Kako običajen zvočnik spremeniti v zvočnik Bluetooth?
Tehnologija Bluetooth hitro postaja nekaj, brez česar preprosto ne moremo živeti. Toda kaj storiti, če imate zvočnike ali cel stereo sistem brez povezave Bluetooth?
Morda vas zanimajo klasični, visokokakovostni zvočni sistemi ali pa že imate vse zvočnike, ki jih potrebujete za naslednje življenje. V tem primeru se lahko na koncu počutite malo zapostavljene ali celo ljubosumne na sisteme, združljive s tehnologijo Bluetooth.
Vendar nič več!
Naučil vas bom, kako običajen zvočnik spremenite v zvočnik Bluetooth. In prepričan sem, da ste prijetno presenečeni in navdušeni nad tem, kako preprosta je in kako cenovno ugodna je lahko ta nadgradnja. Tako se lahko z le nekaj koraki pridružite čudovitemu svetu brezžičnih povezav, ki jih ponuja Bluetooth.
Dodajanje Bluetootha zvočniku:enostavno kot 1-2-3!
Res ne bi moglo biti lažje nadgraditi navaden zvočnik na zvočnik Bluetooth . Vse kar morate storiti je, da sledite tem trem korakom:
- Kupite sprejemnik Bluetooth.
- Povežite sprejemnik Bluetooth z zvočnikom ali stereo sistemom.
- Seznanite svojo napravo s sprejemnikom in predvajajte glasbo.
Nato si poglejmo različne vrste sprejemnikov Bluetooth in različne načine povezovanja sprejemnikov Bluetooth z običajnimi zvočniki , domačih stereo sistemih in celo avtomobilskih stereo sistemih.
Povezovanje sprejemnika Bluetooth z vašim stereo sistemom
Medtem ko je nakup sprejemnika Bluetooth enostavno in je seznanjanje telefona, tabličnega računalnika ali druge naprave z njim kos torte, je pravilno povezovanje lahko izziv.
Zakaj?
No, ker obstajajo različni načini povezovanja z različnimi stvarmi. Če želite vedeti, kako običajen zvočnik spremeniti v zvočnik Bluetooth, morate najprej vedeti, kakšno vrsto zvočnika pretvarjate. Glavna razlika, ki nas tukaj zanima, je, ali imate aktivni ali pasivni zvočnik.
Povezovanje z aktivnim zvočnikom
V elektriki in elektroniki ima vse, kar je aktivno, svojo moč. Torej, zvočniki, ki jih morate priključiti na steno, so aktivni, ker morajo biti aktivno napajani, da delujejo. To lahko vključuje tudi zvočnike, ki delujejo na baterije ali jih je mogoče polniti.
Večina računalniških zvočnikov je aktivnih, napajajo se prek USB-ja ali napajalnika in imajo vgrajene komponente ojačevalnika; zato jih ni treba priključiti na zunanji ojačevalnik.
Dobre novice
Sprejemnike Bluetooth je mogoče priključiti neposredno na aktivne zvočnike in od tam je v bistvu plug-and-play. Na splošno imajo aktivni zvočniki 3,5-milimetrska zvočna vrata (običajno) ali vrata RCA (tisti kabli z rdečimi in belimi konicami).
Če želite te zvočnike pripraviti na Bluetooth, morate le izbrati pravi kabel ali priključek. Nato sprejemnik Bluetooth enostavno priključite v vrata IN zvočnika. Presto! Zdaj veste, kako navaden zvočnik pretvorite v zvočnik Bluetooth .
Povezovanje s pasivnim zvočnikom
Pasivni zvočniki nimajo lastnega vgrajenega vira napajanja. Namesto tega črpajo moč skozi vhodne linije, ki jih povezujejo z ojačevalnikom. Ti zvočniki ne morejo ojačati signalov, ki prihajajo – za to potrebujejo ojačevalnik.
Zato morate, če imate ojačevalnik in pasivne zvočnike, svoj sprejemnik Bluetooth povezati z ojačevalnikom in ne zvočniki sami. Ojačevalnik bo okrepil signal, preden ga bo poslal v zvočnike.
Vrste povezav pasivnih zvočnikov
Večina ojačevalnikov ima več vrst priključkov, kot so RCA in 1/8" (3,5 mm) avdio priključki. Vendar pa boste morda ugotovili, da so v večini klasičnih naprav avdio vrata ¼-palčna in ne 1/8-palčna.
