A friend has asked me to assist with an install of ceiling speakers on a porch. Currently, they have some nice 6.5 or 8" ceiling speakers, plenty of audio hardware to run it/switch it, etc.
The installation is, IMO a bit tricky in that there is spray in foam insulation which is concealing the rafters in this section of house. The roof line is also very low so that parts of this area are rather filled with expanding foam.
The speakers in this area are only going to be driven from TV as source on a news channel basically 24/7. The TV is a nice Samsung unit with wireless and Bluetooth tech. I am considering rather than trying to bring wires down in the chimney chase/stone front to utilize the Bluetooth speakers instead. In my professional capacity I have never installed permanent "structural speakers" as it were, in the ceiling which were wireless. I know they will still have to be run back to power and that aspect would be much easier than getting the required wiring from the TV to a receiver (already on hand) and wires back out to the speakers via the chimney.
I have found several sets and just in a general way was curious to know a few things. If using this general type of connection, is it a pair to the TV and forget it type thing?
Is there easy capability to pair them to other devices?
