In today’s guide, let’s walk through the methodology of connecting both (BT speakers & Projector) so Say goodbye to those tiny built-in projector speakers or your wired speakers and say hello to immersive audio and exalt your viewing or presenting like a pro.

Essential Information

It is indispensable to know some things before connecting any of your existing wireless Bluetooth speakers with your TV projector system, so the things I have mentioned below must be considered before you proceed.

Check Bluetooth Option

First, you need to ensure both the Projector and your wireless speakers are Bluetooth-enabled. If your Projector does not contain built-in Bluetooth functionality, then I will recommend you to purchase any Bluetooth transmitter separately.

Bluetooth Connection Range

Second, check the range of your Bluetooth connection, which depends on your devices and the environment. Both (Projector & Speakers) must be within 30 feet of each other so that they will perform with excellence.

Bluetooth Speaker Pairing Mode

Third, please verify that your Bluetooth speakers are in pairing mode so that they are easily discovered by your Projector. (You can check your Bluetooth speaker Manual for putting them on pairing mode.)

Turn ON Projector Bluetooth

The fourth recommendation is turning on the Projector’s Bluetooth wireless connectivity so it will start discovering your speakers and easily show the Model shown in the Bluetooth pairing list. (Read manual that comes with your Projector, so you will get good help in learning Bluetooth activation procedure)

Check Compatibility

To check whether your Bluetooth Speaker or your Projector supports the technology, it should be possible to check their compatibility.

Step By Step

I am sure the process is very straightforward, so keep following me:

Please note: In order to address any model-specific issues, refer to your projector’s or Speaker’s respective manuals.

First Step:  Access Projector Settings

  • Find an option related to Audio or Sound settings.

Second Step: Enable Bluetooth Pairing on Projector

  • Go To Projector Settings > Locate > Bluetooth section.

Third Step: Pair the Devices

  • Under Projector Discover List, you have to find your Bluetooth Speaker Model.
  • Select it (for simply initiating pairing process).

Step Fourth: Confirm Pairing

Your Projector and Bluetooth speaker should display confirmation messages once the devices are paired.

Note: It is possible that some projectors require a PIN or that you confirm the pairing by means of the device.

Fifth Step: Adjust Audio Settings

  • Now, Go to your Projector’s audio settings menu.
  • Select your Bluetooth speaker as the audio output source.

Sixth Step: Test the Connection

Test whether your Bluetooth speakers are working by playing a video or audio clip on your Projector.

Step By Step Connect your Bluetooth Speakers By Using Bluetooth Transmitter

Here, I will show you Six steps for pairing your Audio speakers & your Projector by using a Bluetooth Audio Transmitter below:

Note: You can also use a Wireless display adapter setup if you have one. We use a wireless adapter in situations when your Projector does not contain built-in Bluetooth Functionality.

Steps To Follow

  1. First, find the audio jack port on your Projector.
  2. Second, Turn On your Bluetooth Transmitter
  3. Third, you have to put your Bluetooth Transmitter on pairing mode, which you can do by Pressing the Button For 4-5 Seconds.

  5. Active your Bluetooth Speakers in Pairing Mode.

Optical connection or Bluetooth Speakers

Also, using an optical connection for your speaker is better than Bluetooth, and experts also recommend them. Higher bandwidth makes optical connections more efficient, resulting in clearer sound with less loss. Despite Bluetooth’s convenience, it can sometimes cause delay and compression problems that affect the quality of your music.

Tips and Troubleshooting

  • As a first tip, It’s important to keep your Bluetooth speakers within the range of the projector for easy detection.
  • The second tip is to check user manuals (of both) that give you a great idea about specific instructions.
  • My third tip is to check the charging of both the projector & your speakers) 
  • My fourth tip is for people who use Bluetooth transmitters to check their compatibility before using them.

Benefits Of Connecting Wireless Speaker To Any Projector

I’ll show you why wireless speakers are so awesome for projectors below:

Enhanced Audio Quality 

Say goodbye to those puny built-in projector speakers. A wired speaker will not deliver the same level of sound quality as a wireless Bluetooth speaker, as it provides richer, more immersive audio that enhances your visual experience.

Cinematic Experience

With wireless speakers, you get a theater-like effect with surround sound, so conversations can be heard clearly, and explosions can rumble.

Flexibility in Speaker Placement

The freedom to move your wireless speakers around your home gives you a great deal of flexibility. No matter where you sit, you can ensure the best possible sound.

No Clutter, No Cables

By using wireless speakers you can easily keep your setup neat and tidy because audio cables do not need to be run.

Seamless Connectivity

If you have a wireless speaker, connecting it to the Projector is usually easy. There is usually no need to deal with complicated connections with most projectors and Bluetooth speakers.

Versatility

You can set up your Projector for more than just movies. Also, for gaming, sports, presentations, and slideshows for top-tier audio, wireless speakers can be used.

User-Friendly Control

The major benefit is easy-to-control options; like while watching something on Projector, you can control speakers easily via a smartphone app (Volume adjustment, settings, EQ, etc)

Impressive Impressions

Hosting a movie night or a presentation? Wireless speakers add that “wow” factor, making a lasting impression with exceptional audio quality.

Can I use a projector without audio output if it doesn’t have one?

In the event your Projector lacks a sound output, an HDMI audio converter may be critical. It will extract the audio signal from the HDMI output and provide an audio output. Afterward, you can then connect to your Bluetooth transmitter. For higher-end audio grade, you can consider higher-end Bluetooth codecs like aptX or AAC.

Here are fleeting steps to follow:

  • You’ll require a Bluetooth audio transmitter.
  • Afterward, connect the Projector audio output to the transmitter so that your Bluetooth Speakers will be able to receive the audio from your Projector.

You may thought, ‘‘Which Bluetooth transmitter should you use?’’ There must be a Bluetooth transmitter with an audio input that matches your Projector’s audio output. It is essential to look for transmitters supporting the same audio connection type, such as 3.5mm, RCA, or optical. For pairing more than other speakers with an audio transmitter, you need to correspond its capability. So be foolproof to check the transmitter’s specifications.

Final Words

Your Projector’s audio adventure will be transformed with immersive, high-quality sound when you connect wireless speakers to it. So do follow the actions we have mentioned and enjoy sound coming from your Projector in a well-defined manner.

A slight delay may be heard in the audio (also known as audio latency) while using Bluetooth speakers with your Projector but depending on how long the delay is, the audio may not match the video perfectly. So I will suggest you to look for transmitters with low-latency technology to minimize this issue.
