Frequent sound dropouts
Like others have said, there are frequent sound dropouts. I have tried cycling through all of the channel settings, repositioning the units, orienting the antennas to multiple polarizations without success. Even in a line of site configuration with only 10 ft of separation, the signal frequently drops out (approximately 3 or 4 times per minute.

It works exactly as advertised.
I cannot believe that I'm the first person to buy or review this item, but here goes.I bought this to eliminate the hard-wire running from my Denon receiver to my BIC F12 sub. Note: you don't need a BIC to use this- it will work on anything with RCA jacks. I bought this (instead of the other "more reviewed" options) because I trust BIC and have had a great experience with them to date (I've had my F12 for years, and recently added the Acoustech PL-200 to my basement).Packaging: BIC clearly took notes from Apple. The product is packaged in very sturdy, very well suspended cardboard. Everything is very clearly labeled. If I had ONE complaint it would be that the top of the box fits too tightly...it was a chore getting it off.Accessories: BIC gives you every cable that you need to hook this up: a RCA "Y" cable (brings the single RCA subwoofer out on your receiver to dual RCA's) for both sides and a 3.5mm/RCA pair for both sides. Also provided are enough adhesive velcro strips to suspend a VW Beetle, intended so you can hang it anywhere that works for you (I placed mine on the back of my subwoofer, out of sight).Setup: Stupid easy. Plugged it in, made sure they were both on the same channel, powered up. Both sides can run off USB power, which was nice: The transmitter is plugged into my Denon receiver for power. One less wall wort!Functionality: My sub is about 10 feet away from my receiver. There is zero lag (according to the Audyssey calibration on my Denon) introduced by adding this to the mix. Bass is clear and solid before. Auto On/Off on my sub functions properly. I've got my house covered by enterprise class wifi, and although the more reviewed brands had issues with wifi, I have not experienced any issues with the BIC.Summary: Don't hesitate to buy this.

Flawless Operation
I purchased the Wireless Transmitter/Receiver to remotely connect my BIC Acoustech PL-200 II Subwoofer. The setup was fairly intuitive and simple. It has performed flawlessly since installation.As recommended for placement of the subwoofer, after installation of the unit, I initially placed the subwoofer at my predominate listening position, then sat on the floor in various locations to determine the most optimal locations for the subwoofer. This would have been awkward at best without the unit.Since my wife wanted to hide as much equipment as possible, I was able to fit the subwoofer in a crevice approximately 12 feet away from the Home Entertainment Center on the other side of a fireplace. The unit has had no problems transmitting through the fireplace and also no interference from a nearby router operating at 5GHz.

True Low Latency At A Low Price
There are several competing Bluetooth 5.0 AptX transmitter/receiver systems in the market at similar prices that claim low latency. But nearly all of the competing products simply don't have sufficiently low latency if you want to use them with subwoofers are signal sources for wireless projection systems. Imagine a delay in bass or a delay in sound when watching dialogue in a movie.BIC's WTR-Sys really delivers in this respect. There is no noticeable time lag/sync issues at all. I simply connected one of the transmitter's RCA inputs to the subwoofer output of my receiver and the corresponding RCA output of the receiver unit to my subwoofer and left the channel switches on both units at their default channel.If there is one downside, it would be that if you leave the transmitter/receiver systems off for an extended period of time, the transmitter tends to go into a standby mode for several seconds at a time and stop transmitting. You can see this happen when its blue LED indicator turns off and flashes several times. The next time you feed a signal to it, it would turn on but it occasionally sends a signal to the receiver even when there is no signal. The result is that my subwoofer makes faint noises that sound similar to someone pully a cork from a bottle.On one occasion when the the transmitter was fed a signal after an extended period of not being used, the signal received by the receiver would not be complete, resulting in a somewhat distorted bass signal at a low volume. About a couple of minutes later, it would work as it should.In an nutshell, it works very well with the aforementioned quirks. If you can accept that or simply turn both units off when you don't use them, then the BIC transmitter/receiver system could be considered well-nigh perfect. Hence, my one-star deduction.

Functional, Simple, Cost Effective
I used this product to make the connection between my Sony receiver and my BIC America F12 powered sub. Packaging was great although there were no directions in the package I was able to install this in under 20 minutes with success. Pairing was automatic as the dip switches that control channel selection for the wireless link were already mirrored on both units from the factory. There is no noticeable signal lag meaning when my bass hits it synchronizes perfectly with the drummers movements while I stream YouTube, etc. I am very pleased as before I had a cabled set up and was testing my subwoofer with the cable. Now that I have the wireless installed to replace the cable I seem to have the exact same quality as the shielded cable was producing. Nice job on making a great product that a home owner can install easily! I would recommend for anyone that needs to establish a connection to a powered subwoofer and it is too difficult or impractical for you to run cable.
