ElmerJFudd Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I have a few rehearsal and gig scenarios where it would be more than convenient to be able to amplify music from iOS device or laptop without needing a 3.5mm cable. And without needing to carry a redundant monitor for keyboards. Any recommendations on a make/model that now has Bluetooth input included?

Karl Schmeer Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Don't know how they sound but Gemini has this: Blue Tooth Monitor There are others but its a place to start. MPCX, RD-800, Vsynth, Matrix 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Clark Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Don't JBL EONs have bluetooth?

Karl Schmeer Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Don't JBL EONs have bluetooth? Yes, but I believe it's only for adjusting the DSP/EQ and other settings. I don't think you can stream audio from your mobile device, like you can with the Gemini. MPCX, RD-800, Vsynth, Matrix 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Could add something like This to any powered speaker.

cphollis Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Bluetooth mixers that can handle Bluetooth audio as an input? All sorts of cost-effective options out there. Not aware of self-powered speakers that do this, however. Maybe in the next wave? Want to make your band better? Check out "A Guide To Starting (Or Improving!)

ElmerJFudd Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks, helpful. Good suggestions. Yes, we saw a few Pro speakers with the Bluetooth audio streaming as a new feature. But not brands we are really more familiar with. I'm sure there will be more come winter NAMM. Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Beaumont Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My Turbosound iP1000s have bluetooth sound and for controlling its internal mixer. I really like these speakers, best sound purchase I have made in a long time.

ElmerJFudd Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 I also just stumbled on a Radial solution. http://www.radialeng.com/images/btpro/bt-pro-34.png Bluetooth reception to 12 meters (40 feet!) Dual balanced XLR outputs to connect to PA system Built-in headphone amp for troubleshooting Isolation transformers to eliminate buzz and hum Ground lift switch Stereo to mono switch Powered via mini USB (5V) ...you don't have to worry about someone hijacking the audio stream with their own Bluetooth device - once a device is paired with the BT-Pro, a passcode is required before audio can be streamed. Anyone figured out if the Turbosound or Alto offer a locked Bluetooth stream like the Radial box to keep wise guys from jumping onto your monitor? Generally is it possible to kick someone off of a bluetooth stream once one has been established by yourself? Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Don't JBL EONs have bluetooth? Yes, but I believe it's only for adjusting the DSP/EQ and other settings. I don't think you can stream audio from your mobile device, like you can with the Gemini. That is correct, only for their app to adjust EQ.

Generally is it possible to kick someone off of a bluetooth stream once one has been established by yourself? The only way that could happen is if you put it in pairing mode. My phone is paired to mine and my ipad is too. The phone can lock out the iPad and vice-versa I have also seen the phone kick the iPad off. Put an unpaired phone cannot. So someone in the audience would not be able to do that unless you put it in pairing mode.

Morrissey Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The Fender Fortis powered speakers have Bluetooth functionality. I don't have experience with them but the specs are decent and they appear to be on good sale right now (e.g., $300 off regular street price).
