Some projectors may not have AUX ports, this is where other methods come in handy.
RCA cables
RCA connections or otherwise known as “phono” connections, are the red, white and yellow connections that most TV’s have, this is also the most common method for sound to be able to be played on speakers.
RCA connections comes in three cords, the yellow cord will be for video while red and white will be for the audio.
Bluetooth (for Bluetooth projectors)
If however the projector is Bluetooth capable and the speaker is not, use a Bluetooth receiver to turn your “vanilla” speaker into a Bluetooth speaker.
Bluetooth (for non-Bluetooth projectors).
If your speaker has no AUX port and only Bluetooth works but your projector is not a Bluetooth one, use a Bluetooth transmitter for projectors.
