Turn your existing sound system into a wireless audio receiver and enjoy your favorite music without the hassle of cables.

What is a Bluetooth receiver?

A Bluetooth receiver is a wireless audio receiver that you connect to a speaker, amplifier or home cinema set. This allows you to wirelessly stream music and other audio from, for example, a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. This is an ideal solution if your existing sound system does not have built-in Bluetooth functionality.

Advantages of using a Bluetooth receiver

• Easy wireless music streaming from your smartphone, tablet or laptop
• No hassle with cables and connections
• Save money by upgrading your existing sound system instead of buying a new one.

How does a Bluetooth audio receiver work?

A Bluetooth receiver wirelessly receives audio signals from a Bluetooth transmitter, such as a smartphone or tablet. The Bluetooth receiver converts the wireless signal into an analog or digital audio signal and forwards it to your sound system.

It is very easy to connect a Bluetooth audio receiver to your audio system. A Bluetooth receiver consists of a small box, a USB power cable, 1 mini-jack (3.5mm) adapter cable and 1 or 2 audio cables.

You use these to connect the Bluetooth receiver to your audio system via the aux input or Toslink and to provide it with power. Then, you pair the Bluetooth receiver with your (Bluetooth-supporting) smartphone. That's it!

Extra information

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a wireless connection to ‘stream’ audio between an audio source (transmitter) and an audio playback device (receiver), located at a short distance from each other (<10m).

To enable this wireless Bluetooth connection, both the transmitter and receiver must be Bluetooth-enabled and linked to each other (this is also referred to as pairing).

Bluetooth is the technology that enables you to link these devices without using a cable.

Examples of sources and audio playback devices:

Source

• Smartphone/ tablet (iOS, Android);
• PC/ laptop;
• Equipment, e.g. TV/audio system, to which you add a Bluetooth function by means of a Bluetooth transmitter.

Audio playback device

• Bluetooth speaker/ headphones;
• AV amplifier with Bluetooth function;
• Equipment, e.g. an audio system, to which you add a Bluetooth function by means of a Bluetooth receiver.

Codecs

To stream audio over this Bluetooth link, various codecs may be used:

SBC

• Each audio Bluetooth product features at least the SBC protocol;
• Fair audio playback;
• Lossy compression technology, resulting in partial loss of the original quality during transmission;
• Bass and treble may especially sound distorted.

AptX

• CD-quality audio;
• Lossless compression technology, no loss of quality during transmission;
• Much better audio quality.

AptX Low Latency

• CD-quality audio + no latency;
• Lossless compression technology, no loss of quality during transmission;
• No lip-sync problems, for use with combination of picture and sound (watching TV and gaming);
• Audio quality comparable to aptX.

AAC

In addition to SBC and aptX, AAC is another audio codec that is used to transmit audio via Bluetooth. AAC is supported by iOS (Apple, iTunes) devices and is designed to achieve better sound quality than mp3.

In addition to basic models, we also have Bluetooth audio transmitters and headphones that support both AAC (Apple devices and iTunes) and aptX/aptX Low Latency. So, whether you want to stream Bluetooth on an iPad, iPhone or Android phone, our products will work with any device that supports Bluetooth.
