Node 132 - Bluetooth and Analog Audio Out in parallel

Hi.

I want to add a bluetooth outdoor speaker system. Because I have the N132 direct on a power amp, the audio level inside the house is pretty low. So all outputs are on maybe -20dB. If I add a Bluetooth device over a external BT Transmitter (over Optical out), the level is far too low to drive a bluetooth speaker. 
Is it possible to add a BT Headphone connection within the N132 but drive the analog outs (to poweramp) in parallel and adjust the BT?

Cheers, Peter

  Hi Peter,

  The NODE (N132) cannot output Bluetooth at the same time as the audio outputs.

  You may want to consider adding a second BluOS device to power your outdoor speakers, or use a BluOS speaker that you can move outdoors (weather permitting).
