Playing two Bluetooth devices simultaneously from iPhone and/or MacBook
My oldest is going to college soon, and as a graduation gift I got him wireless computer speakers and a wireless sub just so he can kick everyone else’s ass in the dorm. No prob synching them both up and they both play individually via Bluetooth, but we’re having a hard time figuring out how to get them both to play simultaneously. I think he’s got an iPhone 11 and the MacBook is relatively new so thinking they should have this capability and hoping someone here who’s been through this already might have some helpful tips. Thanks for any help!
You need to connect the speakers and the sub to the bludento audio receiver and run everything from that, There is a delay with blutooth and you need to just use one endpoint. The sub has an RCA in and the speakers have an aux in. You need to use the RCA out of the bludento and get some y connectors that has both an RCA and a 3.5 mm connection.

@kota1 Thanks, and I’ll look into this. But I was hoping to first figure out how to run two different Bluetooth connections at the same time from an iPhone, etc. and see how that works as it’d be the simplest solution. |
@kota1 I’m giving your method a shot and like the idea of only having one transmitter. Turns out all the BluDento outputs are active simultaneously so my plan is to keep running the RCA out to the sub and the 3.5mm output to the Edifier speakers (thankfully Edifier provided a 3.5mm cable). Seems like this should work, but the devil’s always in the details with this stuff so 🤞🤞🤞. Thanks again for your helpful suggestion, and I’ll let you know how it works out. |
@kota1 Dammit. Thanks and you’re correct, unfortunately. Nice catch. Looks like I’ll be trying an RCA splitter after all. Ugh. Not sure why they’d provide a 3.5mm patch cord in this case — that’s what threw me. |
