Excellent video. Answered all my questions. And without the use of the lousy graphics and poor attempts at humor that plague most homemade videos on technical subjects. Bravo!
Cool. I’ve never seen a unit that both receives and transmit Bluetooth. Good stuff.
You are the only one out of all the RUclips video that is using it as a transmitter like I want to do..... thank you
You left out the important part. Without a video screen how do you pair up the speaker
Yea, I didnt do that because of so many BT TX/RX variations. I believe the consumer can (AND SHOULD) read their own product manuals.
Thank you for your comments:)
Cheers..... BB23
Nice and easy explanation....thank you very much.
This was GREAT!! You explained it all so well!! Thank you! I'm using your link to get my adapter.
Awesome! Thank you!
interesting, great music too I am a fan of Billy Byou Jim Reeves....yeah!!
I have a question about bettering the quality of sound my speaker is producing. Records with more bass tend to make the sound really distorted or staticky. I have the volume on the receiver almost all the way down and use the Bluetooth speaker volume control. Could it be possible that my speaker just isn’t powerful enough?
But how do you connect this 2 devices there's no screen on .. did adapter automatic search .?
I need a audio receiver to receive Audio from Westinghouse TV optical source and than use a wired headset from the audio receiver in this case this BT transmitter device,because the audio on TV'S headphone jack is extremely low.I guess long story short,does this Micuss come with a headphone jack 3.5 mm audio out.Thanks!
So if I plugged this into the wall and the plugged it in to my amplifier say in the aux would it work? Or would I be better plugging it directly into the record player ?
how did you pair the speaker?
This is a great video, thank you!!! But I want to do this and send the sound to my speakers to the floor above to two bookshelf speakers(wired speakers). What do I need to get for those speakers to receive the blue tooth signal? Thank you!!!
The only thing i observed when using my turntable with a bluetooth transmitter is that there is delay in the sound like it takes time to transmit the sound im using the other brand but i don’t know if it has thesame result as this kind of transmitter
with this set up are you able to connect two separate bluetooth speakers to one transmitter?
I have two issues. I have an Onkyo Receiver that is not Bluetooth. I do have a complete house system that has 6 wall pad controls that is hooked up to the Onkyo. If I am on my deck, I want to use my cell phone or tablet to play Pandora or Sirius XM through the home receiver so I can listen to and change channels from the deck.
Second, same situation as above, but here I want to use an old Ipod with no bluetooth and be able to operate it outside and play it through the Onkyo and listen and change songs and playlists from the deck.
How many speakers can it connect to at any one time...?
You should show how to pair it up with the blue tooth speaker
Nice, I think this will do what I'm thinking of, & the Pioneer receiver I have is about the same vintage as your Technics. Another project repair, one channel is out. Thanks
Good luck on that repair and keep us posted... BB23
Thanks ! this helps a lot ! what about audio quality, I mean really ? Because LDAC is not really Hi-res audio (990 kbps for LDAC VS 9216 kbps for hi res audio)
So how do you enjoy Stereo sound? Will the transmitter send out left and right channel sound to two different speakers, how does that work? Tks
the Transmitter has stereo input and transmits a stereo signal. Weather you get stereo or mono depends on the type of your BT Speaker.
Would have been nice to the pairing process.
Is there anyway to show you pairing the devices?
That’s what I’ve been dying for!
Thank you for the video - Ive watched several on this topic and wondered if you can provide advice on if the speakers are wired as well- I have a pair of definitive wired (not RCA, but via speaker wire) speakers to my receiver - if I get the Miccus RTX for the receiver - and set onto transmit, and so to convert the speakers - is there a product that I could wire on the back of the speakers to receive? I will say that my soldering abilities are nil, so would like to discover if there is a way to make the receiver transmit to speakers - and instead of being wired, to have them be a wireless transmission. Thank you.
Hello.
