The convenience of being able to bring the sound from your iPhone or iPad directly to a wireless speaker with the AirPlay function It is a frankly pleasant experience, but unfortunately all wireless speakers do not include the Apple standard. The problem comes when you have quality speakers that you don't want to part with. Is there a way to convert traditional speakers into wireless ones with AirPlay 2 support? Today is your lucky day.
AirPlay 2 Converter Adapter
In the Belkin catalog we can find an adapter called SoundForm Connect AirPlay 2, which what it does is receive a wireless signal and sends it through an analog output or an optical digital output. This way, you just have to connect the device to the audio input port of your speakers or speaker system so that it receives the audio emitted from your iPhone.
Its installation is extremely simple, and all you need is to plug it into a USB charger that is included and connect the analog or digital cable, depending on your case, to the speakers in question.
Its official price is 99,99 euros, although on Amazon you can find quite interesting promotions with which to get it at a lower price.
Multiroom Streaming Amplifier
Another more complete (and expensive) option is the one proposed WiiM. It is an independent amplifier that is capable of giving life to desktop stereo speakers with 120W per channel. Its multiple inputs allow you to receive sounds via HDMI, analog input, optical input and even from streaming services such as Spotify and Tidal, although its main attraction is that it is compatible with AirPlay 2, Alexa Cast and Chromecast Audio services.
It is something like a connected audio station with which to offer all types of sound sources to a pair of powerful speakers. The main problem is its price, since it is not an economical device.
The smallest adapter
El iEAST Olio is an AirPlay 2 compatible wireless adapter that features an extremely compact design. It is perfect for those who want to give wireless connectivity to their speakers and do not want to place a device of too many dimensions next to them.
Compatible with Spotify, Tidal and with 192 KHz/24 Bit Hi-Res audio, it is a device to keep in mind with which you can not only bring audio through AirPlay, but it is also compatible with the voice assistant of Alexa.
