Make your speakers Bluetooth compatible with the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter. This should work on any device and makes the speakers bluetooth compatble. I paid around $30 from Officeworks but prices have gone up to around $45 now.

You can connect up to two devices so I have my laptop and phone connected to my Z906 speakers.

This tutorial/review sums it up well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Am9psYGt2E

    OP do you have to switch something on to repair? I have a cheap shenzhen bluetooth adapter but i have to press and hold the power button to turn it on instead of just being able to connect any time.

    • Sergeant Salami on 22/05/2015 - 14:11

      It requires power. Once it is paired it should automatically pair when bluetooth is turned on, on the device you're connecting to. This is the case for up to two devices.

      Eg. When I walk into my room, it automatically connects to the bluetooth adapter.

        Why don't you list every item in the dick smith store seperately
        It's a discount because of the same code

          i agree but it seems that this is how it works , especially dick smith, coles and woolies. if you see a real deal you post. To be honest most items with only 15% off is not a huge deal at all but this seems to be half the price of everyone else.

          still think they should all go on the one post though.

        • OrbDaggerZ on 24/05/2015 - 00:06

          @PVA:
          I agree, too many different posts with same/similar discounts/codes on a range of items.
          It gets a bit confusing & easy to miss a stand out item/price, I think it would be easier to combine some of the posts.

          Anyway, thanks to ALL the people who posted these (15%/ebay) deals.
          Hard part now is try and not buy something from all these posts/deals.

    Or get a USB powered one for less than 5 bucks delivered from other ebay stores.

    • seb on 22/05/2015 - 14:28

      Where do you get the USB power from? This plugs into a power point and then connects via an audio lead to an amplifier or other device so that the speaker has the same functionality as a Bluetooth speaker. Handy for playing Smartphone audio via the home sound system, or even laptop audio without having the laptop connected via cable to the sound system.

        Where do you get the USB power from?

        From one of the many USB chargers everyone has in a drawer somewhere.

        Handy for playing Smartphone audio via the home sound system, or even laptop audio

        Most newer home sound systems and laptops have USB ports that can power this, so you don't need an extra 240V socket.
        But even if you have to buy a USB power supply, they are dirt cheap. (except at DSE of course.) Even a $15 phone at coles has one included.
        USB power is often available when mains is not, e.g. in the car.

    Is there any wireless adapter that can turn speakers to Sonos?

    • bargaino on 22/05/2015 - 14:50

      You can use a bluetooth transmit/receive pair as a cheap alternative to Sonos for your powered rear speakers.

      • superforever on 22/05/2015 - 15:02

        I want something that can control and stream to any speakers within the wireless network. Basically like Sonos but with my existing speakers.

        I have HiFi speaker, Surround speakers, bluetooth speakers but a bit hard to select which speaker to stream to .

          @Arvs:

          Thanks looks good but $149 for just one adapter a bit too expensive.

          http://www.pure.com/au/product/jongo-a240-vl-62148/

          Pure Jongo A2 seems do the same thing and cheaper but not very sure how is the app whether it can control multiple devices on the same network.

          Actually is there anyway to control multiple bluetooth speaker in one app?

          That may works.

        • superforever on 22/05/2015 - 15:46

          @Arvs:

          Look like only Airplay or WiFi can select and stream to multiple devices. Not bluetooth.

        • bargaino on 22/05/2015 - 15:55
          +1

          Bluetooth is only intended for the same room.You want wifi.
          For a whole-house stereo solution, look atUPnP as adam said, or Apples airplay. You don't need to buy Apple hardware - lots of gadgets and open-source software support it.
          A raspberry Pi sounds good.

      • DisasterArea on 22/05/2015 - 15:30

        oooh - how do you do that, and what's the range like?

        I'm looking for a way to send stereo output from zone2 of my amp to another amp in the house. I've somewhat underprovisioned my cat5, so I need to either encode the audio to data, and push it across the network then unencode at the other end (I was looking at a pair of raspberry pi's and DACs) - or something else.

        Would a pair of Bluetooth in a send>receive pair make it through a couple of walls?

    • SickDmith on 22/05/2015 - 15:12

      Sonos is a hardware music player.
      I haven't seen any open source Sonos emulator. (It doesn't mean it doesn't exist though).