Your speakers are going to need an Amplifier to make them work. So I would use the RTX as a receiver so you could play bluetooth music via your home stereo. Like using your Smart Phone to play your song list.....
I have a few videos on how to do this. ruclips.net/video/fdsJz_n62IU/видео.html
I have a small speaker by the hot tub which is approximately 50 feet from the tv. In the speakers description, it states it can receive up to 30 feet. Do you think this long range transmitter will allow it to work at that distance? I guess I'm asking if the advertised reception distance of a given device even matters if the transmitter is able to push its signal the entire distance needed?
I would try the RTX, it has the external antenna that gives it an edge over other smaller units with internal antennas. Miccus also has a extended range antenna ( amzn.to/3h6Qt6m )
that would give a little more distance. You have to keep in mind that the advertised range is not always set in stone, I have used BT units that do not come close to advertised range and I have had some go beyond the advertised range, also the walls and wiring will affect range, usually interfering and lowering range. BTW... Speakers can differ in receive range as well.
Its worth a try IMHO
Check out this video.... ruclips.net/video/4kF9q25fTUw/видео.html
i'm thinking about portable cassette player/walkman to bluetooth headphones ..on the go, do they make a more portable one of these devices?
Miccus does not have one that I know of, but you may want to look at one of these transmitters.. amzn.to/2CRvyE3
Thanks for watching... BB23
I'm looking at one of these for transmitting from an indoor stereo/turntable to outdoor bluetooth speakers in the backyard for my step-dad. Is it as simple as running cables from the receiver to the transmitter, and pairing to the speakers?
Yes it is that easy. May I suggest this new and updated MICCUS transmitter, it has even better range and more flexible for future installations like modern TVs.. Cheers
ruclips.net/video/pzQmQAydVfQ/видео.html
Hi,How do you pair up a Bluetooth speaker to the miccus transmitter,are there directions in the units box.
0
Now i know about the distance but im curious about the sound quality because if its exellent i will consider to have one because i really like the looks of it
SQ is very good on most of the better quality BT units nowadays. Try one, I think you will like it. Thanks for watching....BB23
Thanks for the video! Very helpful, although what I am truly looking for is a way to still have my analog speakers play inside while my bluetooth plays the same music outside. Do you know of any much device? Thanks!
Same. Did you ever find the solution?
Exactly what I want to do. Use my existing wired speakers inside the house, but have a speaker outside under the patio without the hassel of running speaker wires..
Me tooooo!!???
Hello, Question please... I moved and downsized, thereby leaving my speakers in the old house. I have my old receiver, cd player, and turntable here. I really don't want to buy speakers and set this all up again. I only want to listen to my old albums and cds once and awhile. If I do this transmitter, can I use my tv blue tooth speaker or my portable blue tooth and not have to buy speakers?
Thank you.
Using TV speakers won't work, TVs only put out a Bluetooth signal, so no.
This transmitter would work very well with a portable speaker.
May I suggest looking at these speakers, they are small and sound pretty good, oh best of all, very inexpensive. amzn.to/3aJHQvY (or the next size larger)
Then you don't have to mess around with the Bluetooth stuff. IMHO. Great question.... Cheers
Clear as a bell, very well explained... I will buy this... Thanks! What if I add a phono jack to my stereo, not the headphone jack which would cut off the main speakers, but hooked in line with my main speakers so I could listen to the main speakers and have extension speakers, my bluetooth speakers in another room playing at the same time, would there be latency? I guess I will find out...
The speaker output from the stereo amplifier would damage the RTX, (way to much power output). You could however add a line tap to the speaker outputs between the stereo and speakers. But yes, you will latency.
