Hi,

I have a pair of Edifier R2730DB, I love them, but their remote control is really annoying due to it being infrared (I have to point very carefully and range of it is very bad).
I want to replace remote/receiver to RF – NRF24L01, my biggest concern is that RF might interfere with sound quality, with other internal components or bluetooth, so my question is can/will RF interfere?

Side note: I'm not asking how to do it, I'm experience enough to implement NRF24L01 on my own, RF interference is what I'm worrying about.

Thanks for help in in advance.

Both that module and Bluetooth work at 2.4GHz so there is potential for interference. Maybe look into wireless modules that run on some other frequency?

Also don't overlook the remote having weak batteries.

I know it runs on 2.4GHz, thats why I created this thread :)
But NRF24L01 will be active only while receiving , so I'm assuming if it interfere it will while receiving data?

What about modules that use 433MHz or 315MHz? In some cases, they're close to a drop in solution for replacing IR remotes.

I have few of those as well, but I want to add NRF24L01 to other things and make them communicate, simple RF modules goes only one way.
I guess I have to put NRF24L01 in and see if it will interfere...

Seems odd that they've implemented Bluetooth for audio and no incorporated a way to control it via Bluetooth as well?

Might be interesting to see which Bluetooth chipset they've used and find out if it can be persuaded to carry some command data too?

IIRC you can just tell that module to use different channel

More details, please?

My laptops WIFI and BT is on same chip, If I listen to music via BT my WIFI speed gets decimated, tho as I said remote receiver  will not be on all the time.
