Questions & answers about the B1 Bluetooth Music ReceiverSetting up your Bluetooth turntable with your Bluetooth-ready Audi
Connecting a Bluetooth turntable to an Audioengine Bluetooth device
Setting
up your Bluetooth turntable with your Bluetooth-ready Audioengine
speakers/components should be simple! First, you would also need to make
sure your Audioengine Bluetooth device is on, in pair mode (LED light
flashing), and near the turntable. Next, you would need to use the
pairing button to send the turntable into pairing mode. Depending on the
turntable, you will need to either press and release the turntable's
pair button or press and hold it; for example, on the Audio Technica
AT-LP60-BT you would need to hold the turntable's pairing button for
about two seconds, until the light flashes different colors. Once the
turntable is in pairing mode, it will search and connect to the nearest
available Bluetooth device. Once the turntable if paired and connected
to your Audioengine Bluetooth device, the pair light on the receiver
should turn solid.
Can I use the B1 with my original A5s?
Yes,
you can still use the B1 with the original A5 model! With this kind of
setup, you'd just need to use either an RCA to mini-stereo adapter (like
the one that was included with your A5s) or an RCA to mini-stereo
cable. You would just connect the RCA end into the RCA outputs of the B1
and the connect the mini-stereo side to either the top or back
mini-stereo inputs of the A5s.
What if my source doesn't support aptX®? Can I still use B1 and if so, how will it sound?
You
can absolutely still use the B1, and it will sound great. aptX® is a
high quality Bluetooth audio codec that works really well. With that
said, in addition to mandatory support for SBC, Bluetooth also includes
optional support for many other codecs, like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and
AAC, all of which have their own advantages, and some of which sound
very close to aptX®.
Do I need to install any special drivers for the B1?
No
extra software or drivers are needed. The B1 is compatible with any
device that supports Bluetooth, and the A2DP profile for streaming
stereo audio. This includes most all Smartphones, Tablets, and Laptop
Computers.
Does B1 work with any stereo, music system, or powered speakers?
Yes,
any audio product with a standard analog audio input can connect to B1
with the included RCAs. B1 also includes a digital output so you also
can connect via optical (TOSLINK).
