User review of Acoustic Research AW822 Outdoor Wireless Speaker
This is an excellent product. I had no trouble installing it and it is very easy to use. I tune my cable music channels to whatever I want to hear and then take my speaker anywhere in the house, garage or yard. Since I am hearing impaired, this is a great asset for me.

AR AW822
The AR AW822 has a great sound that is not over powering, The coverage is about 20' by 20' and has a excellent range of deep base and tone. The transmission range is less than 125' feet before static is introduced, You can get further with nothing in the line of site.
The best feature is the auto sound leveling. This means no rushing back to the audio source to turn it up or down.
If you match this with another speaker both, set to mono, you get a very nice background sound that during a party or just relaxing on the deck is soothing and enjoyable. And yes even rock and hip/hop music sound great when turned up!
I would go as far as to say this is amusement park quality.

Great speaker - easy to use
I bought this speaker for my mother. She is technically challenged but she hooked it up with no problems and she absolutely loves it. She has gone on and on about how great it is - I am going to buy a pair for myself.

OK but some issues
The speaker sounds nice when it works, but just some scattered thoughts:
I ordered this speaker to have music on my deck. The original plan was to run music (ipod) from my living room receiver to the deck - which is 50 feet and one wall away. I wanted the same music in the living room as on the deck. The signal wasn't near powerful enough, even trying several different outputs - (and even after adjusting the ipod volume, etc, no luck) - to the point where music just wouldn't play. I do have an older home with plaster walls, so perhaps this was the problem. I wasn't expecting the advertised 250 feet, I understand that it would take a perfect scenario, but realistacally, if walls are involved, expect 20-30 feet. In order to use the speaker, I have to place the transmitter and ipod in my kitchen, which is just inside from the deck. The speaker does sound good, and the outdoor volume is adaquate. I wasn't expecting the wireless sound to be so good. There is ocasional static when someone crosses the line of the signal, or when the sliding door opens/closes. More gripes - once an album is done on the ipod, or any other source, the speaker goes to loud static - and scares everyone. It would be nice if there was an auto mute - the cure of course is to just use a very long play list. Also, there is no sound leveling. Many song files are different, so volumes can change per song. I know this is more of my problem (poor source) and it's not fair to complain of these things since they aren't advertised features, but just be aware of them. The best use for this would be if you had a huge deck, and you actually had the transmitter outside, and two of these speakers on the back corners or spread out on the deck. For $70 it's not bad. I wanted a stationary solution, but now I have to grab my ipod+ charger and move it to the kitchen to have sound outside. Just keep in mind the issues above and that the transmitter needs to be close for clear, static free sound.
