your thoughts on wireless signal transmission.

I'm thinking of adding subwoofers (swarm principle) to improve the LF response in my room. I'm considering adding a couple of Rel No.25 subwoofers and saw that they can be equipped with their own (REL, 24 bit/48Khz) wireless transmitter(s?). If I would use cables, these would need to be 30 ft lengths, as my room is reasonably big. I have no idea what to expect when comparing to very good cables. Obviously costs of wireless are at a fraction of a set of good XLR cables (30 ft). Wireless transmission needs DAC I believe....and what about possible jitter.... Anyone can offer his experience/view.

Thanks,
Han

I have been running a Martin Logan sub wireless for some time now and see no downside.

My dilemma was that connecting the sub wired I had a nasty ground hum I could not get rid of.

So out of desperation I tried a wireless solution and it worked perfectly.

Would a wired solution perform better on a sub application?

It is possible but I look at it the same as wired vs wireless Ethernet, if you have a good solid wireless connection with no dropouts it should give very similar performance.
YMMV.
