Bluetooth Total 2 XLR Rechargeable Bluetooth Receiver - Easy Live

In this review of the Bluetooth Total 2 the bottom line is simple: it is a compact, purpose-built way to add wireless audio to any XLR-equipped mixer or active PA. Audio professionals and gigging musicians will appreciate that the device turns an XLR input into a Bluetooth source with minimal setup, and the built-in rechargeable battery means it can run for hours without mains power. The reviewer found it especially useful for quick venue setups, walk-up guest playback, and linking two units for larger systems while remaining unobtrusive on stage.

Key Features

• XLR output: Sends line-level audio directly to mixers or powered speakers using a balanced XLR connection for reliable live sound integration.
• Rechargeable battery: Provides over 6 hours of runtime so the unit can be used for extended rehearsals or shows without needing external power.
• Bluetooth streaming: Allows easy wireless playback from phones, tablets, or laptops, removing the need for cables during quick set changes.
• Wireless linking: Can pair two Bluetooth Total 2 units to feed multiple speakers or stereo systems without running extra signal cables.
• Compact design: Small footprint lets the unit sit on or near a mixer without obstructing other gear, simplifying stage layouts.

Who It's For

The Bluetooth Total 2 is aimed at live sound engineers, small venue operators, DJs, and musicians who need a simple way to add Bluetooth playback to an existing mixer or active PA speaker. It is particularly useful for house-of-worship setups, portable PA rigs, and quick mobile gigs where cable management and setup speed matter.

Those who need multiple input options, advanced signal routing, or integrated digital effects should look elsewhere; the Bluetooth Total 2 is focused on a single task and excels at it, rather than replacing a multi-input audio interface or mixer.
