Need Help! Wireless Audio Solution

[Sawyer42]

Hello! 

 

I'm trying to get audio moved from a Windows 10 PC to a speaker system about 20m away through a number of walls and offices. SO I figure this discounts any bluetooth solutions. I've been looking for a wifi solution however everything I find on amazon seems to phone home to China or otherwise expose my network. 

 

All I'm looking to do is pump some Pandora or Spotify through a PA system inside a mid-sized office. Anyone have any ideas???

Do you need to use the PC as the source? Could you just plug an old phone in and play Pandora/Spotify/etc. from that?

 

If you do need to use the PC as the source, you can stream over wifi using a old phone at the other end with the SoundWire app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.georgie.SoundWireFree)

pretty sure pandora and spotify are compatible with alexa you could try those as they would serve as a wifi solution.

You can log directly into a spotify account through the Alexa app, and then the log in is saved for connected echo units. Definitely a relatively safe way to pipe spotify to a set of speakers.

Connect a phone into the system, then use Spotify connect. You get the bonus of great sound quality with the convenience of bluetooth

I mean if money is no option there is this,  but you could look at any wireless in ear monitor system  as they are intended for concert performers that want to hear what they sound like at the sound board.

The PC does need to be the point of origin which is whats making shopping for a solution difficult.

The amazon echo idea works for that, you can use spotify's desktop app to select the echo as the output device, then control it from the PC
