Extension Card 2.0 – BT HD

Wireless HD audio transmission – flexible, powerful, future-proof

With the Extension Card 2.0 BT HD, your DSP/DSP amplifier becomes a fully-fledged Bluetooth® audio streaming center. Thanks to the modern BT5.0 standard and support for high-quality codecs such as aptX HD, AAC, and SBC, you can enjoy wireless music playback in excellent quality – with up to 576 kbps and 24-bit/48 kHz. The module is complemented by an optical digital output (SPDIF), which opens up additional connection options.

High Definition Audio

Thanks to the Qualcomm® aptX™ HD audio codec, wireless and consistent audio transmission in high-resolution quality is possible.

Direct digital signal transmission from the module to the DSP – without any additional AD/DA conversion – ensures lossless processing and outstanding sound performance.

Full Control

The BT HD module supports control commands such as play/pause, track forward/back, connect, pair, and disconnect via a connected DSP remote control (e.g., CONDUCTOR or DIRECTOR). The DIRECTOR's display also shows the artist, track title, and currently used audio codec.

Wireless DSP Tuning

The increased bandwidth of the Bluetooth® 5.0 standard allows – in conjunction with the DSP PC-Tool software (minimum DSP PC-Tool 6 or higher) and a Bluetooth®-enabled PC – wireless tuning of all DSP products with the ACO platform. USB cables are now a thing of the past. Seamless integration – maximum compatibility. The Extension Card 2.0 BT HD is compatible with all HELIX and MATCH DSP products with an Extension Card 2.0 slot. A module-specific plastic cover plate is included for easy installation; it screws precisely to the side panel of the device. A high-performance antenna for optimal reception is also included – for a well-thought-out solution down to the last detail.
