I recently purchased the JBL On Air Control 2.4G wireless speaker system without realizing my receiver (Sony) did not have preamp RCA outputs. Is there anyway I can buy a seperate preamp system to connect to my receiver that will then allow this to work? Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer
Unfortunately there is not.....without preamp outputs you have NO way to get the signal from your Sony receiver to the next receiver WITH preamp outputs and if you did you would have volume control problems and ground loop problems galore! If i were you and you really wanted to use these speakers you purchased I would upgrade my AVR with one that has the preamp outputs.

Hope this helps you.

What are the components of a speaker system?

I know you need the speakers, but what else do i need to create a wireless speaker system for a patio that gets music from an iPod or the radio. (Ex: Receiver, Remote, Amplifier, etc.)

Answer
Aside from an enclosure, the speaker(s) and a cross over you will need some form of amplification to get the signal from the receiver. Once you have sorted out the wireless component (ie. the sending and receiving) try to find either a powered speaker or source a small audio amplification kit (not too hard to build) from E-bay.
Keep in mind, you will need to provide some form of power to this unit.

Good luck
