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.
