Overview

The BSK-1 

Bluetooth 

Source Kit enables the user of a portable 

media player, smartphone, or other 

Bluetooth

 equipped device 

to wirelessly transmit audio content to any typical audio 
system. The BTC-1X Remote Transceiver connects to the BTC-1 
Termination Box via a single CAT-5 cable. The CAT-5 cable both 
powers the transceiver and transmits audio signals from the 
BTC-1 Termination Box which is then connected to any amplifier 
or receiver for audio and 12VDC trigger signals. On Russound 
multiroom audio systems, it can be designated either as a 
global source for the multiroom system or as a local source for 
an individual "Primary Zone" with automatic control over zone 
power, source selection and volume level. 

The compact BTC-1X Remote Transceiver can sit on a flat 

surface or be placed in a standard electrical box in an ideal 
location so that the user can connect and move throughout the 
listening area without interrupting the audio stream. Housed in 
a compact surface-mount metal box, the BTC-1 Termination Box 
is connected directly to the amplifier or receiver via RCA audio 
patch cables and an optional 12VDC trigger cable.