      The best you can do is to add Sonos Connect or Sonos Connect Amp to your speakers. But they are not cheap for some reason.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2015 - 19:27

      yes its called the Sonos connect AMP

  • japik on 22/05/2015 - 14:57

    Will this share sound via 3.5mm headphones jack of tv to bluetooth speakers?

  • bym on 22/05/2015 - 15:07

    I just bought one and have it hooked up to my AV receiver. For some reason when I am streaming music from my phone the subwoofer doesn't kick in. With the phone plugged directly into the 3.5mm jack it's fine though.

    Any ideas?

    • Sergeant Salami on 22/05/2015 - 15:28

      Make sure the cable on the back of the little box is pushed in all the way until you hear a click.

      • bym on 22/05/2015 - 15:34

        Good one. That did the trick I was scared to push it all the way lol.

  • Tasmaniac on 22/05/2015 - 15:17

    Forgive my ignorance but wouldn't a chromecast be just as effective?

    • Ads on 22/05/2015 - 15:27
      +3

      You can't connect via bluetooth to the chromecast (unless I am mistaken) and you will need software to make it work if you could (e.g plex). This only needs bluetooth and the device's ability to push streaming audio to it (which bluetooth audio devices will already have). Its just simpler.

    • DisasterArea on 22/05/2015 - 15:27
      +1

      For a very specific use…
      I.e. if you have an amp with HDMI input, and a chromecast in the back, then you can just upload your entire music catalogue with the google play music manager and then use a phone/tablet to cast a playlist.

      It's not the same as being able to fling audio to anything "Bluetooth" , but it's close, and I like it.

      However… My amp has zone 2 - zone 3 output but I have no way to wire that off to another room, due to skimping on cabling.

      If two of these can work in a send>receive arrangement I could send zone2 > LBT > LBT> amp2 ? — assuming that the range can manage 5m/2 walls?

    • downforce on 22/05/2015 - 16:01

      It works differently, you connect to your Chromecast via WiFi and the app requires Chromecast support.

      This is like sending your devices audio to any BT unit, e.g. a BT speaker or a car BT headunit.

      Given that Spotify have given the finger to Google Cast, I"m tempted to get one of these so I can send my Spotify to my Amp. Of course I'd rather have been able to Chromecast it!

  • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2015 - 19:29

    guys normal bluetooth quality is crap. What you need to look for is APTX BT which is lossless and supported by Android/Apple. Google Arcam Miniblink for a similar product with this BT

    • bym on 22/05/2015 - 19:31

      Yes but it's $190.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2015 - 19:33

        I dont know about you but I would prefer to listed to no music at all then BT with hissing and crackling.
        Im sure harman kardon have one for $80 called the BT10 which does the same with APTX.

      guys normal bluetooth quality is crap.

      Yes, which is why this doesn't use "normal Bluetooth".

      What you are thinking about is probably one of the Headset protocols, which are the most common and usually used for phones. These are horrid.

      Most normal human beings with standard audio gear would not be able to fault the high quality A2DP protocol since it provides similar quality to 320kbps MP3, etc.

      Yes, APTX is certainly better but it's debatable if most people could hear the difference. And there is the issue that the source device needs to be running APTX or there is no advantage.

      In the other comment (above) you said:

      I would prefer to listed to no music at all then BT with hissing and crackling.

      Well, I've never EVER heard hissing or crackling over any decent Bluetooth audio connection. You must be running some seriously poor quality equipment if that is happening.

      The main issue with A2DP is that it is lossy compression, so just like from CD to MP3, there is some loss of crispness and clarify (especially at the high end).

      Most kids now days don't even know what a tweeter is, and the crappy sub woofers and massively distorted bass tracks that they love are so muffled that it wouldn't matter what audio codecs were used (it'll still sound like shit).

  • bagachin on 23/05/2015 - 22:28

    Can anyone tell me what the difference is between this $25 receiver and this 5 bucks cheapo from ebay? The more expensive one has better sound quality and more stable connection I suppose?

      This one can be used on any speaker system. The ebay one needs to be plugged into a computer. Watch the review in my OP and you will get an idea of what it is for.
