BTC -1x
Bluetooth®
Remote Transceiver
Overview
BTC-1X Remote Transceiver accessory enables
the user the ability to wirelessly stream source
content from any
Bluetooth
enabled device to
a Russound multiroom audio system. The BTC-
1X connects via a single CAT 5 RJ-45 terminated
cable. The CAT-5 cable carries power and balanced
audio signals to the
Bluetooth
RJ-45 jack on the
Russound multiroom products. The compact BTC-
1X transceiver can sit on a fl at surface, hide behind
other equipment or be placed in a standard
electrical box behind a wall-plate. This versatility
allows for the
Bluetooth
transceiver to be placed
in the most optimal position. Most
Bluetooth
products have very limited range based on near
fi eld usage. With the BTC-1X the user can listen to
streaming wireless music and move throughout
the listening area without interruption.
The BTC-1X can also be programmed using a
micro USB cable. This feature off ers a specifi c
security code and the ability to name each BTC-
1X connected in the system. This is handy when
multiple
Bluetooth
transceivers are wired in close
proximity to each other.
