StaffPad and Speakers

I am wondering if anyone is using a particularly good Bluetooth speaker with StaffPad? I am able to plug my iPad directly into my soundcard, but it drains the battery very quickly. I had thought of purchasing a couple of Homepods, but then I found out that StaffPad won't play over them. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I use IK multimedia iLoud MicroMonitors. For such small speakers they kick ass.
 
They seem to be perfect for what I 'm looking for. Mixing with headphones is really starting to hurt my ears but I don't have the room for big studio monitors. They seem to look nice and small and from the reviews seem to have a great sound.

Thanks for the recommendation!!
 
So I picked up the IK multimedia iLoud MicroMonitors. It's truly a whole lot of sound that comes from those two little boxes, and these are the perfect complement to StaffPad. Thanks @dcoscina. (And no, I haven't gotten over the fact that you just cost me $300.:rofl:)
 
Instead of buying some bluetooth speakers, would anyone know if it's possible to route the audio from Staffpad on my iPad through to my iMac, so I could make use of the speaker system that I have for the iMac?

I am able to do this with my Apogee Duet, but it eats the iPad's battery in a big hurry.

How’s the low end? Do the contrabasses come through?
 
I bought a bluetooth audio receiver and connected it to my hifi system (which actually contains of a discarded pair of Genelec 1031a from earlier studio use).

Yes, it’s super easy. All you have to do is connect the iPad to your computer and enable it in audio/midi settings. I then set it as the input in logic and create a track for it that I leave in monitor mode. I also have one of my good Kontakt pianos on another track as a sketching tool. Now the audio from staffpad is played through logic and I have my favorite piano sound for sketching. The perfect setup.

How do you do so? is there a cable involved?

That's a good idea - thanks for the tip!

That's fantastic, I'm going to give it a try, thanks!
 
I just go one of these:

So, connect my tablet to this via Bluetooth and plug into my Scarlett and monitors. Works very nicely!

I had seen it on Amazon for $100, but that was a little steep. Then saw it was $60 on the manufacteror's site, so went for it.

 
Not sure how latency would be relevant to StaffPad, but it feels just as responsive as using the built in audio.

Headphones would be plugged into the audio interface.
