A:AnswerI don't know about any brand however it pairs nicely with my Plantonics wireless earphones. Also I leave mine plugged in at all times. I didn't see a need to unplug it.
A:AnswerThe transmitter will send audio from your stereo receiver to a bluetooth speaker. I'm not familiar with how the google assist speaker group works.
A:AnswerI don't have experience with that specific use, but I tried it in church as an in-ear monitor using wireless earbuds while playing guitar. The problem was that it had about a 1/2 second delay from when I'd play or sing to when I'd hear it in my ears. Very disorienting. I'd wonder if the singing/preaching and sound would not be synced in your usage. Just a thought.
A:AnswerThe transmitter should come with everything you need. Simply use the provided RCA cable to plug into the audio out of your turntable. Then pair the transmitter with your bluetooth speaker.
A:AnswerSo far, I have been able to do 2 nice things with the Aluratek device: 1) I can send music from my iPhone to this device and have the device make my speakers play it. 2) I can send music from my Macbook Pro to this device and have the device make the speakers play it. The Aluratek device seems to be working fine having my iPhone or Macbook Pro send music to it via Bluetooth :)
