Topic: Mixer vms2 to 2 Bluetooth enabled speakers (ld maui)

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I want to connect two Bluetooth (stereo) speakers (LD Systems maui) one for left stereo and one for right stereo, and looking for community comments.

I have a vms2 which has balanced xlr output and also stereo phono jacks.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01J14SOMG/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Im considering the above link which allows for two Bluetooth devices to be contracted, but I believe that they will only give me stereo left and stereo right.

I could buy two of these and then connect lh + rh but my worry is would it when i try to pair, how do i know what is linking up???

Why is there no simple solution to this, surely there is something out there that allow from a mixer to Bluetooth speakers??

Any suggestions?

I would recommend to stay away from bluetooth speakers
BT has built-in latency, so there will be a delay between what VDJ sends out (and what your headphones tells you) and what the speakers play - the speakers may even be out of sync
So you can only use BT speakers IMO if you don't plan to mix - like if you just want to play something of you phone

Why have you posted your question twice? I've just read the same thing in another thread. Please avoid doing so in future.

As Klaus says, Bluetooth is really only for consumer use, where the delay & quality aren't so important. Balanced cables are the best way of connecting to powered speakers.

Why are you even considering wireless? If you're planning to have your speakers a long way off, then you're going to run into other issues too. If you explain what you're tyrying to do and why, it would help others to find you a solution.

If running cables is an issue then perhaps an RF solution would be more appropriate. I haven’t researched this at all but Klaus is right and Bluetooth introduces significant latency.

You could theoretically use Bluetooth to a separate room where synchronization with the main room doesn’t matter but again the speakers may not be synced with each other. And range would likely be an issue.

Bluetooth is really a consumer technology, at least in this application.
