Like many others I am sure, Kevin snagged one of the RF-WHTIBs that were on sale last weekend.  He’s declared that it has solved his problem.  Great!
Interesting blog, too.



Black Friday makes a steal out of the Rocketfish RF-WHTIB

» by mtc November 22nd, 2007 at 12:41 pm » Comments (3)

This Thanksgiving holiday season, I’ve seen more Black Friday chatter on the web than I can remember ever seeing in the past. From Gizmodo, Engadget, Google ads to ad hoc urls like http://www.blackfriday.info, it’s endless.
Obviously some deals are better than others. The one that caught my eye of course is the one offered […]



Brian Dipert at EDN is trying co-existence with AvneraAudio

» by mtc October 31st, 2007 at 2:43 am » Comments (2)

At Brian’s Brain, Dipert was one of the first bloggers to write about the Rocketfish RF-WHTIB. He had some issues with an early production example, but has since come back to it after realizing the grass ain’t so green on the 5.8 GHz side of the fence. So far so good.
The experience he […]



Rocketfish RF-WHTIB given away by Bale

» by mtc September 17th, 2007 at 7:45 pm » Comments (0)

Trolling for Rocketfish write-ups, I came across Bale’s blog.
What I like about this particular article was that he asked users why they needed/wanted a free RF-WHTIB. It’s great to read through the customers’ own descriptions of their pain points… scroll thru the comments in case you are wondering why you may need one.

Gear Diary did a review of the RF-WHTIB.  Best quote:
Once a connection has been established, just start listening to your system and enjoy the full surround sound experience. I was extremely impressed by the quality of the sound coming through these speakers. I did not notice any significant difference or degradation in the sound quality […]



Floppyhead reveiws the RF-WHTIB. Sees the value.

» by mtc July 26th, 2007 at 2:41 am » Comments (0)

Not sure who Floppyhead are, but they wrote a pretty good review of the Rocketfish RF-WHTIB. They write with a bit more journalistic tone than AliveMatters, if not a bit less transparency. Who are they, and why do they care so much about HTPCs and getting advertising revenue? Anyways…
Good passage here that sums […]



Rocketfish RF-WHTIB for Zone B applications - affordable party mode audio!

» by mtc June 1st, 2007 at 10:44 am » Comments (0)

Sorry for the cheesy graphic (click on it if you want a cleaner view). But as I’ve been writing about the Rocketfish RF-WHTIB (here, here, external-review-1, external-review-2) for weeks now, I thought it would be useful to illustrate how I use mine.
Some can call it a poor man’s whole home audio, or party mode […]



Another review of Rocketfish RF-WHTIB… thorough, appreciates value

» by mtc May 28th, 2007 at 5:11 am » Comments (0)

This PHTG guy has written a super-thorough review of the Rocketfish RF-WHTIB Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. His results again indicate that wireless performance was excellent, and coexistance with WLAN was acceptable.
We have a WLAN using 802.11b/g/pre-N gear; the sender unit was just a few feet away from the main router. There is also a […]