Also check out the new RTX PRO version. a bit more flexible and updated BT 5.0 ruclips.net/video/pzQmQAydVfQ/видео.html
It is a few $ more but a very nice device. Stay tuned, I will make a video on this unit showing how to hook it up to the home stereo. If I can find a good line tap lying around I will show that as well. Cheers
@@breakerbroke23 Okay, I'm going to keep the older model and am ready to open up the stereo case and go in and solder a small wire to keep the internal plug connector from breaking the circuit so main speakers will stay on as well as the transmitter getting the headphone jack power level needed to make it work properly then. Would that be a good solution? I wasn't able to locate a line tap and if you would, could you post a link to one on Amazon I could order... that would be the preferred way for me rather than having to go into the stereo and modify the headphone jack connector. thx.
If you have the capability to crack open your receiver and do the solder work, then hell yes! I think that is a great idea.
I may just try that myself:) Why didn't I think of that :) If your idea works then forget the line tap. Keep me posted .
i'm new to this stuff, but it looks like ANYthing line level will work, but by plugging direct into a tape deck, you won't get any eq/tone control you would get by passing the signal through the amp/preamp. maybe the speakers have eq? I don't know, but that would be nice as you could adjust eq without having to walk back to amp/preamp.
You are correct.
I have an ilive record player that has built in speakers and has Bluetooth already but just for playing music from the speakers built in can I use a Bluetooth transmitter on my record player to use Bluetooth speakers
Yes you can you will need a Phono Pre amp if you are going from your Turntable only... They are relatively cheap. amzn.to/2XI6OJg
I totally understand the concept, what I dont understand is how do you pair it without looking and clicking on the bluetooth speakers ssid???
After looking this up, I found out you don't need ssid like on your cell phone. You hit the pair button on the device you want to connect with, then hit the pair button on the transceiver and the do there thing. Still wish he said that!!!
I felt I didn't need to as every new device comes with instructions and I didn't want to confuse people.
Thanks for watching.
Hi Nice Vintage Audio setup I was wanting to Bluetooth my cassette deck & portable CD player to my new Pyle mixer (mixer has bluetooth) would that transmitter work for this? Thanks for the info👍👍
If your mixer receives Bluetooth then yes.
I have a Blackstar guitar amp without bluetooth. I would like to make it blue tooth by connecting to the in jack so that it transmits to my bluetooth earphones while the guitar is plugged into the amp by jack. This is so I can play the guitar without making a noise. Would this work ? Many thanks
It will work but beware of possible latency issues. I would maybe stick to wired headphones... ZERO latency.
IMO.
Thanks for this. What about going the other way, meaning is it possible for me to enable my receiver with a bluetooth device acting as a receiver, in order to receive audio from my computer?
Yes you can do that, there are many "easy" ways to do this. BUT, take a look at my video ruclips.net/video/nVsJCW9DtCc/видео.html by doing it this way takes a bit longer and more expensive, in the long run this is a way better setup. Just turn on your receiver and thats it.
Thanks for watching....BB23
Question: when transmitting with Miccus from vintage audio receiver headphones jack, is it normal not to have volume control at the Bluetooth speaker?
Thanks
The BT speaker should allow you to adjust the volume. When using the headphone jack you will need to use the stereo volume control to give audio to the miccus, then you can go from there with the vol control on your speaker.
Wanted to know if it can definitely pair with my tws bt earbuds (Creative Outlier Air) before I buy a bt tranmitter. Usually, in phone or laptop say, you have to select the bt headphones. Demo the pairing process?
If they are BT then as far as I know you should be able to use them together, Maybe call MICCUS tech support and ask if they know. Very helpful people.
Apparantly its super easy to pair. Hold a button on miccus and your device to pair, and youre done. Thanks
What device will allow for two sets of speakers, A & B and both Left and Right channels?
I have used 2 sets of the RTX to set up links to 2 seperate amplifiers if thats what you want to do-- otherwise this will not switcvh speaker level output/input for a speaker "A" and "B" on your receiver
what about a portable cd player?
I'm trying to pair two JBL Flip to this transmitter via a phone Bluetooth. So I can get dual sound and walking range at work.
