One of the biggest problems for many who want a 5.1 surround sound system in their home are the wires that are needed for the speakers. JBL has announced a new product that will make any loudspeaker wireless called the WEM-1.

The system has an operating range of up to 70' and has a variety of connection options including line in and speaker level outputs accommodating a wide range of audio and AV source inputs. The wireless device also has a subwoofer output.

The amp/receiver also has a local input that allows the direct connection of a portable device or other audio source. The JBL On Air WEM-1 Wireless Expansion Module will be available in September 2008 for $359.
