This wireless transmitter and receiver system
use the latest 5.8 GHz technology that travels
through walls, floors, ceilings and other
obstacles, delivering high quality sound for
your home theater system’s rear surround
speakers. Using this wireless system, you will
experience movie theater quality sound in
your own home using your current home
theater surround system. We have designed
this system for use with your surround sound
home theater system to enhance the quality
of the sound and balance coming from your
speakers. You can now eliminate running
long speaker wires through your rooms, while
enhancing the sound coming from those
speakers.
How It Works
The transmitter converts the audio signal
from your audio source into a 5.8GHz radio
frequency and transmits it to the receiver.
The receiver will pick up the best signal from
one of its two antennas and convert the
signal back to its original form. Using a
powerful amplifier, the signal is passed to
your connected rear surround speakers. The
result is an enhanced sound quality resulting
in a theater quality surround sound
experience.
This system is compatible with most audio
sources such as televisions, VCRs, stereo
receivers/amplifiers, CD players, and
personal stereos. This unit allows you to
listen to wired speakers in any room in the
house when a two-channel source is
connected to the transmitter. The audio link
system also tracks the volume setting of your
audio source, so that when you increase or
decrease the volume on the audio source,
the link’s connected speakers respond
accordingly.
Some of this system’s other features include:
6 user-adjustable channels
2 diversity receiver antennas for optimal
audio reception.
Adjustable speaker and line level input
control
256 option personal ID Code
Ideal for Dolby 5.1 Digital, Pro Logic II,
DTS, SCAD and DVD Audio Systems
Provides digital transmission for superb
audio clarity
Immune to interference from microwave
ovens and other popular 2.4GHz
equipment

Questions and Answers

    Why does my Radio Shack 15-1974 Media Converter have noise?
    • A
      Annette JacksonJul 29, 2025
      To troubleshoot noise issues with your Radio Shack Media Converter, ensure the antennas on both the transmitter and receiver are upright and have a clear line of sight. Try moving the units closer together, maintaining a minimum distance of three feet. Cordless phones can cause interference, so position the receiver farther away or change the transmitter's channel. Metal objects may also interfere; try positioning antennas to face the ceiling. Finally, try switching to another frequency channel.

      If your Radio Shack Media Converter system isn't receiving a signal, first ensure both units are powered on and your audio source is active. Check that your speakers are properly connected and that the green LED on the receiver is lit. If the LED is flickering or unlit, adjust the antennas. If you've set a personal ID Code, verify that both units use the same code.

      Marcus FletcherAug 11, 2025
      If you are not getting sound from the rear surround speakers of your Radio Shack Media Converter, check the receiver's volume level to ensure it's adequately balanced with the rest of your system. Also, confirm that the transmitter is powered on and the red LED is illuminated. If the transmitter is in standby mode, disconnect both the transmitter and receiver from AC power for 30 seconds, then reconnect them.
