Connect B2 to Ruark R4

[Kevin O'Brien]

Has anyone been able to connect their B2 to a Ruark R4? If so, is it possible to share a quick set of steps to achieve it, please? :-)

Hi,

assuming the Ruark and B2 are physically adjacent to each other the best way would be to use an optical connection from the B2 line/SPDIF out to the optical input on the Ruark.

This is how I connect my B2 to my amp/receiver.

Note that the B2 end is a 3.5mm jack 

A cable like this will do the job

Thank you John - shamefaced here as I forgot to add that I want to do this via Bluetooth!?

Hi Kevin,

yes you can connect them via Bluetooth.

Give this a try

One of the drawbacks with Bluetooth is that you typically have to be within 10m (30ft) to pair successfully and unless you invest in a long range transmitter or extra cabling to improve the range.

Lots of discussion about that on this forum.

Hi Kevin,

Later versions of the R4 have Bluetooth and optical inputs - any reason you are not using the optical in, as this will give the best audio quality?
