I've installed these at work; they're brilliant for the speakers in the 'atriums'. Before I had installed them we suffered with masses of interference. Now, we've no problem at all!

 

I've also installed the timer ones on our Plasmas around site. Trying to prolong their life! hehe

I used it a lot when we watched videos at school. It’s also handy for turning off the football in a pub full of supporters! All hell breaks loose.
