I have searched and searched, but I can't find what I am looking for. Maybe it doesn't exist..

I would like to connect my iPhone to a Bluetooth hub that would connect to my other Bluetooth enabled speakers. Does anyone know if a device like this exists?

Hey Leo,

Samsund have one but I think it's only for their speakers:

The problem I think is that Bluetooth was only designed to connect with one device at a time.

These people tried it but I don't know how far they got:

Alternatively, I don't know if this app would work:

Thanks Michael, but it is not what I am looking for.

I want the unit to receive the music from my phone, and the split it into multiple Bluetooth signals that connects to my A2, BL15, and the bluetooth receiver on my Bs3000.

That would give me some kind of multi room setup. Kinda like AirPlay, just with Bluetooth.

This one will stream to two Bluetooth devices. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NMPKVRM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1432720771&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=Miccus&dpPl=1&dpID=31n%2BV2V6LkL&ref=plSrch

So I could use a jack-splitter from a Bluetooth receiver, into aux on the BS3000 and into the Miccus AX4. Then the audio will stream with Bluetooth from my iPhone into three systems at once. Any audio delay on the A2 and BL15 would be acceptable since they will be in different rooms.

@Leo

The device, that you linked to, can handle streams from two devices, but it can not output to two (or more) devices.

I know of no bluetooth based device, that work the way, you ask for.

The streaming protocol of BT is not capable of such - you will need something, that works within a (wireless) home network.

B&O is working on that Smile but you'll need udgraded devices/with a new chip generation.

Sonos as their way of doing it - many other companies are struggling to get a working solution on the market - BlueSound, Samsung etc etc...... Apple does it with AirPlay from iTunes.....

Wrong link. Here is the correct one.

This can transmit to two speakers/headphones.

Well, well, never heard of such a device.

Isn't a hub in the sense of receiving one stream and sending it to two devices, but seems to work.

Worth a test IMO - I still wonder how that will sound!

BUT - would you really want to have that thingy stick out of your iPhone all the time???

I have an idea for a build of different units.

But I have a fault in my BV7 that causes it to play sound through the speakers at the same time as using headphones Wink

My bv7 does that unless I pull the jack out about 1 to 2mm, then it goes to just the headphones. It's the jack, not the bv at fault I think.

For the use of the "party stream", I don't cafe about sound quality. For real listening it would be listening from cd or vinyl. For multi-room, sound quality does not matter..
