I tried to drive a blue tooth speaker from my receiver line out using a BT transmitter, but signal apparently too weak. Will this work?

I'm guessing no, this won't fix that problem. If your Bluetooth signal is weak to begin with then it may also be dropping out, i.e. missing packets, so amplifying a weak, dropping out signal would result in poor fidelity anyway. If the Bluetooth speaker is already powered (I'm guessing it is), then adding more power isn't really necessary and may result in distortion (of a poor signal to begin with). So do some tests: move your BT speaker close to your BT transmitter and try to improve the signal. If that works then you know it's about BT signal strength and not amplification.

It won't work as a Bluetooth transmitter, but it will work fine if you connect it between the earphone output of your device and the speaker
1783297
No, this will not help a weak Bluetooth signal, you need to get a different Bluetooth device.
1783298
If what you mean is that the line level is too low for the bluetooth transmitter then yes, this would fix that. It's possible that the line level out from your receiver is much lower than what the bluetooth transmitter requires. This will not make your Bluetooth transmit transmit further as some other answers seemed interpret was your question.You might also see if the line level can be configured in your receiver. You might be able to switch it to a hotter signal.

I don't know blue tooth, but it might be helpful to remember that the TCC is just an audio preamplifier. It takes little signals from preamplifiers and boosts them up to another 35db. I use mine to boost an IF signal from my shortwave radio. For your reference, without my TCC, I can hear the signal, but it is way too low. With the TCC in the signal path, it boosts it up to the "correct" level. I have the volume knob on the TCC turned to 95% of full volume. It works just fine for me. I hate the lack of specs they give on equipment these days. For example, they don't usually mention input and output impedances. These things matter, but I took a chance and it worked out fine. Good luck. I don't know blue tooth, but it might be helpful to remember that the TCC is just an audio preamplifier. It takes little signals from preamplifiers and boosts them up to another 35db.

I am not technically gifted but I see no reason it wouldn't work. I plug the transmitter into the phone jack on an MP3 player and pair it with a Bose Bluetooth speaker and it works beautifully. There is never any distortion. I love being able to hold a Bose quality stereo system in the palm of my hand. Your application sounds the same and should work if your home theater system is Bluetooth capable. I would try it.

Yes, BT works fine, is the only function that works, the rest of the system is garbage... don't buy it. Spend a few bucks more but get something good. My system broke down after 6 months. No spare parts, in summary... stay away from Boss.

Well, to do that, it would have to be within the radius of the Bluetooth reach from the speaker. I've found it to be around 30 feet. I'll look and see about externally connecting wires when I get home.

Technically you need a Bluetooth *Transmitter*. Not a Bluetooth Receiver. Sometimes the description will say TX for transmitter and RX for receiver.It should work with any Bluetooth Transmitter, but try to get one that is Bluetooth Version 4.0. Then you'll know it's relatively new.

Try it and see. If the blue tooth interfers with signal it wont work. Read the paper that came with the parts.

Yes, you can transmit stereo audio to a Bluetooth receiver. However in my experience, the signal doesn't really go further than 15 feet or so.

use a good splitter - if you have strong signals it will work, if not try a amplifier.

Hello,Thanks for your feedback. This amplifier will not work for bluetooth, it is strictly a booster for wifi signals. For example, it will work on a wifi router with an removable external antenna, once it has the right type of connector on it of course. Hope I have been able to help.

If the receiver has terminals that accept flying/free leads from the speaker wire, it will work

Actually, this nifty little box is a Bluetooth RECEIVER, not a transmitter. The only audio connector on it is LINE OUT, which you would plug into your stereo system amplifier. That would permit you, for example, to play music on your smartphone (via Bluetooth) through your audio system. What you're looking for is a Bluetooth TRANSMITTER, which has a LINE IN connector, and broadcasts to your speakers, which contain Bluetooth receivers. Although I haven't tried it, the GadgetZone DBPower Portable Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter/Adapter Dongle here on Amazon looks like it might be a good choice. This is a little black box that plugs into a minijack (such as a headphone jack) and broadcasts to Bluetooth devices. It could be used for your application, but you might have to get an adapter to plug it into your old stereo system. Note that most devices (probably all) like this don't connect to speaker terminals -- they have to receive "line level" signals like those from an "audio out" jack or some headphone jacks. What you want to do is really very easy in principle, but your "old stereo" might not let you just plug and play without a little more fiddling. It depends on what kind of connections are available on the stereo.

2.1 according to Avantree. http://www.avantree.com/comparison/bluetooth-receiver-&-transmitter-comparison.html

Probably not. Most devices only allow bluetooth signals to stream in one direction.

I can connect to this bluetooth device to play music from my phone to an external stereo/speaker. But I cannot connect to another bluetooth receiver without ending the connection to the first.

FYI The Monoprice bluetooth transmitter/splitter will do this: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp;_id=10823&cs;_id=1082703&p;_id=9722&seq;=1&format;=2

Bluetooth transmits a digital stream. If your car is equipped with a BT receiver, there is a slight chance that the quality of sound will be better, but even in this case it will be a slight difference. In all other cases, such as FM, or first transmitting BT and then still using a cable, there will be a loss of quality - although in the latter case, it is probably miniscule. FM is the weak link.

Hi Aimee -- Brett is correct that with Bluetooth, it's one receiver to one transmitter. Perhaps down the road the technology will change, but for now you could use a splitter along with the included 3.5mm audio cable we include. You'd then have the advantage of being untangled in most cases but also have the option for a wired set up. Thank you.
