[SlimDevices: Radio] Wireless speakers for Squeezebox Radio
Hi there, We have a Squeezebox Radio in our conservatory and would like a wireless speaker in the kitchen to hear the radio in another room. I know the SBR can work as a wireless speaker for another Squeezebox, but is there a way for another speaker to wirelessly listen to the SBR? What products and method would you recommend to do this? Would something lik ethis do the trick: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/8693 Thanks, Andy -- AndyTwizzle AndyTwizzle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53445 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93039 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Why not just get another radio ? They can be syncronised or play as induvidiuals . If your notnrunning a local server mysqueezebox.com would be able to sync them for you. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

But, if you want to go that route, you could use any wireless speaker system that can take a simple 3.5mm analog stereo mini plug input (this is the headphones out plug on the Radio). What I don't know is if using the headphone out will the Radio's speaker still play? -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93039 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

AndyTwizzle;684131 Wrote: Thanks for the replies. Plugging a jack into the headphone socket cuts the radio's speaker out, and I was hoping a wireless speaker would be cheaper than buying a second radio. One question: does the SBR have Bluetooth capability? If so, one of these http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/8087 for £20 and portable speakers I already own would do the trick. Does SBR have Bluetooth? No. But google a bit in many places radio is avaible at discount prices, substantial discount, logitech themself is usually most the most expensive option. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Maybe a battery for your Radio so you can easily move it about as needed? -- j.com j.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93039 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Batteries and moving the radio won't work - we need another speaker so my partner and I can both listen to the same thing in different rooms at the same time (without having the radio so loud it annoys the neighbours). Cheapest I've found a Squeezebox radio for in UK is £99.99, so we can't afford a second one right now. Thanks for the suggestions so far - any other ideas guys?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Wireless speakers for Squeezebox Radio
Is there a pc in one of the rooms? If so, you could install one of the software players, such as SqueezePlay, and use the pc like a Squeezebox. You can sync it to the Radio, although sync'ing with software players is rarely perfect. If the rooms are far enough apart then it shouldn't matter, but if you can hear both at the same time then the sync being off can be really annoying. SqueezePlay is free, perpetual-beta software from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7 If you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Android device you may be able to buy one of the apps that supports SB streaming to those devices. I'm not sure, but I think the sync'ing is no better, and probably worse, than the software players like SqueezePlay. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93039 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Save up some more £££ and get a radio in a couple of months, a wireless speaker cheaper than this would not sound very good ,imho it would sound so bad that you wonder why you wasted all that money in the first place even if it was cheap. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Keep an eye out for offers; sometimes they are hinted on this forum.
