Hello Everybody - Blue Tooth is the problem here! He has a Blue Tooth Speaker. They are fine to feed music to from ones iPhone in the room one is currently in, but that is where it ends unless one is going to carry the BT Speaker AND iPhone around together to every room because RANGE is the issue with Blue Tooth. WiFi solves this problem as does Squeezebox. He owns a Baby, just buy the battery for it and carry it around, Issue Solved! If he just HAS to use the BT Speaker, then buy the BT Transmitter off of Amazon and plug it into his Duet Receiver and play his music from the Receiver with the BT Transmitter plugged into it so the BT Speaker has a strong signal. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can I connect Squeezebox(es) to bluetooth speakers......?
"I would like to be able carry a speaker into parts of my home where I don't have a Squeezebox. I have Duets, Booms and Radios. " Put a battery pack in the Radio, put it to Sync, and carry it. I take mine all over, including out to work in the yard and while repairing something in the garage or the shed. Now all you need is good enough WiFi.

I have *Duets*, Booms and *Radios.* You already have the solution listed in your post, it's called a Baby/Squeezebox Radio! Wifi is always better then Bluetooth. Range is going to be a major problem with Bluetooth IE the Squeezebox, Bluetooth TX, and Bluetooth RX are all going to be in the same room anyway so why bother. I can walk all over the house and out in my yard with a SB Radio as long as it sees my WiFi network. You also have a Duet so the Transmitter is connected to your WiFi Network so you could plug that Bluetooth Transmitter into the Duet TX and carry it around with the Bluetooth Speaker system (or at least have it within 20 feet) and that would make your Bluetooth Speaker System portable as long as the Duet Transmitter is in range of your WiFi Network. Lastly several companies make stereo TX/RX that work in the 440MHz/900MHz bands (whole house plus yard coverage). The down side to this is that the main unit will be at a central location with your choice of Squeezebox, but you would have to carry their 900MHz receive with the TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter plugged into it to rebroadcast to the Bluetooth Speakers. . . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This will work by using a SB device's audio output to convert it to a bluetooth signal - this should be receivable by any bluetooth (both battery and powered) speakers (ranging from a few dollars to 100s of dollars) - but bt is limited to a few meters and is severely compromised by walls, etc. Touch, Logitech Radio, Logitech UE Radio, O2 Joggler + SqpOS UPnPBridge - 2 paired Sonos Play1 speakers; Rocki - Sony SRS-BTM8 speaker; Pioneer WX-SMA1 speaker; - PURE One Flow internet radio: PURE Jongo S3x ; Jongo T2; Libratone Zipp Castbridge - Chromecast 1 + Chromecast Audio AirplayBridge - Loewe Airspeaker SB Player - Fire TV castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108058 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It really helps when you give the Forum ALL the information you can IE what exactly are you trying to do and why? For example, how are you going to drive the Speaker? This device isn't going to drive even a bookshelf speaker. So the speakers will have to have an AMP or be Powered Speaker both of which need power so you are going to have wires anyway so why bother with Bluetooth? Now if its for a pair of rear speakers away from the main system and you don't want to run wired but you will have power over at the rear position then that will work again as long as you use self-powered Speakers or an Amp with Speakers (but note they will most likely not be in sync with the mains if that is the object.
