blafili XLR Bluetooth Audio Receiver

Does exactly what it said it would do
Clear as a bell

Great for speakers that aren't bluetooth!

Todo bien solo el material que está construido parece ser de plástico común

I originally bought 3 of the blafili B3 Professional XLR Bluetooth v5.1 Music Receivers for a couple of my clients about a year ago and they're still working great. So when I found out about the blafili XLR Portable Bluetooth v5.1 Music Receiver I wanted to try it out.

I bought one blafili XLR to use at an event to play background music that turned into a bit of a dance party. I had it plugged directly into a QSC K10.2 with the bass boost on. It sounded great and the quality was excellent, just like the blafili B3 and had great range (the iPad was 60 feet away for the 8 hours with no dropouts). I love having the ability to customize the name of the unit when it appears on the device list of your phone, iPad, etc.. I also like the form factor and the ease of use and that it is rechargeable (USB – C) with any 5V charger.

One of my concerns before I bought the item was, I had read a few people complain that when you plug it directly into the speaker it's upside down, but once the speaker was up on the stand, the indicator lights and buttons were visible because the unit is now above your eye level.

Overall, I'm very happy with the unit and would like to get a second one to take advantage of the stereo feature and not have to cable to the second speaker.

Lastly, they have very good Technical Support. I had a bit of an issue customizing the name on the first unit I ever bought and they help me figure out the problem and walked me through how to resolve it. I would definitely recommend the blafili XLR along with there blafili B3.

This device just works... Easy to connect and so far so good with no problems. We've used it to stream background music through our PA during breaks for a Big Band that I mix the sound for. Bought a 2nd one for backup. Great price. Recommended.

This is the perfect way to upgrade a PA system or sound desk to allow for Bluetooth input, such as songs from a phone.

The used a short XLR cable to allow me to position the blafili XLR up with a clear signal path. Range seems fine, though I haven't tested thoroughly, and all Bluetooth devices struggle when there are too many other Bluetooth devices around, so testing in my relatively quiet house won't tell you much about how it might work in a concert, church service, or shopping centre.

It pairs easily and reliably, and reconnects quickly and reliably. The battery seems solid, and charges with real USB-C (USB-C to USB-C cable--some devices only support USB-A to USB-C).

I haven't been able to test the stereo pairing with a second device, since I only have one. However, a mono stream is most likely adequate for most purposes. I tested the input feeding into a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen, using SoundForge, and it is nice and clean. The device isn't bothered by phantom power on the XLR connector. It would be nice if it could use phantom power to recharge the battery, but it doesn't.

Compared to pro audio gear (which is usually very heavy and solid) this is very lightweight, with a light plastic shell with clear join marks. Nonetheless, it feels solid enough to handle regular, normal usage in the professional environment it is clearly intended for. The buttons have a nice, positive action and there are no flimsy toggles or other bits to break off.

I think this is a practical, solid, reasonable value device to add Bluetooth to your professional PA or sound desk.

Used this to connect phone to PA system.
The range and sound quality was good.
It's a receiver only. It would be handy to have a companion transmitter to connect to a conventional microphone, to convert a corded microphone to cordless.

Simple to use and can be used to play music or audio from a bluetooth connected device, such as phone. Excellent USB C charging. Not particularly sturdy, but overall, would recommend.
