How to connect Apple phone to jbl lsr305

[argentum246]

Hello experts
I have a friend who has jbl lsr 305 n wants to connect his iphone to play music wirelessly (wired sometimes) . Not sure what is the budget options he has without spending huge on pricey DACS.
Thanks in advance for any help

I am assuming that there is cable available to connect them directly.. any budget DACS that can help here that might have both cable / AirPlay / Bluetooth connectivity?

Use apple airport express.

How trushar? The airport express has audio out just like apple phone. they both have 3.5 mm jack o/p. Any clues on how i can connect it to LSR which does not have standard phone-i line.

Hi

Your friend needs to get a Bluetooth device like this

Almost all bluetooth devices have a EP jack plug and the LSR 305 has a big jack....so...a converter needs to be added.

This will work....cant guarantee leaks and humm noise due to jack into jack connections but this is whats there...unless you go hunting in the market.....

Cable you are looking for 3.5 to duel 6.5 trs

If you order this...which bluetooth device would it connect? Or are you looking at connecting direct? (Wired connection). This will do for a wired connection...get a good quality one......

Thought your post suggested a wireless connection...(requires a bluetooth device).

i need both... so that i do not bound my phone at one place. Also can a DAC help .. i have no clue on DACs ..

 

[efernand1]

DACs can help to improve the SQ ..ideal is to host your Digital music sources and move those signals as analog to the required destinations.

Thanks friend. Now what budget DAC you suggest that can give me both wired / bluetooth interface to connect to LSR 305.

Thanks rohan
But it is too pricey. Looking close to 3k range

 

[amit11]

For bluetooth this is one option in 3k range.

This was originally 5.5k. However they seem to reduce price saying refurbish.
This also has optical out if you want to connect to DAC in future.

 

[argentum246]

Thanks Amit .. looks like a good bluetooth adapter like one above shall also help.

Thanks for instruction, I also care about it.
