At least thats what I think of, as I see my parents' hi-fi setup in my mind.

One common link between the changing system - wires.

This is a massive convenience for audio listeners but how would it fare in a more creative capacity?

Well, we can actually explore that question, thanks to audio company AIAIAI.

Studio production gone wireless?

Times have moved on however and more people are able to make music from a single laptop nowadays.

First of all though, what is latency?

And it tends to be much more obvious in video streaming.

Could the AIAIAI UNIT-4 wireless monitor speakers be the future of music production?

AIAIAI says the UNIT-4 speakers have an ultra low-latency time of 16ms, making them ideal for music production.

Theres only one problem, and its name is Wi-Fi.

With wires, this isnt a problem.

You just can’t beat wired, bookshelf speakers

The same can be said for listening too.

Vinyl played like a dream and CDs began with ease.

The only big problems came when the speaker cable to the speaker itself was loose.

Give me a wired setup over wireless any day.

Final thoughts

Now, its not to say Im completely anti-wireless.

Im also mightily impressed with the sound quality Ive heard from some wireless speakers.

But, I am happy, and hopeful, to be proven wrong.

If AIAIAI can pull off its goals with the UNIT-4, then Im all for it.
