2 in 1 Bluetooth 5.0 audio TX+RX

SKU 8240-TP395EAN 8219671102902Item type: Assembled

Description

A versatile 2 in 1 device that both sends and receives audio wirelessly. It sends the audio from TVs and CD players to Bluetooth headphones or speakers (Transmitter mode) and receives audio from phones, tablets or computers to play it on wired speakers or headphones (Receiver mode). A simple selector switches between the two modes, and connecting is easy over Bluetooth 5.0 and the 3.5 mm audio cable.    
This device is a smart, versatile answer to wireless audio. It works both as a Bluetooth receiver and as a Bluetooth transmitter, for the greatest convenience when listening to music.

In receiver (RX) mode the device acts as the way in, taking the Bluetooth signal from a computer, tablet or smartphone and passing it on to any Bluetooth device. That means you can share your favourite music or podcasts with friends and family without the nuisance of cables or awkward connections.

In transmitter (TX) mode the device turns any wired audio source, such as the TV or a CD player, into a Bluetooth audio source. Connect it to the TV and it sends the sound straight to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, so the audio follows you around the house, with no clutter and none of the limits of cables.

What is more, if you have two of these devices, one can be set to RX (receiver) mode and the other to TX (transmitter) mode. That way you can extend Bluetooth to equipment that was never built with it. For example, you can take the audio from a wired device such as a CD player with the unit in TX mode and then send it over Bluetooth to audio equipment such as headphones or speakers that have no Bluetooth of their own. This flexibility lets you add Bluetooth to audio equipment that does not have it.

With a dependable Bluetooth 5.0 link and an operating range of up to 10 metres, the device gives a stable, high quality connection.

The 200 mAh lithium-polymer battery gives hours of uninterrupted use, in receiver mode as well as transmitter mode. To recharge it, the device can be plugged into a USB port on the TV or on whatever device you are using. If need be, a power supply with a USB output can be used.

Its compact size (44 × 44 × 12 mm) and light weight (just 18 grams) make it extremely portable.
