The BSK-1 Bluetooth® Source Kit enables a portable media player, smartphone, or other device equipped withBluetooth wireless technology to transmit audio content to any multiroom audio system.

When used with a Russound MCA-Series controller, the BSK-1 kit can be used as a global source for system-wide access, or as a Local Source for independent use by a specific room. Local source use with MCA-Series controllers provides additional automation features automatically turning on the audio, selecting the BSK-1 source input and setting the volume in a room configured as the 'Primary Zone' via SCS-C5 software.

The BTC-1X transceiver features a 49' (15m) range and the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) ensures high quality stereo audio. It utilizes advanced aptX encoding for CD-like quality from supported devices.
