XGIMI Projector - Move or Roam

Hi,

 

I have an XGIMI projector which we use every Friday night and store in between uses.  At present we just bluetooth the audio to a portable speaker.    

 

It works well but I was going to upgrade to a move or a roam.  When I cast via bluetooth to can I thriough that connect it to all the speakers I have in the room - a couple of play ones and and a sonos 5.   If i can I might get the roam.  

 

Thank you

 

David

You can use the Roam as a “Bluetooth gateway” by grouping the other speakers to the Roam in the Sonos app while the projector is connected to the Roam over Bluetooth. If the other speakers are in the same room as the Roam, I don’t believe there will be any delay as @jgatie mentioned.

The Move is Bluetooth compatible but cannot be used as a “gateway” like the Roam.

Yes, but there will be a significant delay because the audio has to be buffered to send to the other speakers.  So it probably will not sync well with the picture.
