The OSD WR800 Rock Speakers kick out big sound in a wireless package.

The OSD-WR800 Rock speaker includes a sturdy 8" polypropylene cone woofer with butyl rubber surround, providing excellent bass response. This system comes with two rock speakers, audio transmitter, power supplyfor the rock speakers and transmitter, remote control, and audio cable.
If it’s wireless, why are the speakers connected by wires?
Wireless refers to the fact that you do not need to connect the rock speakers to your audio source. The two speakers are connected via speaker wire. The reason for this is that an amplifier is built into a main speaker which acts as the power source for both speakers. This is why the rock speakers must be wired together. Features

TLBy Paul from New Hampshire on December 25, 2011 Just got the WR800 wireless speakers for Christmas. I'm trying to hook them up to a Sony amplifier. My speaker outputs on the amplifier do not take RCA type jacks. They take raw speaker cable connections. In addition, there are four speaker posts on the back of the amplifier that need to get connected. Left speaker positive and negative, and right speaker positive and negative. If I hook the WR800 antenna to on of these connections, say left positive and negative, I get no sound. I know everything works because I can connect my iPod and get sound. I'm thinking my receiver needs to have all four speaker posts connected in order for it to work. What am I missing? By Customer Service - Q&A on December 27, 2011Answer:Hi Paul,
The WR-800 is a powered speaker system. That is why it worked when you connected your iPod directly to it using the 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable that comes with the unit. A second cable is supplied for connecting to an RCA (R + L) output (this is un-amplified) from a receiver. You cannot connect this to the Speaker level (amplified) output from the receiver. If you supplied us with the model number of the receiver, we could answer this. Check your owner's manual to see if you have a low level RCA output. I hope that helps.
TL/MABy James Gray from Clemmons, NC on October 4, 2011 Can you expand your system by adding more speaker pairs? If so, can you order the speaker pairs separately? How would they be listed for ordering? By Customer Service - Q&A on October 4, 2011Answer:Yes you can add more pairs to the system, they share the same transmitter in the range. You can just order another pair and don't use the transmitter. We don't have sku for speakers without the transmitter.
By Jason from brea, CA on October 7, 2011 I was using wireless rock speakers for outside. But that didn't work when the neighbors have the same thing and the two kept interfering with each other. We had to take ours down. Looking for something we can use that will not interface with the neighbors. He would turn his on and cut our out and we have their music playing in ours. By Customer Service - Q&A on October 7, 2011Answer:It is easy to solve this problem, you need to push the channel selector button on the remote control (there are 8 channels to choose from) until you hear your music.
Note: The speaker always picks up the closest transmitter signalBy Mark from Chicago, Illinois on December 29, 2011 Bought as a gift for my mother and we can't hear any music. I have pressed the channel switch on the transmitter and repeatedly pressed the on/off switch on the remote and I get static on one channel and no sound out of the others. I have connected to an I-Pod and also tried the RCA cables to a reciever and get the same results. What am I missing? Is the product defective? By Customer Service - Q&A on December 30, 2011Answer:Hi Mark:
I am sorry you are experiencing issues. Please contact our RMA department, brennan@osdaudio.com. he can discuss troubleshooting the product. It just may be a bad transmitter in which we can send you a replacement. You can call Brennan directly at 1-888-779-4968 x120 to dicsuss.
TLBy jm from phoenix az on October 15, 2011 The power source in my backyard is 30 ft from where I'd like to put the speakers. Even if I add an outlet it will be 10ft at minimum away from where I'd like to put the base speaker (due to building code with a pool). Is it okay to bury the power cord to the base speaker and leave in the elements year around? Does anybody have a suggestion? By Customer Service - Q&A on October 19, 2011Answer:I would not recommend burying the power supply directly in the ground. If you ran it in some conduit or something to protect it when buried, then that would be fine. By kurt from Santa Barbara, CA on May 8, 2012 I would like to use a solar panel and battery to power this system. How much power does this require DC Volts and Amperage.
