Open Box Alto Bluetooth Ultimate Dual-Channel/Stereo Bluetooth Receiver with XLR outputs Level 1

We use it to stream music, through our mains between sets. It stays paired with a phone, tablet etc. Very easy to use.

This was purchased mainly to stream music from my phone to a pair of 15" speakers. It works great! I've used it direct to the speakers with XLR cables for a quick and dirty party music setup, and also through a mix board for gigs that want a microphone on standby. In trials, I've laser ranged it out to 54 yards (162 ft) before it started dropping signal. I haven't noticed any volume difference through this vs direct mini-jack from phone through 1/4" plugs to the board. The true stereo output may not be that necessary, but it's always nice to have the option. Yes, it does make a loud search ping if you walk inside and lose the phone pairing. Walking behind a large vehicle will also trip it. My other bluetoooth link also emits a pairing ping when the link drops or re-connects, so it's not unique to the Alto Ultimate. Most will be able to work around this - leave the phone in range if you have to use the facilities, or pause the music and drop the speaker's volume until you're paired back in, then crank it up and enjoy the freedom to move about! I can't comment on battery life, it's been on a charger most times I've used it. I stopped back at GC and commented how well this works, and surprised they don't stock them in stores. Having to order it in is the only negative I could come up with. It's a bit pricey, but I'm very happy with this purchase and have used it a dozen times or so. Hope it stands the test of time.
