CARATTERISTICHE
L’Audison B-CON è l’unico ricevitore Bluetooth® 5.0 progettato per l’utilizzo automotive che ha ottenuto la certificazione “Hi-Res audio wireless” dall’ente JAS (Japan Audio Society). B-CON è la scelta ideale per trasmettere lo streaming audio da un player Hi-Res (Fioo, Sony Walkman…) e da dispositivi mobili Android/Apple di ultima generazione. B-CON è compatibile con tutti i formati audio e raggiunge le massime prestazioni con lo streaming BT non compresso (max 96 kHz/24 bit, solo con dispositivi Android LDAC), sia riproducendo file locali che con le App che forniscono streaming Hi-Res (Tidal, Qobuz…). Come da tradizione Audison, in fase di progetto è stata riservata particolare attenzione alla gestione del volume, aspetto fondamentale per la ricerca della massima qualità audio. Lo studio del team R&D Audison si è concentrato sull’utilizzo audiophile della funzione “Absolute Volume”. Nel B-CON questa gestisce il Volume Master del DSP*, evitando la perdita di risoluzione che si manifesta quando si agisce sul volume del dispositivo mobile (modalità: Absolute Volume Off), garantendo la piena gamma dinamica. In caso di chiamata vocale, il DSP commuta in automatico sull’ingresso Master del processore (associando il dispositivo mobile al B-CON e all’auto). Al termine della chiamata ritorna all’esecuzione del brano precedentemente messo in pausa, gestendo il vivavoce dell’auto senza limitazioni. Audison B-CON ha un ingresso ottico digitale “pass-through” (max 192 kHz/24 bit) che fornisce un secondo ingresso ausiliario al DSP attivo quando non è presente lo streaming BT.
L’uscita digitale (max 96 kHz/24 bit) e quella analogica (max 2 VRMS, S/N RATIO 100 dBA) permettono di collegare il B-CON a qualsiasi dispositivo audio. *disponibile sulla nuova linea Forza o su bit One HD Virtuoso collegando la porta ADC.
PRODUCT FEATURES
The Audison B-CON is the only Bluetooth® 5.0 receiver designed for automotive use that has obtained the “Hi-Res audio wireless” certification from JAS (Japan Audio Society). B-CON is the ideal choice for streaming audio from a Hi-Res player (Fioo, Sony Walkman …) and from latest generation Android/Apple mobile devices. B-CON is compatible with all audio formats and reaches maximum performance with uncompressed BT streaming (max 96 kHz/24 bit, only with Android LDAC devices), both playing local files and with Apps that provide Hi-Res streaming (Tidal, Qobuz. ..). In keeping with Audison tradition, during the design phase particular attention was paid to volume management, a fundamental aspect for the search for the highest audio quality. The study by the Audison R&D team focused on the audiophile use of the “Absolute Volume” function. In the B-CON this manages the Master Volume of the DSP*, avoiding the loss of resolution that occurs when operating on the volume of the mobile device (mode: Absolute Volume Off), ensuring full dynamic range. In the case of a voice call, the DSP automatically switches to the processor’s Master input (by associating the mobile device with the B-CON and the car). At the end of the call it reverts back to playing the song previously paused, managing the car speakerphone without limitations. Audison B-CON has a “pass-through” digital optical input (max 192 kHz/24 bit) which provides a second auxiliary input to the active DSP when there is no BT streaming. The digital output (max 96 kHz/24 bit) and the analog output (max 2 VRMS, S/N RATIO 100 dBA) allow the user to connect the B-CON to any audio device. *available on the new Forza line or on the bit One HD Virtuoso by connecting the ADC port

Priorità per il pairing Bluetooth: Nel caso di un telefono già accoppiato con il vivavoce Bluetooth del veicolo, occorre effettuarne il disaccoppiamento prima di eseguire la procedura mostrata di seguito. Una volta terminata, è possibile effettuare un nuovo pairing del proprio telefono con il vivavoce Bluetooth ed utilizzarlo per lo streaming audio tramite B-CON.
Priority for Bluetooth pairing In case of a phone already paired with the vehicle Hands-free Bluetooth, it is needed to unpair it before executing the procedure shown below. Once terminated, it is possible to do a new pairing of the phone with the vehicle Hands-free Bluetooth and to use it for audio streaming through the B-CON.
