Hi All
N00b here so be kind.
I have a Nord Stage and some lovely KRK VXT6s through which i play the Nord. The VXTs have both balanced XLR and 1/4in TRS inputs. Have only used the jacks in the past.
Just moved house and have installed the VXTs on some book shelves in the living room. I need to try to connect the Nord to the monitors by wireless, so i dont have wires everywhere as my partner doesnt like wires. Behringer and alike have wireless guitar systems with 1/4 inch jacks for use on stage. Are there any similar inexpensive products that would be good for keyboard? I am keen to maintain a stereo output. BTW I am not that anal about the "quality" I play the keyboard for fun and dont record. Willing to sacrifice perfect sound for a wireless life.
Hope you can help as Google has been useless.

Re: Wireless/Bluetooth Monitors
Hello and welcome to NUF.
You can find a lot of BT or other type of wireless stereo audio transceivers for TV that would basically do the job, but quality aside you need to choose one with the lower latency possible, otherwise it will be from "unpleasant" to "impossible" to play.
Searching on Thomann for something more specific for musical instruments, I found this bundle that should fit your need https://www.thomann.de/gb/sirus_stereo_ ... bundle.htm

Re: Wireless/Bluetooth Monitors
bluetooth is inherently too high latency for live performance playing, but there are plenty of non-bluetooth options available to do remote audio. Look for stereo wireless in ear monitors or delay speaker wireless equipment.
something like these, but keeping in mind latency really needs to be under 10ms.

Re: Wireless/Bluetooth Monitors
Promise to take your partner on a couple shopping trips to the nice malls in trade for letting you run some wires, Bluetooth has too much latency.
Buy the Nord monitors so they look like part of the keyboard and fit in with the decor of the room.
Update
Thought about getting a couple studio monitor stands and put one on each side of your Nord and place your monitors on the stands. That way with some good cable management you will barely see any wires.

Re: Wireless/Bluetooth Monitors
Yes, as others have said, bluetooth still has too much latency. re: "Behringer and alike have wireless guitar systems with 1/4 inch jacks for use on stage. Are there any similar inexpensive products that would be good for keyboard?" The same kind of products work for keys, but more expensive since you want to run stereo. Something like the Boss WL-20L, but you'll need a pair of them for stereo.
