I have 2 S 1 pro system speakers that I use for outdoor events; while using spotify app one speaker kept going out occasionally, what is the max distance between the speakers and ipad to keep this from happening; also I noticed the one that would go out occurred when a person walked in the path of the speakers
Hello hwayne,
Bluetooth signals are relatively weak and are affected by many things, as they're designed for short-distance, line-of-sight transmission. You experienced some of the limitations of Bluetooth. Some devices are better/stronger/more sensitive than others, so your experiences will vary.
The practical distance is usually up to about 20 feet from the source to each speaker, so if your music source is directly between the speakers, you could get them up to 40 feet apart . As you've discovered, it can be affected by someone walking in the signal's path. You'll just have to move the speakers closer to your phone/iPad/computer.
Does that help?
