The X Rocker Universal Wireless Kit - Cut The Cord & Add Range

If you've been tired of sitting too close to your TV in your gaming chair, or tripping over the clutter of audio cables between the chair and your console, you might be considering a wireless x rocker gaming chair.

But you may not need to.

You can turn any chair into a wireless one with The X Rocker Universal Wireless Kit from Ace Bayou.

How it Works

The kit comes with 4 main items: a transmitter, a receiver, and 2 sets of audio cables. You will have to buy batteries for the transmitter and receiver.

Setting it up is easy.

First, you use a set of audio cables to connect the transmitter to your console.

Then, you use the other set of cables to connect the receiver to the chair.

Once these are set up, you tune them to the same frequency via a 3 position switch. Turn them on, and you're good to go!

The transmitter will convert the sound to the set radio frequency and sends it to the receiver. The receiver then translates the radio signal back into sound for the chair. It works just as if you've connected the chair and gaming console with wires.

Other Wireless Solutions

This wireless functionality is not exclusive to the X Rocker wireless transmitter kit. Wireless transmitters and receivers are actually a common device.

Searching online for "wireless audio transmitter"will give you several useful results. You'll find smaller Bluetooth dongles with 3.5 mm plugs, as well as larger, more powerful audio and video transmitters with RCA cables.

The important thing to remember with these solutions is that you select one with the correct ports for your chair.

Most of these solutions, however, are relatively expensive. This is the main benefit of getting the X Rocker brand over many others. It does the job inexpensively — not to mention it matches the aesthetics of your chair.

Another solution to add some distance to your gaming chair from the console is to buy longer audio cables. This certainly is not as convenient as the wireless solution, but is probably the most inexpensive.

Buying The Wireless Kit Online

If you've been looking for this wireless kit online, you've already noticed that it's either out of stock just about everywhere you look, or that somebody is selling it on Ebay at an exorbitant rate.

That's because Ace Bayou decided to discontinue the product several months ago.

But, not to worry. Reports online say that they've recently decided to start manufacturing the product again — they just haven't made it available to any other retailers yet.

Just send an email to the service department at Ace Bayou, and they will get your order started for you.

Conclusion

The X Rocker Universal Wireless Kit is a great and inexpensive alternative to buying a wireless X Rocker gaming chair. But you also have other options.
