How to Connect Wireless Microphone to Bluetooth Speaker
If you’re reading this post, you’ve probably tried to connect your Bluetooth microphone directly to your Bluetooth speaker, only to be met with frustration. I mean, why can’t these two devices just talk to each other? They’re both Bluetooth devices, after all.
But does that mean a wireless microphone with Bluetooth speaker connection is impossible? Definitely not.
And in this blog post, we’ll show exactly how to connect a wireless mic to Bluetooth speaker.
How to Connect a Wireless Microphone with Bluetooth Speaker
In order to connect a Bluetooth microphone to a Bluetooth speaker, you’ll need to use a receiver and/or transmitter or a device such as a computer coupled with a communication software.
If your Bluetooth speaker has no AUX input: Use a receiver and a transmitter
You Will Need:
- A receiver
- Bluetooth transmitter
- Bluetooth speaker
- Wireless mic
Steps to Follow:
- Plug the Bluetooth transmitter into the aux port of the receiver.
- Plug in the receiver and turn it on.
- The receiver powers on and activates the Bluetooth signal, allowing your Bluetooth-enabled device to connect to it.
- Turn on your wireless mic and put it in pairing mode.
- The transmitter will activate a Bluetooth signal that connects to your wireless mic.
- Pair the Bluetooth transmitter with your wireless speaker too.
- Once the wireless- transmitter-receiver- Bluetooth speaker connection is successful, you can use the mic without having to worry about being tethered to the speaker.
If Your Bluetooth Speaker Has Aux Input: Use A Standard Receiver
If your Bluetooth speaker has an AUX input, you’ll be able to connect microphone to speaker much easier. The AUX input eliminates the need for a transmitter.
You Will Need:
- Mini aux to standard auxiliary adapter
- Av to Aux cable
- Wireless microphone

Steps to Follow:
- Plug in the speaker and receiver to a power source.
- Plug in the AV cable into the wireless receiver.
- Plug in the other end of the AV cable into the Aux adapter.
- Plug in the adapter into the speaker.
- Turn on the speaker and adjust the volume.
- Turn on the receiver and also the volume on the receiver.
- Turn on the wireless microphone and let it connect to the receiver.
Use a Master Device and a Communication Software
If you want to connect a wireless mic to Bluetooth speaker, you can also use a master device such as a computer and a communication software.
You Need:
- A master device- computer or phone
- Communication Software such as Audacity or communication Apps such as BTAudioCast for Apple or BT Mono Connect for Android
- Wireless mic
- Bluetooth speaker
Steps to Follow:
- Connect the wireless mic to the master device.
- Turn on the Bluetooth speaker and put it in pairing mode.
- Open the communication software on the master device and select the Bluetooth speaker from the list of devices.
- While on the app, select the wireless app as the input device from the list of devices.
- Begin streaming the audio from the wireless mic to the Bluetooth speaker.
- Adjust the volume on the Bluetooth speaker as needed.
How do Wireless Mics Work?
Wireless microphones are a great way to have freedom of movement while still being able to be heard clearly. But how do they work?
Wireless microphones transmit the audio signal from the microphone to a receiver through the air. The receiver then amplifies the signal and sends it to the speaker system.
Wireless mics usually operate in one of two ways: either by using radio frequencies or by using infrared light.
Radio frequencies are waves of energy that can travel through the air, while infrared light is invisible to the naked eye but can be picked up by a receiver.
Radio frequencies are the most common type of wireless mic, as they can be used in a variety of environments and don’t require line of sight between the microphone and receiver.
However, infrared mics are often used in situations where there are a lot of people or objects.