Thanks! By Customer Service - Q&A on May 8, 2012Answer:Hi Kurt:
The transmitter uses a AC-DC Adapter rated as follows:
Class 2 Transformer
Input: 12V AC 60Hz MAX 7W
Output: 4.5V DC, 300mA
There is also a AC-DC adapter for the Main Speaker:
Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz 1.5A
Output: 14.5V.... 4.0A
There is a cable that connects the two speakers providing power to the second speakers wireless Receiver and internal power amp.
TLBy Jon E from Evansville, IN on March 27, 2012 I have 1 main speaker and 3 pairing speakers. (bought 2nd hand). Can I run the other 2 speakers I series from the first pairing speaker? By Customer Service - Q&A on March 29, 2012Answer:Hi Jon:
The key to your situation is you need two main speakers that have a power input and power output to the satellite speaker. The main Speaker has a power input that is either connected to the power supply (AC) that is plugged in to an outlet or an internal Battery pack (6 AA, not included). If you bought a second set (1 main and 1 satellite) you can connect to a single Transmitter to power two pairs of the WR-150 wirelss Rocks. Both pairs still need to connect power to the main Rock Speakers and then hard wired with the power wire to the matched Satellite Rock Speaker. Otherwise you can only use one satellite with the Single main.
TLBy Jim Gray from Clemmons, NC on November 14, 2011 Can you get another remote for the WR800's? By Customer Service - Q&A on November 14, 2011Answer:Yes, it’s $19.95 for a second remote. You’ll need to call us directly to order (562) 697-2600
TL/MABy Charlie B from Herndon, VA on November 19, 2011 I want a pair of good-quality outdoor speakers for my deck, in the rear of my home. The amp is inside the house, about 15-20 feet from the rear wall of the house; the deck is attached to the rear wall. The home is wood frame with vinyl siding (no brick or stone). Can I rely on the wireless transmitter to transmit thru the back wall of the house, short distance? tx Charlie By Customer Service - Q&A on November 21, 2011Answer:Yes, the audio signal can easily travel 150 feet. It is a 2.4GHz RF signal that has no problem transmitting through walls. Note, however, that you will still need an outdoor AC outlet to plug into. Then run the power cable to the main speaker that has the internal wireless receiver. Last but not least, connect the second or satellite speaker with the 30 feet of speaker wire that is supplied with the pair.
TL/MAProduct Reviews: Write a Review16 user rated 4.4 out of 5 stars
There are not many outdoor wireless rock speakers in the market, especially the 8" version. I think Klipsch and Creative Labs sell them but way to expensive. Having purchased the wired rock speakers (RS850) from OSD before I go ahead ordering these new 8" wireless speakers. They look good, easy to setup, plug into my ipod (stereo headphone), I placed the speakers about 150ft from my house and they sound beatiful, the bass is rich.