Get an Idea on how much range these Transmitters have.. Check out this video.ruclips.net/video/4kF9q25fTUw/видео.html
Well you could've at least let the late great Jim Reeves finish singing "Billy Bayou" before switching it off. Seriously, thanks for your tips. My brother just bought an old stereo cabinet with two built in speakers and he has lots of vinyl Lps and I'm going to give my old set of them as well as well. Thanks again. About my Sansui 9700 I saw one on ebay a month or so back.
Yes I know they are out there(9700s), But My better 1/2 will kill me if I bring one more Stereo or CB home. Thanks for your comment..BB23
The Miccus unit is cool but a bit long in the tooth. I was ready to pull the trigger on a HOME RTX 2.0 when I noticed it’s a BT v4.2 device :-(
Bluetooth 5.0 was officially rolled out in July 2016 (essentially 5-years ago). I've written them asking if there is a refresh on the horizon.
Talk to Karin at miccus... new unit coming
@@breakerbroke23 Great, thank you!
Can I use this setup for a record player. Audio technica at-pl 300.
I believe your TT has a phono pre-amp built in and if so then a setup like this will work just fine.
Here is a link to a more up to date and flexable BT Transmitter, good quality and a great price. ruclips.net/video/pzQmQAydVfQ/видео.html
Great question and thanks for watching.
Hey there breakerbroke23,
Our church just purchased a Roland LX17 digital piano, a stand alone, with built in speakers (6). There is a headphone out jack, and 1/4" L/R out jacks on it. The speakers on board aren't dispersing the sound very well .... all in one spot. Can the Miccus BT connect to this digital piano someway, and transmit the audio out to another Miccus BT for receiving that audio, then send that received audio into our church sound system mixer, and out to our sound system (4) overhead speakers.
Thank you for your help, solving this project.

As much as I like the miccus gear I would use something a bit more suited for what you need to do. If I had to set up your system I would use the Denon pro BT units.

I have a pair of Acoustic Research speakers that have a built in amp. Normally it uses a 900mhz transmit signal to make it wireless for outdoor use. Bluetooth doesn't use the 900mhz band, so Bluetooth won't link up to the speakers. It does however, have an aux. input jack, that a receive Bluetooth board can be installed to with its own power supply. When I picked up these speakers at a secondhand store, the 900mhz transmitter didn't come with them, so I now am installing a proper Bluetooth hookup to these speakers for outdoor use, as well as installing the separate Bluetooth transmitter connection at the unit I wish ti listen to. Wa-la, I have great sounding wireless speakers again for outdoor use. It just took hooking a small Bluetooth receiver board at each speaker hookup, with a small power supply to operate it. I'll both operating at less than half the cost of going after the 900mhz transmitter, the speaker normally uses to make it warless. I have a couple of extra boards that I will be adding to a pair of small guitar amps, which will also make them far more versatile when playing along with karaoke songs off the internet. Bluetooth is neat.
Nice work.
Its now official... You are a Bluetooth GEEK. It happens. Cheers
@@breakerbroke23 Actually, I do electronics as a hobby these days, but I work on transmitters/receivers in ham radios. Been around Bluetooth for years.
hi I would like to transmit playback from old revox b77 to amplifier eliminating hard wire connection cables ... would this work
This is my pick. amzn.to/3VEqWXE It is an upgraded model on the Bluetooth side and more flexible hook up wise.
Cheers
I have my set up upstairs but want to add some Bluetooth bookshelf speakers downstairs. Will this transmit to them?
That depends on the materials that are used in your walls and flooring, placement of house wiring. That being said I have used this transmitter for many years and in many different scenarios, I would be confident in saying that the RTX would more than likely work for you. The RTX has out performed most every transmitter I have used to date. (even though it is older BT4.0 technology ). If you get one plz let us know how it worked out for you. Cheers.
How did it work out? What Bluetooth speakers did you use?
