I am looking for some advice on how to use a wireless microphone (a Boyalink2) to broadcast to a Bluetooth speaker, rather than to be used as a recording device. But I can't find any real instructions how to do so!

I am wanting to use the microphones to amplify presenters at a small event. I have a UE Boom speaker. But I've been going round in circles trying to figure out how to bridge from the microphones to the speaker. All the instructions I've found focus on how to record sound, rather than broadcast it. Does anyone have some advice? Thank you!

Here is my 0.02

Looks like there *might* be a couple of ways to try to do this..

1) connect your phone to the receiver, and then select the phone speaker, then co into control center to see if you can then "cast" the speaker to the UE boom, if there is no cast option, then try option 2

2) The Second option will pnly work if you have an old model of UE with an 3.5mm input, if you so then put the input jack plug on to the receiver and pluf it directly into the UE, the UE should then just play the input coming from the mic....

how do you plan on connecting it to the speaker? Speaker accepts Bluetooth, the microphone doesn't output Bluetooth, so you need something to bridge the sound for you

That's where I think I'm getting stuck. I can connect the Boyalink receiver to my phone fine, and record via the microphone onto the Boya Sound app. But I don't have any way to bridge from this to the speaker. I had tried a few audio apps that Copilot told me could do this - but I think it may have been hallucinating :). Any bridging app recommendations gratefully recieved!

Hi - thanks for your suggestions - unfortunately that sequence doesn't work - I can connect phone to speaker, and microphone to phone, but not in between! Sadly speaker doesn't have the right connection.

even if you get it to work, i'd be concerned about the latency, as the sound would be encoded-transmitted-decoded twice in the path.

can you hear the microphone input/sound on the phone's internal speaker? the Boya manual says:

this, in turn, suggests that if the phone's sound output has been set to bluetooth (headset/speaker), maybe before the Boya receiver was connected, it'll work as has been suggested.

failing that, you might have to resort to PC speakers that have a 3.5mm input jack... or older boom speakers that have them.

It will be too laggy with bluetooth to use as a PA mic. Talking on a mic with lag is very hard for some people.

You will need third party software to record and play the same audio to try it. I can't recall the name of the one that we used to announce into another room on a bluetooth speaker but it had a megaphone as its icon. It would just record from the inbuilt or connected mic and play to the audio output. About 1-200ms lag all around which was fine when the speaker was not nearby.

Thanks all! I have managed to track down another Bluetooth speaker with a jack that matches the BoyaLink ones, and it works fine. So I'll keep it simple and connect that way. Agree on the lag if I did manage to get the app to work.
