sound you always get with
an fm transmitter. But if you're a real hifi freak you'd never want
anything but good cables. :-)

My experience in the past has been that audio quality through
bluetooth wasn't all that good, but I suspect that was my particular
rig, since I see a lot of people listening to music via bluetooth. I
found it was hard to use with JAWS too since the power saving features
frequently had words being chopped off. I tended to use it for sports
more
than anything.
BTW, I recently got a new pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I
use with my cell phone, and although I haven't used it a lot to listen
to music yet, the experience does seem to be better than my previous
experience.

I was under the impression that sound quality wasn't all that good
but I
believe I can be proved wrong on that score now as its gone ahead in
leaps and bounds! will see when the bluetooth speakers arrive!

Hi,
Not correct.
Hifi vendors produce class 2 BT units that can transfer pure sound
over a distance of 100 ft or more.

You can't do that as bluetooth has very limited range and is really
meant for cell phone headsets, close range computer keyboards and
things like that.

The current version of this transmitter comes with a remote
control that allows the frequency to be adjusted by pushing up
and down buttons. The gain control is on the front rather than
on the
back.
It is a good unit which you can leave on for days and weeks and
the frequency will remain stable.
If you buy the high gain antenna and set it up properly, it will
transmit up to 300 yards without significant degradation of
signal.

HI PERFORMANCE FM-100MWS-LCD-E
Digital PLL FM stereo transmitter
ONLY $345 USD
12 Volt Power Supply
Our New FM-100mW-LCD unit is ready to go and comes complete
with a compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 12 volt
power supply that works with 120 or 240 VAC sources.
All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA
inputs on the back of the unit, and you are on the air!
This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out
perform most of the low cost units on the market since it was
carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies
down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz for the high frequencies. Believe
me, this unit sounds just like the big stations! Excellent base
and highs!!!
Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure
you
will have a very stable signal at all times. The frequencies can
easily
be
selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire.
The frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution
is 100KHz. I should also mention that the stereo separation is
excellent! We tested this unit against 4 other stereo unit that
did not even come close.
The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure
that shields the unit. No cheap plastic box used here! For more
range a high gain antenna could be used and connected to the
standard BNC connector on the back of the unit.
If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo
transmitter, this is definitely the one!
