Russound BSK-2 - Bluetooth 5.1 Source Kit
The new BSK-2 Bluetooth Source Kit from Russound adds significant new features and functionality from the popular prior model.
The BSK-2 is designed to add full-featured Bluetooth audio to any audio system and offers a unique range extension of up to 500' by allowing the remote location of the transceiver module anywhere in the home.
The BSK-2 is comprised of two components, the BTC-2X Remote Transceiver and the BTC-2 Audio Hub that is used for audio wiring and power connections.
The BSK-2 is recommended for all installations where the ideal location of the Bluetooth source device, a customer's phone or tablet, is located far away from their audio equipment. The BSK-2 is also used to add multiple Bluetooth inputs to a Russound MCA-66 or MCA-88 Controller.
The BTC-2X Remote Transceiver is designed to add a single source of Bluetooth audio to the Russound MCA-Series of controllers which have all of the audio and power connections to support it already built-in. The BTC-2 audio hub is therefore not required for a single source offering cost savings to easily add Bluetooth to Russound controllers.
The BTC-2X can also be used as a standalone Bluetooth audio source when the extra 500' of extension is not required.
