The B1 has special circuitry and a precision-tuned antenna for incredible, extended-range wireless audio that offers more versatility and superior sound.
The audio quality of most Bluetooth products is improving and B1 takes it to a new level by implementing aptX-HD, one of the highest fidelity Bluetooth audio codecs.
Experience stunning audio with the Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver including aptX-HD, a 24-bit upsampling DAC, and extended range.
The B1 Bluetooth Receiver utilises the AKM AK4396A DAC, widely known for its low noise and high fidelity. The B1 is essentially an upsampling 24-bit Bluetooth DAC and will pad all bit depths internally to 24-bits, thus achieving a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Due to the AK4396A’s high signal-to-noise specs, the fact that the digital signal is converted (upsampled) to 24-bits and the added benefit of triple redundancy power source conversion and filtering, the B1 presents impressive low noise and low distortion characteristics with a noticeable improvement over other Bluetooth devices.
Most Bluetooth implementations have very limited range, usually within just one room. But with careful signal management circuitry and antenna tuning, we offer a superior solution that will reach more than one room with no degradation in audio quality.
The B1 features aptX HD coding which is an advanced Bluetooth audio codec that provides much higher-quality sound than previous versions. The B1 is backwards-compatible with all previous Bluetooth implementations as well, so you can wirelessly stream music from any device and still enjoy outstanding sound.
B1 also functions as a wireless audio bridge from your device to your favourite DAC or preamp. Use the internal DAC with RCA analog outputs or connect the optical output into another DAC.
Audioengine has been changing the way people listen to music since 2005. "We believe in the power of music and our passion is to inspire you to listen every day." Great sound, beautiful design and useful features.
