Wireless Speakers For Analog Receiver

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.

We decided to go wireless and use Sonos to take away clutter and facilitate streaming and different music playback options in different rooms at the same time. We used to have an Onkyo 2 zone receiver running two amazing outdoor Bose speakers (prewired in our home) and a Bose Accousitmass 10 sorround system in our family room. To play the speakers outside we had to play the same thing in the Family room. It sounded good though. We replaced the Onkyo and indoor Bose surround with a Sonos Soundbar and we are 110% happy with that. We also bought a Sonos Amp to run the outdoor speakers. Now we can play different things in the different areas and the sound quality is phenomenal. The amp has more power and clarity than the old Onkyo receiver. I know this is a really expensive option, but for us, it was completely worth the investment!

Ordered the wireless speakers, thinking maybe it would increase the volume over the in TV speakers that I was never really happy with. Had also used my receiver and a sound bar, and again

This is a truly useful item for setting up powered speakers on the road. Usually I place the powered speakers close to an outlet in the corner of the stage and/or hall. This 6' length is perfect for such a setting. In addition I use Alto wireless receivers to cut down on XLR cables - this multiple outlet allows me to power the speaker, the wireless receiver and a DJ light all at the same time. What's really cool is - when the speaker, or light or receiver is on, an LED indicator light lets you know something is turned on. When everything is turned off, the LED light goes off too. So I know when I've forgotten to turn of the speaker at the end of the night. This outlet is built tough and can take the abuse of the road - I highly recommend them for powered speakers!

This is the perfect ideal adapter for using active speakers in a wireless capacity. Specifically, I use the Sennheiser wireless systems to send the signal to the speakers remotely. This adapter is for the needed for the Sennheiser transmitter/receiver packs for providing constant power verses using batteries. I hide the transmitter/receiver packs on top of each speaker out of site from the public and being able to plug them in to the same cord as the active speaker.

I would like it if they could sell just the receiver so I could have two wireless signals.

We have been “making due” with an analog audio receiver in our media room for too long. Adapters and cables running everywhere and constantly swapping this cord to that device and back again. The Sony STR-DH590 has been a game changer! Audio and video for all our devices plug directly into this receiver and eliminated all of our adapters and extra cables. My wife said, “This is a game changer!” Wish I’d bought this years ago!

This receiver permits use of bluetooth and analog inputs. Just what we needed to replace an old receiver. Excellent sound quality with the rest of our system.

It does exactly what I need. I have a high end stereo receiver and speakers connected to my iMac computer analog audio output (headphone) jack. The receiver also is connected to several other analog audio sources. I have had persistent issues with hum in the audio from the computer. I tried all sorts of things, floating grounds, reversing plugs etc and nothing worked. putting the HE-18 in line with the computer completely eliminated the hum with no adverse side effects to the audio quality. I really appreciate the flexibility of all the various input and output connections. I now have a convenient extra port where I can plug in headphones for private listening when needed. (Unlike the idiots at Apple who put the headphone jack on the back of the iMac. What were they thinking?) The engineer who designed the HE18 deserves a lot of credit. He really did his homework.

I bought this to capture narration for yoga videos. So far, it's worked flawlessly. The transmitter connects instantly to the receiver and the signal has never dropped out. That said, transmitter/receiver have not been more than 12 feet apart in my usage. When plugged into a computer, the USB receiver was quickly recognized, and did not require installation of a special driver. I also used the 1/8 output jack to capture analog audio directly into a camcorder. (Note: 1/8 audio cable is NOT included.) It's nice to have the flexibility of both analog and digital capture, without additional equipment. How does it sound? For spoken-word capture, it's very good. The sound is clear and intelligible. However, I wouldn't recommend this for singers. Neither the frequency response nor the dynamic range are suited for vocal music. But that's not this device's intended application, so I can't fault it in that regard. For DIY content creators who need a to capture spoken word narration and want the convenience of a hands-free, wireless solution, I think this unit is an outstanding value.