Can I have your receiver when your done with it
Audio quality?
I'm no computer savvy. And my problem is my father is in a nursing home and his roommate don't want to hear the tv at night but my father cant sleep without it my question is will this work with bluetooth head phones and his TV so as to not disturb his roommate
Yes, it will work just make sure the TV has some sort of audio output. The Miccus rtx works very well with their headphones, like these... ruclips.net/video/m9FQws3KofM/видео.html
Good luck I hope you can get him setup.
This sounds great. I have a Bose Wave IV stereo cd player. Will this work with that?
Iam not to familiar with this radio, but doesn't it already have BT Receiver? As far as using the RTX 2.0 for a transmitter it will hook up to your headphone jack and transmit audio to a BT speaker or BT headphones, and should work very well.
@@breakerbroke23 Thanks for answering. Bose Wave IV is a CD player and radio sold on QVC and HSN. Some have a BT attachment you can buy separately, but mine does not. This is a stationary unit and is not cheap, they run from $299 on sale to $499. The one with the built in BT reciever is $599.
They are expensive, but OMG the sound is terriffic. You can hear notes and sounds that usually can only be heard on a big very expensive stereo set up. It has special builtin speakers, but they fill the whole room with sound without being super loud. You should try one. You have to hear it in person to appreciate it.
As I said, it is not portable. I was wondering if the set up you showed would work with this to pair with separate Bose bluetooth wireless speakers that I want to take outside?
@@breakerbroke23 I hooker the Miccus up just like you said and it works perfect with my Bose WaveIV CD Player on earphones. Haven't tried speakers yet, but should be no different. Thanks again.
Brilliant! If transmitting when playing vinyl, do you lose the analog vintage sound?
Great question...
Yes, and no. The use of BT itself doesn't take much from the sound, its more in how you play it back. If using a small BT speaker you do not get the fidelity of vinyl, however if you BT to a set of nice powered monitors or a larger home stereo (like in another part of your home) the sound can be decent. IMO
@@breakerbroke23 thanks very much. Could you recommend a transmitter?
with that set up or a similar set up with a different transmitter, how many bluetooth speakers can you pair with it?
The transmitter in this video (RTX2.0) will not transmit to a pair of spkrs, The Swivel Jack by MICCUS will pair to two spks. Understand you may have some delay between the two paired spks. ruclips.net/video/H0uL3kbLXz0/видео.html
@@breakerbroke23 hello, why would not work with the RTX2.0? The swivel Jack seems to be a more basic device...
Also, what would be your recommendation to connect to a pair of speakers in my garden?
I'm planning to buy these: www.amazon.com/Pyle-PDWR51BTWT-Waterproof-Bluetooth-Speakers/dp/B01954Q028
and would like to hear the music both in the house and in the garden at the same time. (using the headphone jack will turn off the sound inside) i was hoping to find a transmitter that connects via RCA to my second zone output in the receiver...
Your feedback would be appreciated.
Do you recommend other devices with dual purpose (transmit/receive) as well?
Last year I tried a couple other brands ( in the 50.00 range) but I liked the RTX better. Never did any video on them. Sounds Like I should get on that:)
@@breakerbroke23 Looking forward to that!
Do you review any other transmitters? I get 20 - 30 feet, line of sight with my Micus Home RTX and with using their range extender antenna. Same with their
Looks like an easy to use unit . Can it pair with and play thru more than one Bluetooth speaker at a time? If so How many?
The RTX 2.0 has two output channels. so you can pair 2 sets of headphones or 2 bluetooth speakers to this unit. Thanks for watching... BB23
Cool , Thanks
Would this work on a Bose Wave ll radio?
Yes.. Your Wave has both an AUX input and headphone output. So you could use the BT Transmitter for either Sending music from your phone to the wave or using the wave to send to a BT Speaker.
