Car Radio Rca Output To Bluetooth Speakers

We wanted to extend our Stereo system to other parts of the house, and after some research, I settled on this BT device. I'm using the BTA30 on the zone 2 (RCA analog) output of an Onkyo TX-8555 receiver to transmit to bluetooth enabled speakers and sound bars around the house. Since the Onkyo does not have digital audio out, I used an analog to digital audio converter** to go from the RCA output on the receiver to the digital TOSLINK input on the BTA30. Setup was simple and straightforward, just remember that the BTA30 has a volume knob, so remember to turn it at least halfway - i had left it all the way down and was trouble shooting for several minutes until I noticed the knob position - turned it up and it worked! I am experiencing a wee bit of latency if I'm listening to the same music in both zones at the same time, but that's most likely because the speakers I'm transmitting to are not APTX capable. In all, it's not that big of an issue, just something to be aware of. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the BTA30 - and the B&H shopping and shipping experience is second to none! **If you don't have a digital output available, you will need an analog to digital audio converter that accepts RCA audio inputs and digital TOSLINK output. You could use the BH #GEATVDA to accomplish this.

The connectivity options for this are everything I needed. Bluetooth pairing is incredibly easy and now I can move the turntable to wherever people are, spin up some old vinyl just for fun and listen through my Sangean BT radio. Or I can move same radio from room to room, which makes kitchen work more enjoyable. Or, I can connect it easily to my old school preamp and stereo using the phono level output for more serious listening. Haven't tried the usb output to record as MP3s in my laptop, but I'm looking forward to getting some hard to find tunes from my record collection onto my phone.More ways and places to listen to music that I've collected several decades ago.

I am very happy with the little PTAU23. It gave life to the two small Bose desktop speakers.Alternatively I also use my Grado headphones. to hear max detail. I am driving it with the signal from satellite radio decoder, but it works as well using USB or analog computer output or CD player. The cables connected on the back are ready for either playback or recording. Moreover I also tried to connect recorder output to an old tube radio. I did not yet use mic input but as you can see there is plenty in this little box, and there is not much unnecessary stuff. well balanced little amplifier, adequate for a room listening,

Decided to get back into basic 2 channel stereo as my wave radio just couldn’t get it done. Took the plunge, picked up this receiver and two of the Sony 3 way bookshelf speakers. Wow the power and clarity from the Bluetooth streaming is amazing. Needless to say a CD player and a phono ( which each exceeded the price of the speakers and this receiver) were quickly added on. If your looking to get back into vinyl or just enjoy CDs or streaming to the Bluetooth you can’t go wrong with this receiver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use A LOT of Bluetooth Speakers. Between my car, my house, my garage I use all different types but this one .... has well made me decide to buy all Sony. They last a long time without needing to be charged. The only thing I'm frustrated with, is more a user error as it is a bit heavy.

A really punchy speaker for the size. Best quality Bluetooth speaker I’ve had. I take this in the car with me now as it’s better quality than the car speakers. Really fantastic piece of kit.

I have numerous Bluetooth speakers but this one is by far the best!

I use it in the car to connect the phone to the radio, very good product.

I was trying to connect my turntable to my radio with a speaker.  My turntable came with an RCA cable ending in two male plugs.  The manufacturer also supplied an RCA cable with a 3.5 mm plug at one end (which plugged into my radio) and two RCA female plugs at the other.  So far so good.  But the cable didnt reach far enough, and the only suitable extension cable I could find was a 10-foot RCA cable with two male plugs at either end.  Now how could I attach the male plugs to the male plugs coming out of my turntable?  The pair of Pearstone RCA to RCA female couplers proved to be the answer.  Everything works fine now.

I needed to connect the male RCA cable on my turntable to my Bose radio.  Trouble is that the cables that came with my turntable did not reach the radio.  The Pearstone cable was able to extend them.  I just needed to get a couple of female couples so that I could connect two male cables together.
