Hi

Airplay on my Beolit is just not reliable and I am looking for a rechargeable Bluetooth receiver to improve connnectivity with my iphone  I want to use it in the garden so it can’t be plugged into power

Can anyone recommend one that’s not too expensive?

Sounds good. Is there a combo available or do I buy the receiver and battery pack separately. Any suggestions would be welcome

thanks

I'm not familiar with the Beolit 12, but on my Beolit 15 I use the USB port on it to power a small WiFi streamer that's also plugged into the line input. If you can find a BT dongle that can be driven by USB levels of power that would be an option. I have a hard time imagining that a BT dongle really needs a much power.

Hi Leosgonewild

Thanks for the heads up. So do you have a Bluetooth receiver and battery pack recommendations?

leosgonewild:

Powering a device via the usb on the 12 and feeding the six input with said device usually results in noise.

Interesting, seems to work without noise on my 15. Go figure.
