MP3 music has become very popular over the last few years. The challenge has been in getting the music from the PC in the home office or study to the family room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. without undertaking a major effort in remodeling the home or running new wires all over the house. This has usually called for a professional A/V installer that cost a small fortune. Inexpensive wireless solutions sold over the Internet have proven less sanguine, unreliable and of poor quality at the best. More reliable and higher performance wireless solutions like TrueMusic™ have been a bit expensive and probably an overkill for MP3 quality music,MP3 Downloads,digital MP3,Online Music.

A customer's quest for a very low cost method to send his MP3 music to the family room stereo system led to the solution described here. For a reliable music distribution at low cost it had to operate on existing wires in the home. Luckily, the customer had standard cat3 wires for telephone to various rooms in the home. It was quickly realized that the only way to avoid new wiring was to use the existing telephone wires. Since only two of the four pairs in the cat3 were being used for the two telephone lines in the home, it left two unused pairs throughout the home that were not punched to any outlets. These unused pairs of cat3 wires were used by the TPA transmitter and receiver to send music around the home. The solution yielded a very high quality audio distribution over customer's existing cat3 telephone wires.
