Russound BSK-1X, Manual

Testing 

Verify the red power LED is lit on the BTC-1 Termination 

Box and the green LED is lit on the BTC-1X Remote 
Transceiver.

Turn on a 

Bluetooth

® enabled source i.e. media player, 

smartphone, or computer. Open the 

Bluetooth

 menu 

and enable the pairing feature on the device.  Select the 
Russound BSK-1

product by its configured name from the 

list of available 

Bluetooth

 enabled products. 

Select the desired audio from the device and start the 

playback.

For Local Source configurations

The Local Source feature is designed for use when the 

Primary Zone is in the Off state and is not available if the 
Primary Zone is already in use.

When an audio output signal from the BSK-1 is detected 

by the MCA-Series controller, the Primary Zone will turn 
on, select the BSK-1 source and set the zone's volume level 
based on the settings made through WebConfig software. 

The volume on the source device should be at its highest 

setting to assure the audio output level from the BSK-1 will 
be strong enough to detect and activate the Local Source 
feature. If the audio signal level is not strong enough 
for the MCA-Series controller to detect, the local source 
feature will not activate or, if already in use, will shut the 
local source feature off after 10 minutes of no audio signal 
detection.

For non-Local Source configurations

Turn on a zone and select the BSK-1 source input and 

adjust the volume to the desired level. Audio from the 

Bluetooth

 enabled source should be heard throughout the 

zone.

Normal Use

Only one device at a time may be actively paired with 

the BSK-1 in the multiroom system. Activate the 

Bluetooth

feature from the source device and connect or 'pair' with 
the BSK-1 by selecting its assigned name. If being used as a 
Local Source and the Primary Zone is in the Off state, it will 
automatically be turned on, select the BSK-1 source input 
and volume level adjusted. Otherwise manually choose 
your music and start playing. Choose the appropriate 
source input on the Russound system and enjoy the music. 
When finished, disconnect your device from the BSK-1 or 
turn off the 

Bluetooth

 feature of the source device. If you 

move your device out of range (15M without obstruction) 
it will automatically sever the connection. If you are unable 
to connect to the BSK-1, another device within range may 
be connected.
