Pairing

However, there are a couple of workarounds you can try if you still want to use the SB16 subwoofer with your phone:

Use the soundbar as a bridge: If your soundbar has Bluetooth connectivity, you can pair your phone to the soundbar and then use the optical or HDMI cable connection between the soundbar and subwoofer to play audio from your phone through the subwoofer.

Use a Bluetooth adapter: You can purchase a Bluetooth adapter with RCA or 3.5mm outputs and connect it to the subwoofer's line-in jack. Then, you can pair your phone to the adapter and play audio from your phone through the subwoofer.

It's important to note that using either of these methods will likely result in some audio delay, as the signal will need to be processed by the soundbar or adapter before being sent to the subwoofer. Additionally, the sound quality may not be as good as it would be if you were using a wired connection.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

Make sure that the Bluetooth adapter you purchase is compatible with both your phone and the subwoofer.

The type of adapter you need will depend on the inputs available on your subwoofer. If your subwoofer only has RCA inputs, you will need an adapter with RCA outputs. If your subwoofer has a 3.5mm line-in jack, you will need an adapter with a 3.5mm output.

The quality of the Bluetooth adapter will also affect the sound quality. A higher-quality adapter will likely provide better sound quality than a cheaper adapter.

I hope this helps!
