Thanks to KlipschCast™ wireless technology, the RoomGroove not only lets you create a wireless multi-room music system with two or more units, it also works in conjunction with our CS-700 home theater system (sold separately), letting you wirelessly transmit CD-quality AM/FM radio, TV and movie sound all over your house. There’s no wiring beyond the CS-700 satellites and power cords, no holes to drill and no difficult, time-consuming set up.      

How does it work? Simply, through KlipschCast, the CS-700 sends a wireless audio signal to one or more RoomGrooves. This signal can be the same one playing on the CS-700 or something entirely different. The CS-700 is capable of playing up to two separate sources at the same time. For example, the CS-700 can play a DVD movie in the living room, while the RoomGroove broadcasts the CS-700’s AM/FM tuner in the kitchen.

The RoomGroove can also play music locally, utilizing its retractable iPod dock or through its auxiliary input for other MP3 players. Since the RoomGroove is a transceiver, it can transmit as well as receive, allowing it to send this MP3 music signal to other RoomGroove units throughout the house. In fact, users can create a multi-room music system with just RoomGrooves. And, a RoomGroove gives you a choice. If a home has three RoomGrooves and “Song A” is playing in the bedroom and “Song B” is playing in the office, then the RoomGroove in the kitchen can listen to either song or play what’s on its own iPod.

As a side note, the RoomGroove not only brings out the best in your iPod, it will also work with your computer. All you have to do is connect the RoomGroove to your computer via its auxiliary input. This allows you to broadcast your computer's entire music library, including content from your favorite Internet radio station, to other RoomGrooves around your house.  

The robust 2.4GHz wireless technology found in the RoomGroove and CS-700 offers unlimited add-on opportunities. Plus, the technology “sniffs out” the entire 2.4GHz band to detect other wireless technologies in use, such as wireless routers, and then transmits around the spectrum used by those sources. The home code dial on each of these wireless speakers allows you to select a code specific to all of your units to avoid interference from neighbor systems. 

KlipschCast FAQs

Up to what distance can KlipschCast products transmit and receive wireless signals?
These products were designed to have an average transmitting/receiving distance of 75 feet, broadcasting through walls, ceilings and floors. However, every scenario is different because every house is different. Homes that are primarily made of wood and drywall allow the KlipschCast wireless signals to travel great distances; homes featuring a lot of metal and concrete don’t always allow the wireless signals to travel as freely.

What if I lose my RoomGroove remote?
If you own a CS-700, the CS-700 remote can operate the RoomGroove. The only “non-intuitive” button is the input button on the CS-700 remote, which would be the listen button on the RoomGroove remote. 

Can I use KlipschCast products with other wireless products?
KlipschCast products are designed to only work with other KlipschCast products.

Reviews

" ... the RoomGroove has a big, dynamic sound, with powerful bass. Even when we pumped up the Rolling Stones nice and loud, the compact speaker did not cry uncle. The soaring vocal harmonies of bluegrass rockers The Avett Brothers were quite credible. We listened up close, within 2 or 3 feet, and from the other side of the room, and the RoomGroove sounded fine at any reasonable distance."
- Steve Guttenberg, CNET [3/10/2008]

"One of the biggest selling points of the RoomGroove is its simplicity. I plugged it in and was up and running in a couple of minutes--far and away the record among the wireless products I've tested."
- Christopher Jones, The Perfect Vision [10/1/2007]

"In several weeks of testing, I never noticed any interference or compromises in the sound quality, which was equally good in both the transmitting and receiving speakers."
- Christopher Jones, The Perfect Vision [10/1/2007]

"...the RoomGroove's sound was smooth and natural, with more subdued treble than some of the other iPod speakers I've tested. And the bass, while not deep by any means, was tight, clean, and surprisingly palpable without being overly boomy."
