Audison B-CON Bluetooth 5.0 Hi Res Receiver for Car DSPs

Factory Bluetooth squeezes music down before it reaches your speakers. The Audison B-CON is a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver built for car DSP systems, streaming up to 24 bit 96kHz with LDAC from Android phones.

It is Hi Res Audio Wireless certified by the Japan Audio Society, and also handles AAC and SBC.

Problems it solves

• Losing resolution by turning the phone volume down. Absolute Volume controls the DSP master volume instead, keeping full dynamic range on supported Audison processors.
• Only one digital input on the processor. An optical pass through input (up to 24 bit 192kHz) feeds the DSP when Bluetooth is idle.
• Taking calls through a music streamer. On compatible processors it swaps to the master input for a call, then resumes the paused track.

B-CON specifications

• Bluetooth: 5.0 EDR, A2DP 1.3, AVRCP 1.6
• Codecs: LDAC, AAC, SBC
• Optical input: S/PDIF up to 24 bit 192kHz
• Analogue output: 2V RMS, 100dBA S/N
• Supply: 6 to 24V DC
• Idle current: 70mA at 12V
• Control port: ADC serial RS232
• Dimensions: 90 x 60.4 x 23mm

Fitment and compatibility

Pairs with Audison processors. Absolute Volume and call handling work with the Forza line, or the bit One HD Virtuoso through its ADC port. The optical and analogue outputs let it feed other audio devices too.

What is in the box

Along with the B-CON receiver, the box includes an ADC to SDC cable and an ADC to ADC cable for linking it to an Audison processor or AF amplifier.

Install notes

Mount it away from metal panels that block the Bluetooth signal, such as inside a steel seat base.

Run the ADC lead to the processor if you want Absolute Volume and call switching.

Warranty

This comes with the manufacturer's warranty through the Australian distributor. See the manufacturer's terms for details, plus our guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.

B-CON FAQs

What phones get 96kHz streaming from the B-CON?

Android phones with LDAC. Apple devices use AAC.

Does the B-CON work without an Audison DSP?

Yes, its digital and analogue outputs connect to other audio gear, but Absolute Volume needs a compatible Audison processor.

Can I connect a Hi Res player as well?

Yes, through the optical input when Bluetooth is not playing.

What supply voltage suits the B-CON?

Anything from 6 to 24V DC. Idle draw is 70mA at 12V.
