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

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 speakers, or Zone B, or Zone 2 speakers. Whatever you call it… you want it.

This picture included here is basically what I am doing. I have my secondary R and L speaker-outs connected to my Rocketfish sender. The sender transmits the full rang, uncompressed CD-quality audio about 60 feet away, through 2 walls, and in an apartment building with plenty of WiFi around. It sounds awesome. I can finally listen to my tunes loud and clear while I get ready in my bedroom in the mornings. It rocks.

Many receivers, dating back 10 years or more, have Zone B outs. How many of yours are being used? Well, now you can.

Get creative. The RF-WHTIB has more uses than simply rear surround speakers. It has audio capabilities that make it one of the consumer electronics industry’s most over-achieving $99 device.
