The Arylic BP50 is a versatile Bluetooth wireless stereo pre-amplifier with a wide range of input and output options, designed to enhance your audio experience. It serves as both a Bluetooth receiver and transmitter, allowing for flexible integration into various audio setups.
Function Description:
The BP50 acts as a central hub for your audio system, capable of receiving audio wirelessly via Bluetooth from devices like mobile phones, tablets, or TVs. It can then output this audio to your amplifier, active speakers, or even transmit it wirelessly to Bluetooth earphones or earbuds. This dual functionality allows you to enjoy music from your Bluetooth-enabled devices through your home stereo or to listen privately with Bluetooth headphones from any connected audio source.
Beyond Bluetooth, the BP50 offers a comprehensive array of analog and digital inputs. It features a dedicated phono input for turntables, allowing you to connect your vinyl player directly. Line-in inputs accommodate other analog devices, while optical and TV ARC (Audio Return Channel) inputs cater to digital sources like soundbars, amplifiers, or TVs. For local music playback, it includes a USB Type-A port for connecting USB disk drives. Additionally, a USB Type-C port enables connection to a PC, allowing the BP50 to function as an external USB DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).
All incoming audio signals, whether from Bluetooth, phono, line-in, optical, TV ARC, USB disk drive, or USB DAC, can be routed to connected amplifiers or active speakers, or simultaneously streamed wirelessly to Bluetooth earphones or earbuds. This makes the BP50 an ideal solution for creating a multi-room audio experience or for personal listening without disturbing others.
Control of the BP50 is intuitive, with options including a physical volume knob and input mode button on the device itself, an included IR remote controller, and a free mobile application (Go Control) available for both Android and iOS systems. The mobile app provides full control over the device, including playback controls, input source selection, Bluetooth pairing and transmission management, and a user-friendly EQ system for sound customization.