Thanks for watching.....BB23
can you connect in between your Record Player to your AMP and Play to the AMP and to a Bluetooth connection at the same time So Record Player to Preamp then to Bluetooth Transmitter then to Receiver and speakers and have it transmit to The Bluetooth speaker and the receiver
How about Turntable into Stereo Receiver, BT Transmitter hooked to Tape mon out. Then you could use the Stereo and BT at same time? Is this what you want, or am I not getting it?
maybe i want to be able to play threw my hard wired speakers and a bluetooth Echo all at the same time
Yes, The way I described should do what you want just fine. The BT unit can NOT go between the Turntable and rcvr. So try a Tape mon out.. Good luck.
UPDATE/BRAIN STORM......
HOOK UP THE BT TX TO YOUR HEADPHONE OUT PUT. That would let you listen to a BT Spkr AND your home Spkrs at the same time with full volume control.
Hi, Breakerbroke23,
Why do you say this cannot be used between the turntable and the amp? Does the unit not accept line level signals? Cause if it does, then the following sequence should do what John Villeneuve was wanting to do.
As I understood his question, he wants the turntable to transmit to the amp from one location, then have the amp play normally at its location AND re-transmit to a Bluetooth speaker simultaneously.
I would try this: Turnatable --> phono to line pre-amp --> Bluetooth Transmitter... Then, with a Bluetooth Receiver, you can pick up that signal with the amp. Then if you wanted to Transmit to a Bluetooth speaker as well, you'd need another Transmitter, as your reply suggested. Sure, 2 BT transmitters, 1 BT receiver, and 1 phono pre-amp are expensive and impractical, but it should work. No? Or did I miss something?
An ever better solution is if there are units that transmit to TWO receivers simultaneously. I don't know if they make that.
Cheers! ;-)
Hi Robert.
The Miccus will not pass through analog signal, (It will pass through TOSLink) So for John to do what he wants, adding a BT Transmitter to a Tape mon out will work just fine. But depending on his receiver will not be able to control volume on the bluetooth. Your idea will work if he wants to go to that experience. and he needs to give the BT Transmitter a RIAA phono Preamp signal.
NO NO NO STOP.... He could hook up the Bluetooth Transmitter via a HEADPHONE out! YES.. Then he would have control of volume as well..and only need one BT TRansmitter!!!!
BAM! We did it. Great follow up Robert. WINNING!
breakerbroke23 what about an older cd boombox?i d have a Bluetooth transmitter
Yes.
@@breakerbroke23 well,I tried,it and nothing.
ACK!.. you skipped right over the part I wanted to see the most, lol..
How to pair a device when you don't have a screen to choose the device you want to pair to..
Read the instructions for the device YOU are using. ACK!
Umm.. I don't have a device yet. I'm interested in how the pairing process works with no screen.
KL -- my daughters I-pad ii speakers stopped working and my wife bought a very cheap blu-tooth speaker, it pairs automaticly. sounds very good too. although it's only one speaker, it sums both left and right channels together.
Too bad it says 2 year warranty that's no good iv need something that will last me years now only 2 years
sarc?
This is actually quite inefficient: digital sources will be converted to Analog by the amplifier DAC, because the headphone jack is an analog output. Then the Analog signal from the headphone jack is converted back to a digital signal (Bluetooth adapter). Then your bluetooth headphone DAC will convert it back to an analog signal (since all heard music is analog). Which makes me wonder why there's so few amplifiers (or other digital equipment) which can do bluetooth transmit. Basically every phone or mobile device can do it, so why not amplifiers? People would like to use their (often expensive) bluetooth headphones inside and around their house as well! "Why," would some people ask, "why not simply use your bluetooth headphones with your phone inside the house? ", well, the quality of the DAC inside your amp is usually much better than the DAC inside your phone or tablet.
pairing is a bitch on many of these devices..
Depends on your device, my S7 phone pairs real easy but my older Tablet and lap top can be difficult.
Still worth the effort.LOL
