Hi all, first post but I'm hoping you can help me with setting up sound for our patio/pool.
Here is what I have currently:
- 1 receiver (old Sony, non bluetooth receiver), located inside the house, approx 10 feet from the patio, 25 feet from the pool
- 2 yamaha speakers, ceiling mounted on patio, hardwired to the receiver inside
- 1 TV wall mounted on the patio, will be able to see from the spa and most of the pool we are building
We are building a pool and I would like to be able to:
- Stream music from my phone while in the pool through the existing patio speakers
- Watch the outdoor tv from the pool, and be able to use the existing patio speakers to boost the sound
- Be able to add wireless outdoor speakers in the future
I would like to be able to use the existing equipment where possible, but am not opposed to buying a reasonably priced receiver or other equipment.
My initial thoughts are that I should buy 2 long range bluetooth transmitters/receivers. 1 can be in receiver mode, hooked up to the inside receiver and another can be in transmitter mode and hooked up to the outside TV. Would that work? AM I better off buying a new receiver? If so, do you have any recommendations on ones that have good bluetooth range? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance. I also made a crude drawing below.
