Audison - B-CON HI-RES Audio Streaming 5.0 Bluetooth

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 (FIIO, Sony Walkman…) and from the latest generation Android/Apple mobile devices, fully supporting the car’s Hands-Free Bluetooth profile.

B-CON is compatible with all audio formats and reaches maximum performance with uncompressed BT streaming (max 96kHz / 24bit, 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 192kHz / 24bit) which provides a second auxiliary input to the active DSP when there is no BT streaming. The digital output (max 96kHz / 24bit) 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
