hi all, I’m running a Beogram 1000 and beomaster 1000 which I’d like to output to a wireless speaker. Does anyone know if this is a viable option? I know wireless adapters are available however they all seem to connect via rca cable. Has anyone managed or know if an rca option can be converted to the 2 pin din on the beomaster?
Hi Stump28,
Which model of wireless speaker do you wish to connect please? We can then suggest a suitable solution (if one exists!)
Kind regards, Steve.

This is what I did once. Cheap line level attenuator with 2 pin din ends to a cheap bluetooth transmitter to bluetooth speakers and headphones. It works but the low quality of the components I used was evident in the sound reproduction.
Peter-
It’s a Sony srs z7r wireless speaker. Sounds promising that there’s a solution although if the trade off in sound quality I might have to rethink
Hi Stump28
Thanks for this, you can use the Tape output of the Beomaster with any Bluetooth transmitter that supports ad hoc pairing to give a wireless connection without compromising on sound quality.
Please let me know which model of Transmitter you choose and I will be pleased to advise on the cable you need.
Hi Steve, the model I’d seen and had recommended was the Neet airstream
Neet Airstream (along with Apple Airport Express, Goggle Chromecast Audio and Spotify Gramofon) is a wireless receiver, intended to pick up a wireless signal from a mobile device and be cabled directly to a music system or active speaker.
What you need is a bluetooth transmitter instead, this will need to be one that supports ad hoc (also know as "peer to peer") pairing, ie. one with a "pair" button that doesn't need to have the pairing process initiated by a smart device such as a phone.
I'm not aware of any good quality bluetooth transmitters currently on the market that support this, but maybe other Beoworlders could advise?
quick update for anyone looking for similar. Solved with an avantree transmitter straight into the speaker outputs in the beomaster. In terms of sound quality it’s improved over the original speakers although obviously playing through a different speaker now which will make a difference.
