I would like to use 1 of my Behringer 3031a speakers with a Kali MV-BT controler out doors while I putter around outside. Is there a cheap summing device I can use for this so I don't have to pack the pair out.? I see Radial has something that would work but it's $300 ish for that. I'll go that route if I have to as I like Radial products.

You can get a little mixer for $100 USD or less.

If your source is a computer you might be able to configure it for mono (same sound from both sides).

...If you know how to solder you can make a fixed-passive mixer with a pair of 10K resistors, which cost almost nothing, plus the cost of a box & connectors.

Just Amazon music from my phone or laptop if signal not to far for BT. I'll check & see if they have mono in the app
Thanks..

I can't do it on Amazon that I can see so I found a Radial MIX 2:1 for $179
I'll just go this route since Radial stuff is robust & can use it with xlr/1/4 cable sets I already have

If not in the App, then you can still set the BT Receiver to Mono in the system settings, and that'll downmix the signal before it's even sent via BT.

You can set your phone or laptop to mono by going to the Accessibility settings on the device and setting audio to mono.
