The Audison B-CON is an advanced Bluetooth 5.0 receiver specifically designed for automotive use, which has obtained the "Hi-Res Audio Wireless" certification from the Japan Audio Society. This device is the ideal choice for those seeking high-quality audio streaming from Hi-Res players such as Fioo or Sony Walkman, as well as from the latest Android and Apple smartphones.

The B-CON is compatible with all audio formats and delivers maximum performance with uncompressed Bluetooth streaming (up to 96 kHz / 24 bit), available only on Android devices compatible with the LDAC codec. This allows for superior sound quality when playing local audio files or using streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz.

The device integrates RCA analog outputs and Toslink optical digital outputs, offering versatile connections to high-quality audio systems. With the implementation of the LDAC codec, the B-CON ensures a frequency response up to 40 kHz, providing an immersive and faithful listening experience. Additionally, the B-CON supports handsfree call management and features "Absolute Volume" to preserve the dynamic range of the audio signal, preventing quality loss during volume adjustments.

In summary, the Audison B-CON is an essential accessory for car audio enthusiasts seeking a superior listening experience without compromising sound quality.

Hi-Res Audio wireless

Up to 24-bit / 96-kHz Hi-Res audio music streaming thanks to LDAC* wireless codec. With 3x the bitrate of standard BLUETOOTH® technology, you can enjoy a superior listening experience for all your music. 

*only for Android devices. 

Absolute Volume

When connected with Audison B-CON hi-res Bluetooth receiver, this feature manages the Master Volume of the Audison Forza bit amp thus ensuring a full dynamic range signal at the input, avoiding loss of signal resolution. To better understand how important the "Absolute Volume” feature is in searching the best audio quality please consider the fact below:

• The bit depth of the content determines the signal Dynamic Range
• The original SPDIF specification was for 16 bits of “bit depth”, but now we often use 24 bits with Hi-Res files
• The SPDIF specification does not include volume support. So, whenever we overlay volume control into the SPDIF data, we lose some bits and the signal quality decreases. Depending on the scenario, we can lose up to 8 bits of dynamic range!!
• Absolute Volume retains full bit depth!
• Absolute Volume also allows using the smartphone as a virtual DRC for the Master volume!
