Hi All

I am looking for the cheapest way to connect the Direct TV box with RCA connector audio output to a wireless speaker in another room. It can be the lowest sound quality as I am only listening to the news, no music. My work room do not have Direct tv, I just want to pipe the sound from the living room ( with the Direct TV box) to the work room. It can be mono

The room is about 30ft from the Direct TV box. Can Blue Tooth cover the range?
I looked at this one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015SDNW2Q/?tag=pfamazon01-20
But I don't think it has a transmitter with RCA connection.

I looked at this:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DSBOME/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It's $72, I really don't need anything this fancy.

Please advice.

thanks

Alan

I can't help with 'cheapest', but Rocketfish has (or had?) a full suite of products like this. I use it to allow any source to be picked up on my deck or kitchen without wires.It is pretty high quality sound, but not cheap at all. Rather more expensive than I would have liked. With rocketfish, there is a transmitter unit and receiver/amplifier unit. You use whatever speakers you want. For my deck, I use high end Polk speakers.

There seem to be a number of Bluetooth audio transmitters like these:

This one has only a 3.5mm stereo audio plug, for the headphone jack on an iPod etc.; not a pair of RCA plugs like on your DirecTV box. However, you can use a Y-adapter like this:

So this one connects to the Direct TV with a RCA to 3.5mm. Then what speaker to buy? Like this one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015SDNW2Q/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Thanks

How much sound do you need, in how big of a room?

Not much, just a small transistor radio volume. Something with a 3" speaker is plenty. It's a 12'X12' room that is quiet other than a fan.
