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!

@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. 

I didn't see a 3.5mm output on the bluedento, only a coax out (digital).

@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. 

@kota1 Ha!  Interesting looking piece, but I took your initial wise advice and just ordered an RCA splitter that should solve all problems and will be here tomorrow (thank you Amazon Prime), and at $10 it’s a relatively cheap fix assuming it works of course.
