Range
SONAR supports Bluetooth 5. Bluetooth 5-enabled devices' range can
extend up to 40 meters. Devices that do not support Bluetooth 5 typically
run up to 10 meters, but that depends on factors such as the given device's
quality, transmission power and current environment. For example, walls
obstructing the transmission path or a protective cover on the Bluetooth
device impede radio communication. The sound drops out if the device
moves out of range or behind walls that interfere with the signal. In this
case, the Bluetooth LED will fl ash quickly.
Bluetooth Audio Stream Stutters or Drops Out
A cable is less susceptible to interference than Bluetooth, which has to send
a constant stream of audio data via a radio frequency.
To get a clear signal without dropouts, it is best to align SONAR and the
source device in line of sight of one another.
Good to know: Your source device may be set up to issue ringtones,
notifi cations and system sounds. The speakers will render these sounds
along with the audio stream if they arrive via Bluetooth, so be sure to
disable these functions on your Bluetooth device.
