Alto Professional Bluetooth Total 2 XLR Rechargeable Bluetooth Receiver
Alto Professional Bluetooth Total 2 XLR Rechargeable Bluetooth Receiver
A compact, rechargeable Bluetooth receiver with balanced XLR output — plugs directly into any XLR-equipped mixer or powered speaker to add wireless audio streaming with 100-foot range and up to 6 hours of battery life.
What It Does and Who It's For
The Alto Professional Bluetooth Total 2 solves one of the most common friction points in live sound and event audio: getting a wireless music source — a phone, a tablet, a laptop — into a professional XLR input without an adapter chain, a cable stretched across the floor, or a separate audio interface in the bag. Plug the Bluetooth Total 2 into any XLR input on a powered speaker or mixer, press the pair button, connect from your device, and the signal is flowing at a balanced +4dBu output level. It is that direct. The internal rechargeable battery runs for over 6 hours and charges via micro USB, which means it is completely self-contained for portable setups — no power outlet required at the speaker end. Two Bluetooth Total 2 units can be wirelessly linked together for stereo playback or to feed two separate speakers simultaneously from a single source. At 0.2 lbs and smaller than a TV remote, it disappears into a cable bag or DJ case without taking up meaningful space.

Instant Bluetooth for Any XLR Setup
Most powered speakers and mixers made in the last decade have at least one open XLR input. The Bluetooth Total 2 converts that input into a wireless receiving port in seconds — no modification, no additional hardware, no signal chain to reroute. If your speaker or mixer has an XLR in, it now has Bluetooth.
Balanced Output Where It Matters
The +4dBu balanced XLR output is a meaningful technical detail. Unlike consumer 3.5mm adapters that deliver an unbalanced line-level signal subject to noise pickup over cable runs, the Bluetooth Total 2 delivers a professional balanced output — the correct signal level and impedance for live sound gear, with the noise rejection that balanced wiring provides.
Stereo and Multi-Speaker Linking
Pairing two Bluetooth Total 2 units together over their built-in wireless link enables true cable-free stereo delivery across two separate speakers or two XLR channels on a mixer. One device streams to both receivers simultaneously — no second Bluetooth source, no Y-split cable, no extra pairing steps beyond pressing one button on each unit.
Great Fit For
- DJs, MCs, and event hosts who need to accept Bluetooth source audio into a professional XLR mixer or PA system
- Venues, restaurants, and houses of worship adding wireless streaming to an existing XLR speaker install
- Fitness instructors and presenters who already own a powered speaker with XLR input and want cable-free playback
- Musicians using the Alto Professional Busker or other XLR-equipped portable PA who want a dedicated Bluetooth channel
- Live sound engineers who want a reliable, pocketable Bluetooth input option in their kit for client requests
- Karaoke hosts and event producers running backing tracks from a tablet or phone into a professional system
Practical Use
The Bluetooth Total 2 is as useful on a gigging rig as it is in a fixed installation. For mobile performers, it eliminates the AUX cable that clients and venues inevitably trip over, and it keeps the source device — a phone, a tablet, a laptop — wherever it needs to be rather than tethered to the mixer. For fixed installs like a restaurant PA, a church system, or a conference room speaker, it turns any XLR-equipped system into a Bluetooth destination that any guest or presenter can pair to without staff involvement. The 100-foot range is generous enough for most rooms, and the battery independence means there is no power management headache at the speaker end — just charge it between events via any USB source and it is ready.
Specifications
There are few pieces of gear that deliver this much practical value at this size and price point. If you have a mixer, a powered speaker, or a portable PA with an open XLR input, the Bluetooth Total 2 simply makes it better — and it disappears into your kit. It is one of those accessories that you use at every single gig once you have it.
