Bluetooth Adapter The Source

High Quality, Great Sound, Simple to connect a Bluetooth source and operate.

Because it is advertised to support high-resolution audio, I installed an Audioengine B1 Premium Bluetooth Music receiver in my stereo system--even though skeptical of the product's advertised ability to deliver high-resolution audio--particularly with Bluetooth wireless connectivity--which most obsessed audiophiles believe inherently degrades the listening experience. Although the Audioengine B1 supports audio delivered by any Bluetooth-supported source, I am using it primarily to receive music streamed from the Internet with an Amazon Echo device as the wireless source. Much to my surprise, the Audioengine B1 performed completely as advertised with the audio sounding transparent to the source--and quite near CD-player quality!!

This device turns any 3.5mm stereo into a Bluetooth source. Pairing this device with my Pixel Buds was painless. I bought two on these, one paired to my Buds, one paired to my wife's Buds.

You may want to consider a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones rather than this. They are harder to loose and more convenient.

Very useful adapter for laptop w/o Bluetooth. Easy to install, and works great.

Recently purchased a spotlight (ETC Source Four Jr.) and it came with the yoke and a clamp for hanging the light but not an adapter to attach to the Matthews Stand that I had. This adapter worked great for the attachment to the stand - very stable and secure while still allowing to turn the light as needed. Confident that it won't let my light fall off and start a fire, which is a great place to be in.

My Sonos Beam soundbar is first generation and doesn’t have WiFi and I did not want long Ethernet cabling to hook it up. That means I chose to not use internet connection to my beam. So, my solution was to get the adapter and use the TV optical out for my audio source. I also needed more than one optical source so I purchased a one in and three out powered optical splitter. For me this arrangement is perfect as I now can use my subwoofer optionally or just my soundbar, or my wireless headphones. The volume of the beam is adjusted with a remote which I purchased. I am satisfied with this adapter which converts optical audio into an HDMI output. Using an HDMI cable between the adapter and my Beam was the finishing touch. This item is recommended if you want to go the route I chose.

We used our GoPro as a live video source during a two-day corporate event. Once we had the camera up, we just forgot about it and left it on. It stayed up and going for two days without issue. But one thing, I believe there's a backdoor accessory for this. Probably a good idea to buy it. I didn't, because I had a stock open Go-Pro backdoor, but the left side of it covers the slot where the power adapter goes into the camera. I had to saw the left side of the door off - so that the adapter would fit.

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

Lumix advertises using an AC adapter with this. I think any PD source will work. I have two intended uses for this. The first is while I am familiarizing myself with my new camera (GH7 this time around), I am constantly going through menus and screens. In the past, I had to keep replacing/recharging the internal battery while the screen was always active. The second use will be for extended video recording out in the field where I need the battery to last longer than my SSD or CFexpress. Remember, not any USB-C cable will work.