I gave it four stars because compring to my wired rock speakers, they seem a little "digital" sound, but overall I'm very happy about it. - Joe
Setup is easy, hook the transmitter to my ipod using the included stereo to RCA cable. My speakers are about 200ft away from the media room which I put the transmitter. The bass is good like typical 8" speakers which are esential for outdoor use. No loss or cut off of signal due to the 2.4G digital transmission. Good qulity build and finish. Overall I'm very happy for this wireless rock speakers. - Tony
we were looking for a nice system for around our pool. Our daughter had a boom box that had to brought in everynight. With these rock speakers we set them in place and we are done - ron
Nice looking and great sound. - Shelagh
great sound for a wireless speaker system. 8" speakers sound great. you will want to have the speakers set in a location where it will not be obstructed. i found lost signal while walking in front of the signal. No matter what, I end up turning them down vs turning them up. They can go loud enough to make the next door neighbors mad. - jayjay
Was a little leary at first when i saw the price but after shopping around I realized that for good speakers this was not out of the ordinary. These speakers do not disappoint. Sounded great right out of the box. Set up took maybe 10 minutes if that. Want to add more already. - JD
Put these wireless rock speakers around the pool, located away from the house. They sound great, good tones, good volume and a wireless remote! All I need is a wireless app to access the laptop. I will add two more. - Bobby T
Good sound, waterproof as advertised, wireless works well with no interference. Hooked up to a Sirius Satellite Radio and the pool is Rocking! As long as you have AC power outside near the speaker installation you'll be Rocking quickly. - Robert
Easy set up and great sound quality. The biggest downfall is interference in the wireless connection. Just a casual walk through the wireless zone causes major issues. We had them on our pool deck and walking in other areas, outside the wireless path, would cause interference due to vibrations. - D
We use these outdoors by our stand alone spa. With the spa running, we do have to turn the volume up pretty high to hear them over the bubbling water. They just go above that sound, but the volume level could be just a bit louder, other than that, they are pretty fantastic. This is where the remote control that comes with it turns out to be very handy. With the remote control you can turn the speakers on or off, and also adjust the volume of them up or down. Now my wife & I can go outside , relax in the spa & listen to our favorite music. If you have a tv outside mounted up by your patio or near an outside free standing structure, and if you set your receiver on cable sound, you could also send the sound of a footbal, basketball, or baseball game outside to those speakers as well. We have it hooked up to our inside surround receiver on our zone 2 output and can be listening to either the same sound as indoors, or something comepletey different. It is hooked up so we have a choice of, the am-fm tuner, cable box sound whether music, a tv show, movie, or sports, cd music, or music from an I-pod. Thanks OSD, you made enjoying our spa so much better, all without having to run wires to our outside just to receive that enjoyment. - Roger, Aztazman
These speakers sound great and can easily fill a medium size yard with sound. Good bass response and clear highs. The transmitter is relatively weak - had to move it within 50 feet for a reliable connection.
Note: There is no L/R/Mono or Audio Balancing on these speakers as the website indicates. - Happy Customer
Spunds great! Just make sure the device your playing from is turned up high so the outdoor speakers will have a wider range of volume. - DW
System is well designed and manufactured. I really like the substantial connectors and the consideration to keep out moisture.
The only issue I had was that one of the screw that hold the speaker wire onto the connector had a splotch of the speaker outer coating dripped onto it. The screw head almost stripped before I could free the screw. Once freed the wire screw worked as intended. - Smokin' Goat
Great quality, support, sound and looks. Well worth the price over any competion, if you consider any speaker system worthy to compare !
Needed further clarification if the outdoor transformer is actually weatherproof as well, customer support concured that the transformer is weatherproof as well as the speakers and wiring harness ! Thanks customer service / tech support very friendly and helpfull. Speedie1989 - Speedie-1989
Had Speakers and Transmitter installed in a heavily wooded area for music enhancement of a drive through light show. Sound quality was excellant,(The local deer didn't appreciate it though)
Two installation factors to keep in mind.
1. MUST be Line of Sight to the receiving speaker,(It states this in the operating instructions) We had to clear a path of tree limbs, ground debris etc, or raise the Transmitter above it. Can't see over a slight hill.
2. Rain seems to distort the signal. For our application, this caused no complaints,(except from the deer) but I could see where this might be a problem to others.
This speaker system was an excellant solution to our needs, we are talking now about expanding to other areas of the light show for futher enhancement.
Great Product! - Jim, Light Show Technician
Great speakers, high quality. Look great, nice size and weight. Heavy duty speaker wires. Easy to install...my son came home from college and we put them around the pool and they really complete the back yard....sound quality is second to none. Was afraid of tinny sound, not with these!! Great base, and midrange. Would get more and highly recommend to anyone and everyone!!! Remote control is a great feature, and the whole thing is water proof. - Lash LaRue You May Also Like:  Price: $299.95 Sale Price: $149.50 truefalsefalse299.95149.5Your Price:  |  |  Price: $249.95 Sale Price: $149.95 truefalsefalse249.95149.95Your Price:  |  |  Price: $299.95 Sale Price: $149.50 truefalsefalse299.95149.5Your Price:  |