V tem primeru boste morda potrebovali adapter 1/8” na ¼” za priključitev sprejemnika. Kabli RCA pa so enake velikosti za vse. So, you can always run straight into RCA ports if your Bluetooth receiver has RCA outputs.
I would recommend using RCA-OUT to RCA-IN, rather than mixing RCA to audio jacks. This may mean you need to buy an extra but really inexpensive RCA cable to connect your system to Bluetooth.
Connecting to Car Stereo Systems
Car stereo systems usually use passive speakers, as most home stereo systems do. Therefore, you can just connect your Bluetooth receiver to the stereo IN port and get started. Normally this is an audio port (either 1/8” or ¼”).
While there are really cheap Bluetooth receivers that connect to car stereos via radio frequencies, they’re usually poor quality, unreliable, and prone to nasty static. Therefore, not recommended.
Choosing the Best Bluetooth Receiver
Bluetooth receivers range in price from about $20 up to $100. For most uses, a simple and cheap receiver will do the trick just fine. However, if you want a more robust and durable receiver, or have special uses for your receiver, you may need to shell out a few more dollars to get the device you need.
Next, I’m going to illustrate the different types of receivers out there by using real examples of products you can easily purchase today. We’ll start with the cheapest and most basic and work out way up.
Esikin Bluetooth Audio Adapter
If you already have some great speakers or a beautiful HiFi and you want to add Bluetooth connectivity to it on the cheap, this little box has all you need. It’s powered by a 5V adapter, so you do need to place it somewhere where there’s an outlet or power bar nearby.
Once it’s powered on, you can connect it to either your receiver or speakers directly. The box has both RCA left and right outs, as well as a single 1/8” (3.5mm) audio jack. You can send the signal out through either, but it depends on what you’re playing into. They provide a 3.5mm audio to RCA cable, which means you can go out or in through either system.
As for reception
This box has a range of about 30-40 feet, although it doesn’t do extremely well around corners and with thick masonry walls. But in a normal house, it should pick up a signal clearly coming from the same floor.
I’d love to see a USB charger on this device, but otherwise, it works really well. It pairs easily with any device – too easily sometimes. If you don’t remove the receiver from your device, it will continue to pair automatically whenever it’s left on. But for about $25, you can’t really go wrong here.
Anker Soundsync A3352 Bluetooth Receiver
This tiny Bluetooth receiver from Anker is only 1” x 2” in size but manages to do the job of a bigger receiver. It comes with a 3.5 mm audio cable or a stiff double-male 3.5 mm plug which helps you plug it into any system that has a 3.5 mm input.
You can pair two devices at once here, so that’s convenient if you like to play music from different sources or you enjoy a bit of stereo battling. The range, though stated as 30 feet, is not great when we get close to that threshold. However, this receiver is designed primarily for use with car stereos that lack Bluetooth, and for that, the range is perfectly fine.
This receiver charges through micro-USB and can hold a charge for up to 12 hours. However, if you use it while it’s charging, you get an annoying beep to remind you it’s plugged in, so that’s not ideal. I can see this little receiver fitting well into any car or powered speaker to instantly convert it to Bluetooth.
1Mii B06Pro Long Range Bluetooth Receiver
If you need a longer range or a stronger connection for your Bluetooth receiver, you might want to consider the 1Mii B06Pro. This is a powerful receiver with two antennas that can collect a signal from 197-foot (60m) away line-of-sight or 50-70 feet (20-30m) indoors and around walls and other obstacles. In other words, it’s fit for your mansion.
Supporting Bluetooth 5.0 and the AptX codec, this thing connects easily and stays connected. Unfortunately, like the Esikin, it’s a bit too tenacious. It will stay connected and always receive your audio if it’s on. So, you have to forget it from your Bluetooth list.
Powered by a 5V adapter and connecting to your stereo or speakers via included digital optical, RCA, or 3.5 mm audio cables, you get good sound quality here and very low latency.
Anytek Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Amplifier System
The Anytek Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Stereo Amplifier System is a Bluetooth receiver on steroids. It not only receives a Bluetooth signal, but it can also power that signal through passive speakers as any amp can. As a 200W amplifier for under $50, this machine does a heck of a lot.
It takes Bluetooth connections, SD cards, and USB inputs. You can connect passive speakers to the unit and power them along. You also get different EQ modes for listening to different types of input like videos, speech, and music. The range of the Bluetooth is limited to about 30 feet, but that should be fine for most home stereo systems.
The real benefit here is that if you don’t have a receiver/amp, but you have some great passive speakers kicking about, this simple machine gives you a Bluetooth-compatible stereo system instantly.
