wizop Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just got an email from Klipsch saying they have a new line of Wireless Reference Premier speakers. I may have to email support to get an official answer but I'm wondering if this system can be used with an ATMOS receiver. I am buying a new house and the family room already has four speakers in the ceiling. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to wire surround and rear speakers without tearing up dry wall. Could I use wired speakers in the front and in the ceiling in conjunction with wired speakers in the rear to create a 5.4.1 system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're going to tear drywall down to put in the wires Mark Edited January 6, 2016 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It uses a hub that acts as a receiver, with HDMI inputs. If you had a source with an extra hdmi output where two are active at the same time it would probably work. For example look at the Marantz UD-7007, it allows two simultaneous HDMI outputs. One could go to the wireless hub and another to the receiver, which could then output to the TV/projector. Otherwise I'm not sure how you'd do it.

wizop Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I typoed. I meant to say I'd like to wire the front which is easy and the ceiling which is already wired but use wireless on the sides and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd couldrun one hdmi to the TV for the video and the zone 2 hdmi to the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What I'm curious about is how much latency the system has and what levers Klipsch has provided to mitigate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 not sure what your pocket book would think, but i would just go all HD wireless then. trying to "patch" 2 different technologies won't lead to "perfect" results. i personally ditched my rear 4's when i moved into my open floor plan.
