[SML] Wire Less Speaker

[Johnson, Philip]

Last year for The Winter's Tale I put a bluetooth speaker in a baby basket and ran it off qlab.  It worked reasonably well.  We had to make sure qlab saw the speaker and the speaker didn't shut off because of inactivity.    I put a bluetooth dongle on the end of a cat5 extender and hung it over the stage.  For the most part it worked.  If I do it again I 'll get  a better bluetooth speaker .

The 'horn' of the Victrola can be the speaker, and can be driven from within the case.

Hello all,

        I'm considering trying a wireless speaker in an upcoming production. (possibly burying the speaker in horn of a Victrola. If anyone has some tried and true hardware options to recommend, that would be excellent. Also welcoming and tried and failed pitfalls to avoid.

Many Thanks
