Product Description The Kenwood RFU-6100 eliminates one of home theater's biggest hassles: wiring the surround speakers! Future Ready wireless surround speaker system uses separate RF transmitter and receiver units that eliminate the speaker AC plugs found on conventional wireless speaker systems and allows you to use higher-quality surround speakers than are typically found in conventional wireless surround speaker systems. The separate RF receiver unit has a built-in high-power digital amplifier for the surround speakers (up to 50 watts x 2), which dramatically improves sound quality over conventional wireless systems, and it can be used up to 100 feet away from the transmitter. Active circuitry reduces noise interference, and 4 selectable RF transmission channels eliminate interference from other RF devices. The Auto Power On/Off function means you never have to turn the RFU-6100 off or on manually.

Decent for a while, but didn't lastMarch 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've owned the Kenwood wireless speaker module for a while now and it worked ok for a while, but its quality has faded over time. I don't know if this is indicative of other units or not.
I've always been able to hear a little noise from the rear speakers if I have my ear close, but when the speakers were placed further away I didn't notice the noise.
Occasionally I would hear a loud pop of static, but it didn't happen often. Recently though the frequency of these pops has become too much and I'm back shopping for a better solution. In the meantime I've had to stop using the rear speakers.
Does What It Says - For A WhileMarch 25, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
So, I'm updating my review - why? Well like the reviewer above after several weeks of operation, the units seem more sensitive to interference, and continually generate statis 'pops' even when supposed to be in standby mode.
My housekeeper was quite startled once or twice and the unit is rapidly failing in the wife acceptance test so I'm also back to looking at more solutions. I wish I could down edit my stars on this,,,,
So set these up last night and tried out watching the Stargate BluRay Stargate (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray] and it does exactly what it says. Use it for my rear surround speakers and it works perfectly.
'front' unit has short (4ft?) hard wired connections to connect to your amp, rear unit an approx. 6ft power cord. You provide the speaker cable.
Units power down to standby when not used, channel 2 (of 4) proved the right one for me and eliminated any background hum and eliminated interference walking between the units etc.
Based so far on a 2 hour trial, they seem excellent for surround sound speaker use. I haven't and wouldn't try them for primary music or sound sources though.
Worked PerfectlyMarch 10, 2008 The Kenwood RFU-6100 Wireless Module for Surround Speakers worked perfectly for me in the finished basement, where running wires would have been very difficult.
problem solved!January 7, 2008 This product helped me solve a nightmare of a wiring problem. I am very much satisfied with this product. The only negative is that I do hear some pops, but it does not occur often. The positives definitely outweigh that 1 small issue. It works perfectly 99% of the time, very easy to setup, and eliminates the need to run wires across all my walls/ceilings. It probably would have cost me more to buy all of the plastic tubing to hide the wires vs. use this product.
awesome!December 27, 2007 I just received this for Christmas and I love it! I wanted an easy way to get rid of my speaker wires running to the back of my room, but didn't have an easy way to hide them. The RFU-6100 took care of that problem. It took me about 5 minutes to hook up this device and have it up and running. I didn't have a single issue with installation which is a BIG plus!
I've tested the sound quality on DVDs and my Xbox 360 and can't tell a difference at all. I expected there to be a small degrade in audio quality, but I could not hear any.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for wireless surround.
